>> In The Times it reports that Hancock was pictured* kissing Coladangelo in the office. So
>> utter stupidity would be another reason for kicking him out.
A bit of speculation in the media this morning about method and motivation for leaking the pictures - including whether Dominic Cummings finger prints were on the thing.
It's almost inconceivable that staff in his Private Office didn't know, or at least strongly suspect, there was something between them.
After yesterday's stills there is now a video clip. Hancock speaks to somebody on the other side of a door, presumably a member of his staff before closing the door and having a lengthy snog with Ms Coladangelo. The person/people on the other side of that door must have known what was going on. Private Offices' might not leak like sieves but the fact that the Boss is 'in flagrante' with a staff member will reach the departmental grapevine.
It's also incredibly difficult to have an affair, or even be close friends, without other people seeing the body language between two people; differing attitudes to personal space for example. A wholly platonic male/female friendship is likely to have a different 'vibe' to male/male relationships and colleagues will clock that. That John Major and Edwina Curry managed to keep it secret with only their Minister Tony Newton, and perhaps the Whips, knowing was something of an achievement.
I suspect more will emerge.
I'd also imagine Hancock is having a squeaky bum moment over whether there's another installment tomorrow......
