The Dominic Cummings file

I don't see how bj could do any worse without the wretched cummings.
Depends how you define doing worse. On the measure Johnson cares about he's doing just fine. To have these polling figures after fucking up the country and killing tens of thousands of people someone is doing something right for him :(

I honestly don't understand how that makes Johnson look anything else but weak. Unable to do the job of PM without his Magic Eugenicist Cunt hanging around and working his shitwizardry.
I think the issue is, to his base - which december 2019 revealed to be actually quite large - it won't matter that much. A raised eyegorw, and that's it.
Having said that, if this does rumble on and on, and coincids with a truly shitty autumn and winter, then opinions may chnage.
 
Time to move on...


That's OK - the more he refuses to provide the information, the more people are going to assume it's because he has something to hide - nice to see a standard bit of Home Secretarying bouncing back on him.

The damage is already done - if this information exonerated him from the second trip, I think we can be fairly certain that it's be all over the news faster than a Corbyn smear story. I suspect the only reason it's not is because he knows it will cast him as even more of a liar.
 
Dominic Cummings will be back at work on Monday, having recouped from an operation he had during the summer that he didn't have last year apparently

As much as his medical stuff is his ownaffair, I fucking hope its not that - the world went a bit strange when Paul McCartney walked across Abbey Road without wearing shoes, can you imagine what it would be like if Mr Cummings comes back from summer looking different. If it is, at least pre warn Benedict Cummerbatch
 
remember there being some chatter about Cummings delaying a major operation last summer - Peston talks about it here: The truth about Dominic Cummings | ITV News


Cummings had to make a proper sacrifice to take the job; Johnson talked him into cancelling a surgical procedure, serious enough to warrant general anesthetic, which had been scheduled for three days later, when Johnson formally became PM.

He promised his wife, the journalist Mary Wakefield, that he would reschedule the operation for the week following 31 October and only after the op would he then discuss with Johnson what - if any - his future role in government would be.
 
So I was wrong. I'd concluded the 'procedure' was just a story put about before the last election to reassure those worried by his reputation that he'd be gone soon.
