No doubt the funniest/dumbest story of yesterday was the revelation that disgraced Conservative MP Matt Hancock would be heading to the jungle for the latest series of ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ after not gaining a position in Rishi Sunak’s cabinet, but I’m not sure if it’s going so well for him even before the show starts airing.

Not only has Hancock had the Tory whip suspended immediately – meaning he won’t be able to vote on issues in Parliament as a member of the party – but Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also said that he was incredibly disappointed with his actions as ‘MPs should be working hard to solve the problems of their constituents at this challenging time in the UK’. Kinda unsure whether Hancock would actually be doing that if he was here – more likely he’ll just be copping a feel in his office with some intern – but you’ve gotta admit that Sunak kinda has a point there.

However, the best comment so far has come from someone named Andy Drummond, the Deputy Chairman of the West Suffolk Conservative Association, who said the following:

I’m looking forward to him eating a kangaroo’s penis. Quote me. You can quote me that.

Not sure if that’s meant to be taken in jest or whether this Andy Drummond guy really hates Matt Hancock and wants to see him punished like the rest of the country? Probably the former but I’d like to think that he really is looking forward to seeing Hancock writhing around in pain for the next couple of weeks as he’s forced to participate in really gross tasks for the nation’s pleasure.

Of course, we’ve also gotta contemplate just what Matt Hancock was even thinking by getting involved with ‘I’m A Celebrity’ in the first place? Everyone in his party now seems to hate him if they didn’t before, the general public are annoyed that he’s off gallivanting on some glorified PR stunt rather than serving the needs of his constituency during the cost of energy crisis and he presumably thinks that he’s going to turn around the general public’s opinion of him by appearing on reality television? And then he’s probably gonna be eating kangaroo dick every day as well! How deluded does the guy have to be to think that this is a good idea?

Does anybody actually think that he’s going to be able to turn public opinion on him around via this stunt? I suppose everyone is going to at least know all about it though because it’s probably going to be the most memeable content of the year. Bring it on.
