The Dominic Cummings file

Hancock's fucked then if DC has something tucked away

I don't suppose he has though, most of what DC said is probably true, or thereabouts, but I imagine that this chaotic crew didn't really go for minuted meetings, more just yelling vague ideas about the place. Most companies I deal with seem to adopt the working styles of the boss, no reason why #10 should be any different.

Let's hope for secret recordings then

After being told to believe him and everything he says during the eye-testing debacle we are now told not to believe anything he says because he is a scoundrel.

Government acted unlawfully over firm's £560,000 Covid contract

A judge criticises the awarding of work to a firm run by former colleagues of Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings.

www.bbc.co.uk

The High Court has found the government acted unlawfully when it gave a contract worth £560,000 to a company run by friends of the prime minister's former chief adviser, Dominic Cummings.
Ministers have denied any favouritism was shown towards the market research agency Public First.
But the judge decided a failure to consider other firms meant there was "real danger" of bias.
Public First looked into public understanding of coronavirus.
Campaigners took legal action against the Cabinet Office over the decision to use the company, following the start of the pandemic in March last year, and questioned the involvement of Mr Cummings.
Lawyers for the Good Law Project argued that he wanted focus group and communications support services work to be given to a firm whose bosses were his friends.
The government, and Mr Cummings - who left Downing Street last autumn - disputed the claim.
Delivering her ruling, Mrs Justice O'Farrell said: "The claimant is entitled to a declaration that the decision of 5 June 2020 to award the contract to Public First gave rise to apparent bias and was unlawful."

This is potentially interesting. It may be possible (as speculated in the replies below) that Cummings has waited for Hancock to bullshit his way through the select committee before he releases any actual evidence. We'll just have to wait and see....

Hes no better than Tommy fucking Robinson, a right wing grifter.

But if he's got the dirt...then the enemy of my enemy is a useful chap to develop a sudden urge to spread said dirt...

 

[not-bono-ever]

Cummings is too smart to try to bluff I think. Or he should be too smart to bluff anyway

 

[MrSki]

Hancock was in front of a Select Committee today so maybe he is waiting until he has lied some more before spilling the evidence. Hope so anyhow.

 

[weltweit]

Cummings is scum, I suppose in that he is now anti the Tories some may see him as an ally, given that the enemy of my enemy might be my friend. But he is still the self serving scum he always was.

Just because he tells everyone that he's smart doesn't mean that he is. The fact that he conned Gove and Johnson into believing his boasts, says more about them than it does about Cummings.

 

[brogdale]

I pretty sure that he's the sort of malevolent narcissist that keeps records and/or recordings.

Malevolent narcissism to you, common-sense to me.

"Simple common-sense", as you said to me on 3rd February 2019.

Leaked text messages: Boris Johnson called Matt Hancock 'totally f***** hopeless' - CityAM

Boris Johnson described Matt Hancock’s performance when it came to mass testing in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic as “totally f****** hopeless”, Dominic Cummings has claimed.

All well and Leaked text messages: Boris Johnson called Matt Hancock 'totally f***** hopeless' - CityAM D but weren't you supposed to give supporting documentation to the joint committee Mr Cummungs

He wants to pick and choose the screenshots because whole chat logs would no doubt be incriminating to him.

 

[maomao]

Anyway, verbally agreeing with a disgruntled employee's opinion of another employee while committing to nothing in terms of remedying the situation is standard management. I don't think that screenshot is the smoking gun Cummings thinks it is.

Pretty sure we've established that his vision is different to the rest of us

Agreed, but No 10 will want these screen grabs like a hole in the head. Stuff like this about Hancock & others has the potential to make Johnson's case/defence in any enquiry harder to establish:

God I hate Blackford (Angus Roberson was good). I for one welcome the fact that under Matt Hanckock the response wasn't to paint a ross on the door and nail it shut (thorugh gritted teeth)

Whatever, Blackford's was the only question about Cummings' claims.

My mistake its Justine Madders calling this worst ever pandemic. Took me a while to find Blackford's question, (din't see PMQ's) he got a reasonable write up PMQs Sketch: Sir Keir Starmer misses an open goal as Dominic Cummings passes him the ball

Why does lots loathe Cummings? He ain’t a Tory by any measure.

Gove is still at it the cunt.
His long game is looking a bit more hopeful for him.
The cunt.
They’re all cunts virtually equally, the ones who voted remain are slightly less cuntish than the rest, but only by a factor of about 0.0002 percent. Like lexiters.
What’s slightly diverting is watching the cunts wondering and fearing what else Cummings has got.

 

[Raheem]

Must say, Cummings is doing a great job of proving his thesis that Prime Ministers would be much better off by swapping civil servants for big-brained guns for hire.
