‘Must be hands on’: Amusement as Matt Hancock posts job advert for new Commons aide

Matt Hancock became a figure of amusement today after he tweeted out a job advert for a new member of staff at his House of Commons office.

The former health secretary’s post looking for a communications officer was ridiculed on social media in wake of his affair with Gina Coladangelo.

Many made reference to the couple while some asked if they needed to be experienced in CCTV – in reference to him being caught out by his own office security camera in June.

Mr Hancock called for applicants to help run his social media accounts and do public relations.

The ad said the successful candidate will be ‘highly organised’ and have ‘sound judgement’.

Reactions

Needless to say, there were plenty of reactions to the post.
