Former Tory leadership rival Hancock backs Johnson to 'bring country together'

Boris Johnson has won the much sought-after endorsement of former Tory leadership candidate Matt Hancock, despite being attacked by his rivals for snubbing the first TV debate.

Mr Hancock also wrote:"Boris is emphatic in public and in private that he wants to be a one nation prime minister and bring the country together around an optimistic vision for the future. I will hold him to that.

As Mr Stewart, along with Mr Javid, Mr Gove and arch-Brexiteer Dominic Raab scramble for votes in a battle to stay in the race this week, next up for the candidates is hustings with political journalists at Westminster.

Other 'Fake' Tory leadership contenders should please withdraw now for their 'desperate' friend. These cheap stunts must stop! So crass!

They’re all full of it! As my Grandma would say “tells mare lees thanThe Lane clock that hower!”

He is after a seat on his cabinet for more experience because being so young he will have his shot at PM in the future.

Front bench taking shape.

Tory = Self Serving Hypocrite

MattHancock Spineless? No way lol y'all are gonna get voted away and forgotten about coz you have no substance. You stand for nothing expect yourself.

To bring country together in order to do what exactly?

Zero shame.

Erm fickle

When the next ones are voted out watch them rally behind the obvious winner as they consider their future cabinet positions!🤔

When you are in need of a job it's a good move to support your future boss.............😀

Nothing new in politics. Smell the slime, folks.

Selfservatives Self over party, party over country.

Do we think a labour leadership contest would be any more edifying ?

Boris will have over 50% of the second vote. Surely declare him winner and get Brexit delivered.

What first attracted Matt Hancock to the front runner who is likely to hold his career prospects in his hands?

Blatant jockeying for position. The toadies are on the move with blatant hypocrisy rife.

Which of the great offices of state do you think he's bagged for that endorsement?

These tories seem to lack morals or conviction. They are prepared to back a man they know to be a racists, homophobic liar. The country deserves better.

This should come as no real surprise & speaks directly to MattHancock character. He showed his true colours the day he covered for Grayling in the Commons with sneering arrogance. The Tories are pathological narcissists. His NHS role must be met with suspicion by all staff.

Did he get to choose his own cabinet position or will he have to wait and see

Ok Matt, what cabinet post are you going to be given

Also known as “I’m trying to lick arse to get a cabinet role should he win”
