Hugely enjoying the latest bonkers conspiracy theory that Matt Hancock is doing well in #ImACeleb because "the production team is in on it", etc. He's getting votes because he's being a good sport and a team player. Not because there's some grand conspiracy.
I mean, obviously there's an element of "make the fucker eat kangaroo anus and suffer", but I think it's gone beyond that now. If you're not steeped in Twitter and politics, it's easy to see him as a good sport who's mucking in and pulling his weight.
Yes, he shouldn't be there while parliament is sitting. Yes, it's grotesque that he's getting nearly half a million quid for this (divorce is *expensive*, eh). But it is an inspired casting by the #ImACeleb team, and it's paying off.
Finally, don't forget that the Tories have been pretty good at winning votes for the past decade or so. It's not a surprise he's doing well. I think and hope Jill will win, but I'm not surprised Hancock is in the final three.
