The Dominic Cummings file

[maomao]

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.

Marr's was finishing his sentences for him, prompting him to describe his parents' house as Cummings' 'primary residence'. Boot licking oxygen thief.

 

[two sheds]

That was excruciating. Truly excruciating. How much longer can Cummings hang on? Today's press conference is going to be dominated by it, probably tomorrow's too. It's not going anywhere.

Is it being shown on any popular entertainment channels I could watch?

Sir Peter give a dog a Bone now on LBC saying the same....

Sir Peter?

Bottomley?

 

[SpookyFrank]

I'd piss myself if a speeding ticket came from the ''second'' journey.

You try driving 250 miles without stopping for a piss while staying under the speed limit.

Sir Peter?

Bottomley?

Bone - though I may have knighted him by mistake...

Unfortunately for this unnamed minister, so few of them defied the instruction that it should be fairly easy for the leadership to identify who they are. Whoops.

I remember him years ago quite aggressively prompting Francis Maude years ago to say he would try and introduce stricter rules (higher turnout thresholds etc) and other things for strike ballots. He is shameless.

Yep, you did, that's why you confused me.

I suspect it's a bogus report. The prospect of a tory minister who is genuinely surprised and disappointed that her colleagues are a bunch of fucking snakes is absurd.

 

[Petcha]

Does anyone know who's fronting today's press conference. Please let it be Priti. She's a liability at the best of times, watching her attempt to navigate this would be brilliant.

Havant watched Marrs for months, very disappointed there wasn't time to ask Shapps about the funding for the A66

you think it's Truss then?

Snapps says the father alerted Durham Police to his sons presence at the house for security issues.

He can't be a very likeable individual if his own Dad dobbed him in

 

[miktheword]

Cummings and ERG (Baker) have history.
This quote was out widely around this time last year,

In an article earlier this year, Cummings said the European Research Group, of which around 80 Tory MPs are members, “should be treated like a metastasising tumour and excised from the UK body politic”.

I hope to god, Buddha and allah that there is. Or someone at his mobile company leaks the records of where his phone was on 19th April...

The Labour MP on Sky was suggesting Johnson should do it tonight but that won't happen. It's a bank holiday weekend, he'll be pissed already.

Worried that the pox-ridden spiv was going to rifle through the Christmas club tin, probably

This government is desperately scrambling around to defend Cummings as if it's a minority government ffs. They have a majority of fucking 80 The story isn't about what Cummings did any more, and TBF,many of us would have been tempted to do that. It's about the cover up and desperate spin , if they had come out with this when it happened, he'd have got some stick , but it would no longer be a story, swallowed up in the tsunami of virus news. Isn't he supposed to be some kind of genius? Shouldn't he have seen this coming ?

 

[cupid_stunt]

This is turning into a good day.

Damian Collins, the Conservative MP for Folkestone and Hythe, said the government would be 'better off without' Cummings.

He said in a tweet: “Dominic Cummings has a track record of believing that the rules don’t apply to him and treating the scrutiny that should come to anyone in a position of authority with contempt.

“The government would be better without him.”

Simon Hoare [Tory MP] said Cummins was 'wounding the Prime Minister and Government'.

My money's on Gove. He's the best bullshitter they've got. There's absolutely no way Boris is going anywhere that podium anytime soon.

Yeah, you do think "he's a very naughty boy" would have bought them a bit more time than "he did nothing wrong".

Still, I guess this is why they're our leaders and we are but simple plebs.

 

[LDC]

Can't be arsed to look into it, where did he stay in Durham? Has he got a second house up there, as most reports say he was staying next to his parents rather than staying with them? Doesn't matter particularly, just interested.

You can see MiShapps gulp hard so many times in that Sky interview.

 

[Kaka Tim]

i dont think cummings' "fuck you" statement to the press yesterday was great media management. still - even a genius can have an off day.

We're up to 7 now, according to The Sun.

Indeed.

He's not a man doing the best by his family, he's not a doting dad, he's not a misunderstood maverick sailing against the wind; he's a privately-educated, thinks-he's-better-than-everyone-else, fuck-the-proles, self-important, self-satisfied, selfish prick, who is so contemptuous for others, so inured to the personal pain or tragedy endured of others, that he only sees this in terms of what best suits him, values only his own opinion, and does only that which he chooses to do and discomforts himself the least.

A whiney, indulged, over-privileged man-baby.

He stayed on their 'estate'.

Shapps said a separate 'property' but I think he's just using property to mean building cause he's thick. It was reputedly an outbuilding.
