Surely he does't think hes gonna redeem himself any way.

Maybe. But I think this is cutting through. Mates on social media who aren't normally political are livid about this. Attempts to frame it as a grieving family man or a father dealing with a child with autism make them crosser, because they all know someone whose kid has autism or who lost someone who didn't break the rules.
What the Remain side didn't get in the last few years, but people like Cummings did, was the visceral anger people felt at the unfairness of the idea that a referendum vote could be ignored or overturned. What I think he hasn't realised is he's unleashed a very similar anger in a lot of people. What will come of it politically I don't know, but I don't think it'll be that easily diffused.

But....but cLoWnFiSh....
Where's the appeal to allow "civility in politics" etc?

A significant enough proportion of the public and media find his reasoning acceptable that the issue starts fading away, and can be reframed as the usual lefties cruelly politicising the issue. Critically, no one blames the government/ his actions for the end of lockdown.

one that goes disastrously wrong, turns out he was Dom Cummings all along and they've just ripped his face off.

It does demonstrate that he's much more than just an 'advisor' though. If he was just that he'd resign or just drop out of public view and advise Johnson by the back door. He's clearly involved with running things, sacking people he doesn't like, telling people in the civil service that they can find the door if they don't like what he's doing. Things that couldn't be hidden if he was to resign or be 'disappeared'.

Maybe , but I think most people have made thier minds up either way and this will not change much. I don't do this much but I looked at the Mail online comments out of curiosity and about 25% think its a remainer witch hunt and 75 % were after his blood.
Totally unscientific of course but given the constituency of that website I found it very telling.

Fair play to him...This moment...Right now..None of us know how it'll turn out. A lot to be said around the GOAT of press manipulation having to step up to the ochey.
Come out swinging and blame it on MSM and remainer sleeper agents with obstinate follow ups... Or plead contrition and appeal for sympathy. He's got such form for the former, though the latter is much more expedient for his long term dark goals.

There's literally no-one left to do this I think.
Cabinet ministers - failed
PM - failed
Ah go on Dom, say something outrageous. Remember, the bigger the lie...

His contempt for the press is more than evident from the exchanges I’ve seen him give to the journos camped outside his house. He mentioned something about the press lying to the public about Brexit or something along those lines as to why he should be bothered about their questions.

None of us voted for the fucker. He certainly ain't royalty. On paper he's just another spad. They must be really out of ideas if they think this is their best move. Some people will buy whatever shit he says, but they're definitely a small minority as far as I know.
Utter shitshow.
Utter shitshow.

Sorry if the thread has moved on but because some of the "well he was looking after his child" are now "well of course, his child is ill/disabled/needs extra help (or whatever description they decide) so he absolutely has to travel. Leave him alone"
I've sadly seen it already being used as a conversion stopper on a couple of Facebook threads

Code of conduct for special advisors,
Special advisers must not take public part in political controversy, through any form of statement whether in speeches or letters to the press, or in books, social media, articles or leaflets.
They must observe discretion and express comment with moderation, avoiding personal attacks, and would not normally speak in public for their Minister or the Department.
So that book looks like it's about to be ripped up.

He is (un)officially above the Prime Minister in the pecking order, then, if it's cabinet first, then Johnson, then him? Whatever happens from now on, Johnson fucked himself last night.

He believes he is smart enough to get out of this
He has been chinning off parliamentary summons to go before parliamentary committees/enquiries all year already
guy has contempt for the people he works with as much as the plebs who are just an encumbersnce for his mad futuristic plans
he’s mad as a cut snake, unfortunately he was the data manipulating king who promised them he’d take care of the election (he did)
3/4 of the Tory party don’t even understand what he’s planning/talking about half the time
He needs his Achilles chopped and placed in the longleat lion enclosure, along with his pseudo-mates in the cabinet

Except that people are criticising him, not his child, who doesn't deserve to be used as a shield for his father's actions.
