    I hope you are right with your prediction of Starmer being elected.
    Even the dumbest of voters can surely see that they have only survived thus far, financially, because the government fell back on Socialist principles.

    Press need to focus on hammering Johnson, nothing more nothing less. Cummings will be gone this week, then it is time to bring out the "biggest and sharpest" of knives.

    Dominic Scummings to make a statement later. If it doesn't include the words "sorry" and "resign" then he can take his statement and shove it up his arse.

    “Dear Peasants

    I’m really not sorry about what I did and I have no intention to resign. Go fnck yourselves.

    ****ing outrageous that hes allowed to speak to the press.

    Just why is he allowed to wield so much power over the country?

    For all the Brexit voters that complained about unelected politicians, how can they possibly justify this?

    Just saw this on a billboard in Kentish Town, NW London. Don’t know who is responsible (Lions LED By Donkeys would be my guess)

    I have a theory, as yet unproven, that Johnson was nominated for the leadership of the so-called Tory party, in the event that he would fall on his fat face. Whilst Johnson may not have many friends across the country, he has even less inside the Parliamentary Tory party. There must be many backbenchers rubbing their hands with glee to see his downfall.

    How does that happen? Johnson chooses to stick with Cummings, his backbenchers withdraw support for the Immigration Bill and Agricultura Bill until Cummings is gone.
    With Cummings gone, Johnson's tenure on Office will be considerably weakened as his backbenchers realise they can use their power to shape future policies.

    And with the Telegraph leaning towards the view that the Brexit transition period needs extending, Johnson looks to be a lame duck.

    Not so much lame as plucked, gutted, trussed and stuffed, in preparation for the oven, aka The Tory Party Conference

    Cummings on the TV now, I can't watch due to damage control by Mrs Jab. Keeping up with BBC news online whilst listening to Craig Charles spinning tunes on music. There'll be plenty of coverage later. I'll get the short highlights.

    Don't think he or Spaffer realise the amount of anger in their utter contempt for the public.
    But loads of people, apparently, breaking lockdown and police have little chance to contain them. Just what they wanted ..... :emoticon-0121-angry

    I just heard that A&E at Weston-super-Mare General Hospital has closed due to the rising number of Covid-19 cases. The example set by Scummings can only make this kind of situation worse and more widespread.

    Prepare for the second wave folks.
