Maintain standards in public office by ensuring Matt Hancock resign.
Matt Hancock must resign or be removed from Government.
The people of the UK have followed the rules decided upon by Mr Johnson, Mr Cummings and Mr Hancock, among others. It is pretty clear that they have been guilty of not following their own advice or that of the scientists. We cannot trust this Government and cannot accept another day of Mr Johnson telling the public that the matter is closed. If Mr Hancock does not step down, whatever vestige of trust in the Government remains at present, will be gone.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
