The Dominic Cummings file

I can't see Gove ever getting the top job. He's capable in a way that very few of his current colleagues are, and he's ruthless. But he's just so fundamentally dislikeable.

I know what you mean, and tbh I've never been able to decide if he wants it or not. Power behind the throne seems to be his preferred position, much like Cummings. I'm sure he's scheming something but far from convinced that 'something' is to become PM himself. But if he's not after it for himself, then who? e2a - and for them to do what with it?

By the sounds of things him and Johnson have had quite the bust-up and I can't see Cummings being the kind to forgive and forget, but I reckon your second hypothesis might be spot on...

I'm a bit doubtful of how deep the bust up is tbh, theres a lot of arse slinging from journalists but its all behind close doors.

Difficult to be certain of anything with this lot, isn't it?!

However, if it was something stage-managed I'd have expected it to get out through their usual friendly journos, but the news seemed completely uncontrolled this time, and even journalists they presumably hate like Pippa Crerar were tweeting about it all at once. That makes me think it's genuine.
 
The commentary on this today is really weird - everyone's talking like he's confirmed he's definitely going this year, when all he did was give Kuenssberg a really vague and not at all definite hint that he might be going last night. Have I missed something more concrete today? :confused:

Perhaps :)
 
I wonder how much influence Symonds has over Bojo - is she the one in the background driving this?
None of it is about personality clashes or Carrie Symonds. It's just about people whose careers depend on being adored by the Tory right washing their hands of the impending Brexit humiliation they are responsible for.

He didn't leave when he got caught breaking the rules and had to make a ridiculous speech on telly to "the nation". What is it we're supposed to believe? His mate got sacked or something? Jimmy fucking Hill.
It's that his mate didn't get promoted. Oh and also Allegra fancies Rishi, or something.
