Wembley's capacity has been reduced to 22,500 for group fixtures at Euro 2020, but that is set to be expanded
to 45,000 - around 50% of full capacity - for two knockout games in the last 16 before the semi-finals on
6 and 7 July and final on 11 July.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock admits breaking social distance rules with aide

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has admitted breaking social distancing rules after pictures of him kissing an aide were published in a newspaper. He said he had "let people down" after photos emerged of him with Gina Coladangelo - whom he appointed - and was "very sorry".

Labour urged the PM to sack Mr Hancock, calling his position "untenable".

But the health secretary said would stay "focused" on dealing with the pandemic.

Yes the story should be her getting the job in the first place. Quite handy for the Tories to pin her getting on the job on him wanting to get a leg over and not the rampant and far reaching get friends into jobs and money they have going on.

On another point - whoever leaked CCTV from inside a govt building should be getting into a lot of trouble no?

I think it’s highly doubtful that there will be CCTV in a Minister’s office, as this would surely be a significant security risk. In which case, the footage may have come from a camera that has been set up with the express purpose of exposing him.

That does not look like it was taken in an office, its a common hallway which will be covered by CCTV

He is seen in his distinctive ninth-floor office inside the sprawling Department of Health building, which is a stone’s throw from the Houses of Parliament.

During the pandemic, the office has provided the backdrop to his Zoom appearances on TV — including the Andrew Marr Show.

Mr Hancock is seen checking the corridor is clear before closing the door and then leaning on it to ensure he cannot be disturbed.

What else to be expected? Might get a private talking to - but only for the carelessness of being caught on camera.

This presumably will now have Ferguson, hot footing, his way to his lawyers; to lodge a case for unfair dismissal; now that the Bumblecunt has re-written the rules.

Since when is a manager screwing an employee a; "personal matter" ?

Every company I've ever worked in; it was a dismissal offense; & in my last one; it cost the CEO his job; & that was a Fortune 100 company.

And all of that is without asking if serious misconduct was what got the employee hired for the job.

Johnson can hardly fire him for having an affair can he.

That in a year in which over 128,000 of countrymen have died of the pandemic, thousands of people have been made redundant, businesses have had to close as they couldn't accommodate the lockdown closures/social distancing measures, and when hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of people weren't allowed to attend or hug at funerals, weddings etc.

If 'sorry' covers all of those sins, who does he have to kill to lose his job?!
