I just ask them ‘if this was Jeremy Corbyn would you be sticking up for him like you’re sticking up for Cummings?’ Usually shuts them up.

All true, and who knows how long the party will put up with Johnson?
But...there's been some talk on here about the 50% polling the vermin have racked up...looking like we see how that crumbles back to the norm now.

Was there any news on the A66 upgrade that Shapps was on about the other day?

Don’t normally go with that line, people were saying Max Clifford knee where the bodies were buried and so on. But really what other explanation can there be here?

That the man won Brexit & a 80 maj for him.

He's lost this. That doesn't necessarily mean Johnson will sack him, because Johnson seems so stupid and so married to him that it's a possibility Cummings won't have to go. And part of me even welcomes that, because frankly it's fucking funny watching them all squirm like this and it can only do damage to keep him on. But contrast the Cummings we saw today with the Cummings of 48 hours ago, arrogantly lording it over the press in Islington when he was 100% confident his mate wasn't going to sack him.
Now it's possible that press conference today was 30 minutes late because they spent those 30 minutes drumming it into Cummings "Don't do cocksure, don't do cocksure." But that was one uncomfortable man, picking at his sleeves, looking over his shoulder, mumbling and stumbling over his words. And when he was asked about the possibility of resigning he spent quite a long time delivering words about how that was up to Johnson and out of his hands. He said that bit like he meant it, no longer the assured smirk of "I'm safe." That's definitely how it looked to me.
His personality has taken a big hit over the last 48 hours. Imagine being him tonight. He knows he didn't get away with the eyesight crap and a thousand internet memes are there to testify to it. The media are ripping his story apart. Sky news were openly taking the piss straight after he finished talking. Imagine being him tonight, knowing the world is ripping him apart. It's one thing not to court public favour, quite another to go to bed knowing you've been made to make an arse of yourself (because there was nobody left to take the flak on your behalf) and you are now the story in the most comedic and negative way, having made yourself look worthy of derision and being inadequate. Left to fight for yourself, and flailing around friendless, apart from your mate who is PM, and he's been massively weakened too in his own party and his cabinet you helped create.
I hope the cunt splashes around desperately for a bit longer before he drowns.

You imagine it for us.
Johnson believes he would be totally fucked without him. Maybe he would be, I dunno.

Sorry I made it a rule recently never to converse here with someone who says 'us'. Carry on.

Lol of course his foes a want him out to damage Johnson, the Tories, the govt, conservative election hopes etc.So this is how they are framing it on 'reasonable middle England conservative land'. I reckon now he has done just enough that he and Johnson get to fight another day, mores the pity.
The bottom line is that most of his foes want him out so that Boris Johnson can be weakened, the Conservatives damaged, the Government’s electoral chances set back and EU transition extended.
They shouldn’t succeed, but they could do. For if those poll numbers don’t move, we think that Cummings may walk. We have few illusions here about British politics. Or human nature.
Cummings made a reasonable case yesterday, and his critics should accept it - and move on | Conservative Home
Any fair-minded observer would think better of him at the end of yesterday's press conference than he or she may have done at the beginning.www.conservativehome.com
That's simply stating the bleeding obvious.

Tick tock.
It’s of small beer in the general contexts, and each is free to make their own life choices, but it has to be said: that’s a really really weird rule.

If Jesus could handle crucifixion and rise above it I'm sure out bishops can shake off some unpleasantness on twatter, in a very real sense. Plus they are very forgiving.

What on earth could Cummings have on him that tops what everyone already knows?
Let's not forget his predecessor-but-one was widely believed to have fucked a dead pig's head in the mouth... and stayed in office.

Helping organise a hit on that journalist is a mad one that i cant believe didnt even get mentioned during the election
And his foray into becoming an author, the Seventy Two Virgins book is so openly and repeatedly racist its jawdropping
...doesnt alter your point, just amazed every day that this cunt was elected and remains so popular

I kind of did a double take when he claimed that in the press conference tbh but it was lost in amongst the driving eye test stuff in my head... it just seems unlikely that a political adviser had come out with specific warnings about a pandemic last year without the assistance of a fucking crystal ball - I could believe it if one of the scientific/medical advisers said it, but Cummings claiming it sounded faintly ridiculous tbh.

OK I appreciate the good grace of your reply so I may have been overly concerned there. There's some mad ones about, you know.You twat
Imagine it for all of us on the thread. Say something!
Well...it's great for me, obviously, as a Scots indy supporter. The whole thing apart from the horrific death count and disdain for life and Animal Farmness of the nightmare we are all currently living in is terrible, but I'm only talking on scales that it is comfortable to comment on.
Cummings could win this. Boris has an 80 seat majority, they don't give a fuck about anything, they've cleared out anyone with balls. They've got major supporters with Kuensberg and the rest, they've got the money behind them...so it's really important that cummings goes.
I'm just not sure England is up to it.
It's the worst fucking people at the worst fucking time...what could go wrong? I want him to be wiped from influence, I'm not betting on it...I'm not betting against it. Things are fucked and show no signs of getting less so.
