Matthew Hancock to resign as Secretary of State due to vote of no-confidence.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Matthew Hancock MP, failed in his duty to protect NHS, Healthcare and Social Care staff.
He has failed to recognise the efforts of the NHS staff body by excluding them from the key-worker pay-rise.
He is proven by his destruction of PHE and appointment of Dido Harding. He must resign.
If you destroy the NHS through privatisation you will destroy the country and the health of everyone within it.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for Ministers to be sacked.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
