LOCKDOWN

I’m sure that some will claim that the death of Cummings own uncle from coronavirus a few weeks after this occurred is merely a coincidence. It could well be. It might not be.

If he was to be sacked though, it begs the question - who will run the country?

Watching the Downing Street Briefing and unbelievably Grant Shapps is literally changing government guidance to justify Dominic Cummings's actions. Incredible stuff, even for this shambolic and shameful Administration.

I think they thought sending Grant Shaps out there to tell us all about spending loads more money,we haven’t got, to prop up a public transport, we’re being discouraged from using, would take everyone’s mind off Cummings. Or maybe not. Poor old Grant fed to the lions as Boris hid behind his sofa til the nasty virus has gone away.

Got to admit he's got to go now the spin coming out is pathetic to say the least

Loved that reporter criticising Cummins while almost putting his head in his car. The scoop is worth more than catching the virus.

Rumour hmm

Multiple sightings of Cummings in Durham in late April, several weeks after he had finished his ‘self-isolating’ and returned to Downing Street. No doubt Tory lickspittles will be lining up in the Press and elsewhere to defend him.

So they catch him out good. Who replaces him more of the same I guess.it won't alter the majority because he is not an m p. They will still do what they want for the next 3 and ahalf years.next comes no deal brexit. Then everybody's taxes up to pay back furlough money.thats what all mps do don't you know.

The problem with the Cummings situation now is that the government has once again backed itself into a corner. Boris can’t sack him after his government colleagues have come out publicly to say he’s done nothing wrong. So the only way out is for Cummings to do the honourable thing and fall on his sword, and that isn’t gonna happen. But look on the bright side Boris will probably be upgrading Sir Colonel Tom to Field Marshall or Admiral of the Fleet by the end of the day, that should take everyone’s mind off the latest fuck up.

I don't get how anyone can be anything but furious about this episode. Put aside whether you voted Labour or Tory, whether you're Leave or Remain or whatever, I would be absolutely livid if someone I voted for was behaving like this, and the party and PM fronting it were lying and trying to brush it under the carpet. I would say we should take it to the streets but that would be stooping to Cummins' level.

There's no shame in admitting you regret how you voted and are disappointed with how it turned out. I'll start if you like - I voted Lib Dem in 2009, and I've never forgiven myself. They don't represent me and never have. I just thought it was a way of telling the two main parties that I didn't like either of them and objected to the Iraq War, and I didn't think it would make any difference anyway. I was poorly informed about what the Lib Dems represented and what happens in the event of a hung parliament, and in effect I helped set up what's happened over the last decade.

Boris and his cronies should only appeal to a small fringe of far-right, ultra-rich elitists. Somehow he's got ordinary rational people on his side, and even when the indefensible happens, all we get from them is "well, all politicians lie" or "he's the lesser of two evils". It's so frustrating.

Reading back the Attorney General’s tweet in support of Cummings it essentially says the law doesn’t matter when it comes to protecting your family. Essentially, any right-minded parent can therefore choose to keep their children out of school without repercussion if the government are ploughing ahead with the mass reopening of schools next week.

They’re both key workers, what do you want?
