So, we just scrapping the absolutely vital daily update due to this? That in itself is an absolute joke. Despite the fact that it’s manipulated and heavily edited figures, it’s ****ing vital information.
His wife was very ill. He was seriously ill. His child needed an ambulance. His home was so badly targeted, with threats of violence, he had to get out quickly ... ... yet miraculously they're all fine and back at home
Keeping Dominic Cummings in his highly paid job is more important to Boris and Dominic than informing us plebs about some virus or other. Speaks volumes for their priorities. The general public come last every time.
The story is all over the place and completely full of holes. The eyesight test was obviously a fan favourite, but mine was where he told Boris about it whilst they were both ill in bed (which covers him for not telling his boss) but because they were both so ill in bed, neither of them can remember the conversation (which covers Boris for being caught off guard by the story). Despite that though, he's aware that they both spoke about many important things such as vaccines and lockdown.
It's true. No matter how serious this situation it's always good to see politicians squirm when they're caught out in blatant lies. Cummings 'hour long drive, with quarter of an hour by the river, to test his eyes' excuse was a 'sorry sir, the dog ate my homework' effort. It's very poor but I'm sure the PM will repeat it.
Boris' bluster, obfuscation and bullshit will be be put to the test. Can't wait, just wish Kier Starmer could have dissected the tissue of lies.
I have only heard her on the radio recently, had not heard of her until those right wing shootings, when she was oustanding, a proper leader, clear and sensible in all she said, calming a tragic situation with real dignity. NZ are lucky.
As election to PM goes this is one of the quickest falls from grace since Gordon Brown. I don't think he'll go but I don't believe he'll ever fully recover ... .... his frantic bluster just looks a bit contrived now. But if he drops that he has little to fall back on imo.
I have spent a little time dissecting this Downing Street farce, and this is what I believe he actually stated. He drove to Durham from London when his wife felt poorly, but he himself had actually not shown any symptoms whatsoever, so went there just in case he took bad. Even though he is the PMs right hand man, neither him or his wife were ever even tested. The only person tested was the child, where his wife apparently drove the child to hospital at a time when she was suffering from the virus. The child's test was negative. It was more akin to an adult version of Jackanory.
Sky news ‘are you undermining the whole countries effort because you can’t cope without Mr Cummings guidance?’ Boris ‘the one thing I will continue to repeat through all this is that you MUST wash your hands’ Wow. He’s lost the plot
