Matt Hancock faces growing I'm a Celeb anger from grassroots Tories amid deselection threat
Grassroots Tories in Matt Hancock’s constituency have shared their anger over his reality TV appearance over fears he will damage the party at the next election amid growing calls for his deselection.Mr Hancock’s decision “compounds a series of mistakes, not only by Matt, but by our Government, which we will have to pick over the pieces before the next series of elections”.
However, the councillor said from “listening to the conversations in our local pub” he felt the MP’s appearance on the reality show was probably having an effect on voters perception of the Conservative Party. “That’s a matter for the association and their executive to take the initial decision. I don’t sit on the executive committee in West Suffolk so it would be up for them to instigate that procedure, but to date I haven’t heard anything along those lines,” he said.
