I have already expressed my opinion about Matt Hancock taking part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity. But once again, he has managed to leave me almost lost for words.

He has decided not to stand for parliament at the next election – getting his announcement in just before he was sacked. So why doesn’t he do the decent thing and resign now? Oh, I forgot – if he did that, he would have to stop drawing a salary of over £80,000 as an MP.
