    Seriously now, what has happened to Matt Hancock? He's not been seen since he disappeared behind the black door of No 10 quite some time ago. Shall we send a search party?

  9. Get involved - 'Two jobs' Borispublished at 14:48 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    Email: politics@bbc.co.uk

    David: How can Boris be expected to do any justice to either of his political appointments? I mistakenly thought that both jobs would be full time. He's either extremely talented (which I doubt), or both jobs are a doddle and can both be squeezed in, I know that lots of MPs have more than one job, but not when both are funded by the taxpayer. This doesn't show our political system in a very good light.
