By the way, did you hear how much Hancock is being paid for going into the jungle? Apparently a cool £400,000. I still wouldn't do it. ITV has more money than sense, obviously. |

In some ways he is well qualified to be in the jungle on that program. He is after all coming from an environment infested with snakes and rats. Seriously, though, his MP salary should be forfeit for the time he is out there. Swanning off to Australia whilst still claiming the salary we the taxpayers fund for the job he has abandoned is frankly just taking the piss out of us all, and reeks of self-interested, entitled arrogance laced with contempt for those of us who pay his wages. Surely it is a matter for his constituency to deal with. If the electorate within his constituency feel he isn't doing a satisfactory job they can choose not to vote for him at the next election. The real question should be is the Recall of MPs Act good enough and does it need to be amended. If the electorate within his constituency feel that he is not doing the job he has been elected to do and needs to be replaced immediately with someone to actually do it, it should be possible for them to trigger a recall petition on that basis shouldn't it? |

Since everyone is talking about it and they are getting loads of free publicity for their show, it appears to be money well spent and a rather shrewd move. I don't see how you come to the lack of sense conclusion. Can you elaborate? |

Indeed, so called 'celebrities' eating kangaroo testicles, and I'm sure it will be prime time essential viewing for millions. I wonder, is it possible to dumb down TV anymore? |

. I wonder, is it possible to dumb down TV anymore? Nope. We've reached rock bottom with GB news. |

He might last all of 30 minutes. They can then rename the show "Hancock's Half Hour".

He's a politician and he is disliked, quite a lot. I think people will want to see him eat and drink lots of nasty stuff. Could be wrong, but that's my take. |

He wont win, but people will want to see him suffer. |

My wife watches the show I don't when it first started, I watched 10 minutes and that was enough for me load of Midland Bankers, Hancock in my opinion will resign when he has finished the show, it is thought that he wants to make a new career outside of politics probably something in the media

It is more likely he just won't stand as a candidate at the next GE |

These Tory MPs get ever more shameless in lining their own pockets while neglected the duties they are paid to service. Time for a change. I doubt the accusation of 'lining their pockets' can be levelled at Tory MP's only. However, on this occasion Chief Whip Simon Hart was quite right to remove the whip from Hancock. He's being paid £84k a year to represent his constituents, from Australia? Hancock said he will donate a 'part' of his fee to a local hospice, very charitable but it's not good enough. He should forfeit his salary for the time he is in Australia. The man is an attention seeking disgrace. Cop to scallywag: I'm arresting you for shoplifting. Scallywag to cop: Oh ah um right, no problem, I'll put some of them back on the shelves.
What comes next?

Some meaningless drivel, a badly executed punchline, another failed attempt at demonstrating how clever you are.... |
