Should Matt Hancock have been sacked?

Matt Hancock has resigned over his affair but questions remain for him and the government

Matt Hancock has resigned as health secretary over an affair with his aide Gina Coladangelo, but questions still remain for him and the government. Nick Robinson asks Justice Secretary Robert Buckland why the prime minister didn't sack him but instead let him choose to resign. Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner also tells Martha Kearney why she's calling for an investigation into Hancock's use of personal emails and the appointment of Gina Coladangelo in a publicly-funded role.
