The Dominic Cummings file

Looking at this in a totally cynical way, I'm sure Labour/Starmer must be secretly hoping Cummings doesn't get sacked or at least they let this drag on a bit longer. It's draining so much political capital. Watching the cabinet all adding their names to support him yesterday hours before the Guardian/Mirror dropped the second bombshell was delicious.
 
Shapps has form for defending the indefensible of course. Here's why he was previously made to resign for those who missed it.

Shapps appointed a man called Mark Clarke to run a Tory youth wing campaign called 'Road Trip'. He admitted Clarke was 'a difficult man but who got results'.

One of these results was the suicide of another young Tory called Elliott Johnson. Johnson was bullied by Clarke, and subsequently left his head and his body separated on a railway line in Sandy, Bedfordshire.

Shapps was made aware of the bullying allegations well before Johnson's death and did nothing about them. For this he eventually resigned 2 months after Johnson's death. He got an £8,000 pay off all the same. He admitted no responsibility but reluctantly said "the buck has to stop somewhere".

He was back in high government less than 4 years later.

Death and misery are nothing to these cunts.
 
Robert Peston is as much of a bluetooth speaker for the government as Laura Kuenssberg these days, but he is well connected so this might be significant:



Over to you, Durham Police...
 
My immediate takeaway from those two interviews was that we are all very lucky they didnt get him to do them naked. He would absolutely have done it.
