    I've a thought on why Dominic Cummings didn't supply the evidence of his claims, and it should be kept in mind, I can't even stand the guy when I say this, so it's just a subjective opinion.

    He was not an MP, I assume he was but a mere well paid employee. He had access to many a private and confidential email and various other forms of government communication. I would assume he signed a contract on his employment, and I don't know if his role, requires him to sign some form of official secrets act.

    If so, then to supply the evidence he could place himself in a position where he may come under some form of legal action. That action for all I know could mean he may be subject to arrest, which in turn would lead to his property being searched. Would you really want to put yourself through that to score points.

    Unless of course you are an honest, upstanding, law abiding citizen. And considering he's already admitted he lied over Barnard, before the ball even gets rolling, he's already created doubt about his integrity, as he did when he faced the press in the back garden of Downing St.

    He’s bright enough to have kept his receipts imo. He’s waited until Hancock has had his say today and will now nail him as having further lied by producing the evidence he has to back his claims, is how I see it panning out.

    I was actually thinking that later today, after watching a catch up on the news. Albeit I still think Cummings could be putting himself on dodgy ground.

    Maybe so, but it's all well and good Cummings strutting in and saying look at what i've got. But like any employee we sign contracts, and within government, I'd imagine someone like Cummings should not be still holding onto government confidential documents, whether that be emails or anything else.

    Found this, which sort of supports what I'm suggesting.... https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/d...cache-may-breach-official-secrets-act-1019282

    Quote:
    He has already tweeted part of a document marked “official sensitive”, about a secret Government operation called “Exercise Nimbus” which, Mr Cummings said, modelled more than 800,000 deaths.

    Whitehall sources say that serving and former civil servants, including special advisers, are bound by the 1989 act and can commit an offence if they make disclosures that are made “without lawful authority” and are “damaging”.

    Government lawyers are expected to watch the hearing, and pore over any documents released by Mr Cummings or the committee, to see if a breach has been committed.

    Public interest and the laws on whistle blowing trumps confidentiality clauses in this context imo. If he makes documents that prove his position available to the select committee i.e. he proves a serving cabinet minister has lied, both at the time and now in his testimony at select committee, then the idea that he’d realistically be prosecuted for proving his own testimony is for the birds imo mate.

    I’ve just looked at his twitter account and he’s saying tonight that he’s going to release the kraken lol. Hancock is a lying ****ing snake anyway, him having the temerity to claim there was no shortage of PPE last year, and that there’s no evidence that NHS and Care staff contracted COVID and died as a result of it, is a ****ing insult to the intelligence and the families of those who did. As much as I can’t stand Cummings, I hope he burns that **** at the stake. Let’s see if he’s actually got what he claims he has, could get juicy tbh

    I've not problem with any of that, as long has the law ensure they see everything that Cummings has, ie turning his gaf over and accessing his phone records via the telecom companies. If he wants to spill the beans then it has to go the whole hog, including looking at anything underhand he did.

    I agree mate, he’s claimed he was the voice of reason in terms of the initial lockdown timing etc and if he’s lying in that regard, then he too should take his medicine. Albeit, he wasn’t a serving member of the Govt and ultimately the decisions didn’t sit with him, however equally wrong he may have been, the buck stops with those in the executive in terms of the law. His opinions whatever they actually were, are just that, opinions. He knows this.
