The Dominic Cummings file

[agricola]

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.

watching it again, Marr does introduce Shapps by telling us all a load of things "that we know" that we do not in fact know - including that he and his wife actually had it

 

[platinumsage]

Does anyone know where the Prime Minster is? He seems to appear once a week for PMQs and then vanish.

 

[killer b]

He's already in contempt of parliament,

I think for most people, this is in the 'positives' column.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Who at The Spectator knew that Wakefield and Cummings weren't in London for the entirety of the period about which she wrote and subsequently filed copy on? Were awkward details edited out? Were there any phone calls to non-London area code land lines?

Apart from lip service to IPSO does Fraser Nelson believe that his writers - who “have no party line; their only allegiance is to clarity of thought, elegance of expression and independence of opinion” - owe it to readers of the magazine (motto: “firm, but unfair”) to be truthful and honest?

The story also changed from when "He said he and his partner were concerned about who would look after their son if they both fell ill. " after they clearly realized this would let people know he wasn't bothered about putting his parents at risk.

What time is the press conference tonight? This is going to be unmissable.

If he doesn't jump in the next ten hours they'll try and Trump it out. That would be fucking hilarious. But it won't work this time. People have lost loved ones and families have been ripped apart. I've kept two under fives in a house for two and a half months and we don't know when we'll be able to see any of their grandparents again. Whatever they do it won't be enough. Public hanging.

A public hanging would like having another Cheltenham festival and push R into double-digits. He should be beheaded on Zoom by an executioner recruited and trained by Serco.

Hiding in a fridge somewhere.

Been ill and has a new baby - it has been widely reported !

Probably in the drinks cabinet. It's a bank holiday weekend. He won't show his face. Only get himself in more trouble if he did to be honest.

 

[polly]

Cummings just been called into no 10 according to twitter

 

[teqniq]

It's enough, surely, that he breached the government's own rules?
Those who presume to shape the law/guidance for the rest of us can expect to be held to the standards they demand of others.
IMO, it's that simple.

Under normal circumstances I would agree. The new normal however is that they openly treat us with complete contempt. I would of course hope that this changes sooner rather than later.

 

[cyril_smear]

Love a good bit of scandal.

 

[Ted Striker]

Might the second trip might be a red herring? Possibly by stooges that will eventually be proven false, thus discrediting the whole debate?

 

[Shirl]

We have the most vile Tory MP you can imagine. He's just said on Twitter that DC's position is untenable. I never imagined that I would ever, ever 'like' a post of Craig Whittaker's.

[Ceej]

There's interweb mutterings about a third jaunt on 10th May...

 

[Supine]

So, Dom is currently in #10...

tic tock

 

[brogdale]

Interesting that backwoodsmen like Ellwood are already signalling how damaging for Johnson Cummings dismissal is.

Confirmed by Sky News too.

Yeah, but that would credit this lot with more organisational ability and guile than they've demonstrated so far...

 

[DaveCinzano]

Been wearing his ‘IN GOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS WE MONITOR’ lanyard a lot recently.






Definitely not a hubristic, FUCK YOU mentality smug cunt.

 

[brogdale]

Maybe called into No 10 for a Knighthood like Major Tom?

 

[DaveCinzano]

He should be beheaded on Zoom by an executioner recruited and trained by Serco.

It would be entirely appropriate that the training manual would contain innumerable errors, contradictory guidance and outdated, misunderstood data that let to a botched first attempt

Yep a formal address from Johnson will clear it all up. The last one went well.

Selected for the next Space Mission like Major Tom?

Love it that Ellwood was calling not just a formal address but a FORMAL ADDRESS!

 

[dylanredefined]

If he goes. Does that mean Boris has too think for himself?
Ignoring quarantine rules while infected?
In a movie he would get shot

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Selected for the next Space Mission like Major Tom?

Hopefully fired into space by cannon

 

[cupid_stunt]

I was wondering earlier, if he would go today or tomorrow, but I think it'll be this afternoon now.

Pressure is mounting:

Dominic Cummings arrives at Number 10 as pressure mounts on him to quit

Boris Johnson's chief advisor left his home this morning, heading to Downing Street as Tory MPs demanded his resignation over lockdown flouting

www.mirror.co.uk

If Dominic Cummings is not sacked, Boris Johnson’s government will lose all remaining credibility

A weary public will not forgive the egregious hypocrisy of the Prime Minister’s chief strategist.
