[LeftishBrit]

Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been suspended as a Conservative MP after joining the cast of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Mr Hancock will swap representing his constituents at Westminster for eating bugs in the jungle in Australia.

But Tory party managers have taken a dim view of the West Suffolk MP's decision to take part in a reality TV show while Parliament is sitting...

Andy Drummond, deputy chairman of the West Suffolk Conservative Association, said he was looking forward to seeing Mr Hancock "eating a kangaroo's penis".

Following in the footsteps of the dreadful Nadine Dorries and George Galloway. I wish they'd all just stay in the jungle!

1. It's a rare thing for a Tory to unite people

But Matt Hancock has managed to unite the whole country...... in disgust at him for taking the "I'm a Celeb" fee!

2. "Andy Drummond, deputy chairman of the West Suffolk Conservative Association,

said he was looking forward to seeing Mr Hancock 'eating a kangaroo's penis'."

In covering this, Channel 4 News said Drummond followed this remark with, "And you can quote me on that."

The voiceover added breezily, "So we did."
