Local politicians pass vote of no confidence in their MP Matt Hancock as they blast philandering ex-Health Secretary's 'hypocrisy and hubris'

By -

Councillors in the Newmarket have passed a vote of no confidence in their local MP, Matt Hancock.

Mayor of Newmarket Michael Jefferys, who is a member of the Labour Party, used his casting vote to pass the motion at a meeting of Newmarket Town Council this week, with five voting for, five against and four abstentions.

The passed resolution states that the West Suffolk MP Mr Hancock has 'neglected the best interests of his constituents' and, as health secretary, 'demonstrated hypocrisy and hubris in the pursuit of his own interests'.

The Conservative MP resigned from the Cabinet last month after footage was published of him kissing an aide in his departmental office, in breach of coronavirus rules.

Mr Jefferys said he has been 'dismayed' at Mr Hancock's performance as an MP and as health secretary, adding: 'For someone in such a responsible position to then behave in the way that he has is for me the last straw.'

West Suffolk Conservative Association said after Mr Hancock's resignation that it had received a 'heartfelt apology' from him, and formally backed him to continue representing the constituency.

A spokesman for the association said in a statement on Wednesday: 'Even the Labour/Independent-controlled local town council couldn't find a majority against Matt Hancock.

'We are very grateful for the strong local support Matt is receiving.'

Seconds later the 6ft 5' inch screen idol - who has claimed he's '100% a cannibal' in vile Instagram messages to other women - then licked the blood from the wound. Lorenze shared the exclusive image with DailyMailTV as a stark warning to other women who might be seduced and manipulated by Hammer.
