Agree Steve Baker made it clear that he didn't like Cummings but said he was 'brilliant' in some areas but always leaves 'collateral damage'. I really like Steve Baker and he talks a lot of sense.
The Guardian reporter on the news last night was virtually in tears"I have never been so angered.
All-day It has made me feel so sick that Cummings went to Durham
She really milked it.
What I did like about Cummings, apart from his effective work delivering Brexit, was his purge of the jobsworths in the civil service. Promotion always appears to be buggin's turn regardless of merit. It needed a good clean out to sort the good from the bad. I really hope that work doesn't stop if Cummins goes. Of course, Cummins may do a Peter Mandelson - go and come back shortly
Breaking News: The man that says he saw Dominic Cummings was out for a walk and said he saw a man that resembled DC. He then thought he should take his License plate number. Luckily 
he had binoculars and managed to record it. He then researched the number and contacted the newspaper.

Does that include mosques where the suicide bombers came from?

He must have had police contacts surely to be able to research ownership of cars by number plates? I don't think that info is available to Joe Public
I think regardless of whether he was there a 2nd time is irrelevant. He broke the rules and guidelines and his own slogan.
Agree if he resigns he will be moved around and end up doing something similar.
I posted recently that the Guardian was accused of a 'witch hunt' over Cummings. They have been waiting for him to make a mistake and it may look like he has? Probably best for him to go as it's overshadowing the main issues that need discussing.
Yes, it's about the public really, and also whether a rump of Tory MP's will cause trouble for Boris if Cummings stays and continues to be a main negative story.
Can you imagine PMQs if he stays? Even if he goes, people won't drop it. It will keep being used against the PM.
He said he couldn't find the owner on the internet so he contacted the newspaper? The funny bit was he said he saw him from a distance and it 'looked like DC because of the scruffy look'
Lucky he had the binoculars with him! I would like to know how he managed to be where he was when his own home was some way away? mmm seems suspect?

What's the betting he just happens to be a Labour Councillor!
Agree. He is an ex chemistry teacher I believe. He said he was 'out with his binocular's and 'takes notes of things'. He wasn't satisfied when he couldn't get the number up so he contacted the Guardian and the Mirror (surprise surprise). He wouldn't rest until he knows who owns the car! He should work for Mi6 or the papers?
This didn’t require some great investigative work. People were tweeting about him being around Durham weeks ago.
Does it matter if he is? Honestly you ****s are mental trying to find an angle on this.
Yes, it does because he's asking the public to believe he really saw Cummings. It goes to credibility.
I bet an APB went out to all activists in the Durham area to watch out for Cummings. That's why the bloke had binoculars... or may have been a perv?
