Matt Hancock was compared to the fictional character Alan Partridge after he uploaded an unusual video to Twitter on Saturday.The former health secretary, who resigned after it emerged he breached social distancing guidelines by kissing his aide in June, has kept a relatively low profile over the summer as his marriage broke down.Now the Tory backbencher appears to be re-emerging into the world of politics and posted a 50-second video online where he meets and greets his constituents in Haverhill.With upbeat music in the background, Hancock looks slightly out of place as he fist-bumps one member of the public while another affectionately touches his face.Great be out & about in Haverhill yesterday, chat to people on the high street and see the brilliant new splash park funded by the Council. pic.twitter.com/I2mE02N4FD— Matt Hancock (@MattHancock) September 25, 2021Safe to say, it didn’t go down very well online.Anti-Brexit campaigner and writer Femi Oluwole commented: “150,000 people dead...the worst breach of Covid lockdown rules of the whole pandemic...“And this guy (along with 100s of other Tories) is just going to stroll back into Parliament at the next election as if nothing happened because they’re in safe seats. #MakeVotesMATTER!”150,000 people dead......the worst breach of Covid lockdown rules of the whole pandemic...And this guy (along with 100s of other Tories) is just going to stroll back into Parliament at the next election as if nothing happened because they're in safe seats.#MakeVotesMATTER!— Femi (@Femi_Sorry) September 26, 2021Others couldn’t quite believe it was real, with one account tweeting: “This is so cringe. It has to be satire. If he thinks this does him a favour, I’m speechless.”This is so cringe. It has to be satire. If he thinks this does him a favour; I’m speechless— Alk100 (@alk100) September 26, 2021Some accounts didn’t miss a beat and immediately compared it to the political satire show The Thick of It – or Alan Partridge.The phrase “accidental Partridge” began showing up all over Twitter, meaning Hancock’s awkwardness embodied Steve Coogan’s character Partridge, a broadcaster who lacks significant social skills.Coogan describes Partridge as a Little Englander with ring-wing values, and he has become a cultural touchstone on what not to be in broadcasting.Even the Twitter account Accidental Partridge – which catches clips of awkward public appearances – recognised Hancock’s video.#AccidentalPartridgehttps://t.co/nxL6gVVtfl— Accidental Partridge (@AccidentalP) September 26, 2021The Thick of It is back!— Silkie Carlo (@silkiecarlo) September 25, 2021Accidental Partridge... https://t.co/ObhAlOGrAv— A. x (@_aimzzz_) September 27, 2021off the charts partridge vibes https://t.co/SsRqOaRUUM— prendal (@manforoneseason) September 27, 2021If Alan Partridge was a minister…… https://t.co/fvbcAzJX1f— Vincent (@Planetwaves20) September 26, 2021Alan Partridge’s new show looks tamer than usual https://t.co/9Enc2wl9i9— Dan 4.0 (@teenagewild1ife) September 27, 2021This short clip leaves you feeling like you’ve binged four seasons of Partridge https://t.co/OjYV36PkAP— Erica Buist (@ericabuist) September 26, 2021He doesn’t even know how to lean on something.— Pete Bell (@RealPeteBell) September 26, 2021Related...Tories Say Matt Hancock Affair Contributed To Batley By-Election DefeatNHS Pay Rise 'Shambles' As Government Flip Flops On AnnouncementBoris Johnson Dismisses Matt Hancock Row As 'Westminster Bubble' Story
