mmm if this latest news that Dominic Cummings is correct then I think he should resign. Yesterday the lefty newspapers played a blinder by release the news in two parts. The Guardian has spent months on a witch hunt and they will probably get their pound of flesh? However all this cr2p is raking the attention off the more serious issues and Is not needed.

Those who have adhered to the lockdown in far tougher circumstances, missing out on final goodbyes to loved ones and looking after multiple kids with special needs while sick, deserve to have it not just fizzle out.

If these pictures are authentic then he should resign.
You know what will happen Watford... he will only shift departments and advise behind closed doors. I’m sure the Guardian reporters will be following him around for a few months more.

Of course. He’s not just going to go away. The more important long term goal is to demonstrate just what patsies our most senior politicians are, making themselves look utter mugs for an unelected bureaucrat (not the sort of unelected bureaucrat we pretend to hate in the name of Brexit. The other type of unelected bureaucrat.)

I doubt the plan was even to have the likes of Braverman join in with this. They’ve managed that all on their own. The lot of them deserve to be blindfolded and shot in the back of the head.
 
Point 1 from Steve is also damaging. He is still closely linked with the ERG and they supported Boris. A lot of Tories never/don’t like Cummings so after this I think he will fall on his sword. Boris will move him to EU negotiations and future election adviser.
 
If you defend Cummings over this you seriously need to give your head a wobble in his position it’s indefensible and the knots people are getting themselves into is frankly embarrassing, all you have to do when defending him is asking would your defence be the same if it had been Diane Abbott. The honest answer will be no so....

Yeah but it’s distracting from all the important stuff like the Russia report and continent-leading death toll which is now a bad thing whereas it was a good thing when it was the likes of Ferguson.

Greece opening up for tourism soon but not to the countries still ravaged by Corona. Clearly Greece has an agenda against the Tories.

They really do need to move swiftly on this one. The longer it drags, the more damaging it will be for them. Also the fact that they totally contradict the Durham constabulary is quite alarming.

I don’t know what’s worse the idiots that create this lefty rubbish or the imbeciles that like it and believe it? You can see why people don’t believe a lot of stuff that comes out.

Is it because they want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend they haven’t been duped into voting to be poorer by spivs working on behalf of disaster capitalists?
