We shall see.
In my experienced opinion, he will be far from the first who confuses his own personal fame and charisma with the show in which his fame was created.
Many soap actors have fallen foul of the same trap - imagining that their part in a drama - exciting and much-talked about though it was - is the same as them outside the show, shorn of the role they played, and left exposed as really not interesting at all.
Remember avuncular Len Goodman on Strictly? Good old Uncle Len, always there with the advice, and a cheery wink.
He left the show, and his two following TV shows, and radio show, sank without trace.
Why?
Because when he wasn;t being 'Uncle Len' on Strictly, we found that he had the wit and charisma of a paper clip, and no-one wanted to hear his babbling anymore.
And he had professional skills to offer, and a personality, Hancock is not even starting with those to to commence his fall from grace.

Hancock’s resignation is exposing a few fissures within the Conservative Party.
On his return from Australia Hancock was expected to have the whip restored, and that he could continue to return to his duties as Conservative MP.
Now he has told them to stick it up their backsides, and he will ride it out to the General Election as an Independent.

jourdain - // Being older, every time I hear the name 'Hancock' I think of 'Tony' of that ilk. A brilliant comedian who didn't know his limits. Matt H. doesn't have the brilliance as an excuse. :( //
We have cross-posted, but like me, you have seen this play many times before.
Kenneth Williams outside the Carry On's.
Charles Hawrtry the same.
Harry H Corbett after Steptoe.
Len Goodman after Strictly.
The list goes on and on ...
People who create a genuine career after their initial shot at exposure do so because they have a talent that will transfer elsewhere.
Hancock has no talent at all, other than believing his own hype.

AH,
I have to disagree with some of your assertions.
Carry On were a collective of comedic actors, a kind of Super Group of Comedy. Some were great in the group but poor on their own. But that does not apply to Kenneth Williams.
He didn’t disappear without trace after Carry On, he just did other things. A lot of radio in ‘Just a Minute’ 69 episodes of Jackanory, and all the characters in 52 episodes of Willo the Wisp.

bobbinwales Your links don’t prove the uk is doing better than others in the Eu and it is certainly worse.

Undoubtedly - but those doors open for every ex-Mp regardless of their career within the House.
What I refer to is Mr Hancock's delusion that he is going to become a media star - there is is going to find himself rudely awakened pretty quickly, once the standard few months of post-Celebrity interest evaporate.

There was a suspicion towards the latter end of the Johnson Premiership that his deputies were there for the celebrity of it (seeing themselves on the telly) rather than having any ability as a cabinet minister.
And Hancock seems to confirm that suspicion. His ego is overactive. A prime candidate for the media to build up his high profile, so they can relish it more when they inevitably knock him down.
Poor Matt, too stupid to see what is happening.

Corby - // He's an MP still but won't be standing at the next general election so he could be around for another year. //
I understand that his local Constituency Party have posted a Vote of No Confidence in him - so maybe he won;t be an MP until the election, I'm not sure of the proceedure, but if they can get rid, I suggest they will.
