Rejected petition Sack Matt Hancock.

Sack Matt Hancock from his job for breaking COVID-19 rules.

More details

Matt Hancock has broken the very rules he’s helps make, leaving the general public unable to take him seriously. We need someone who we can trust, and who in this time of crisis at very minimum, can follow their own rules. Boris accepted his apology, but we the public do not. We’d like him removed from his job with immediate effect. This would be a good step In helping restore the public’s faith in the government’s commitment to following their own rules on COVID-19.
