Good point, wish I had thought of all that, let me send Covid-19 a memo to take the bank holiday weekend off...

Well it's certainly exceptional to be unable to look after a child yet clearly be able to drive a car 250+ miles on a 5+ hour journey.

I hear he's been spotted at Currys...

Any defense of Cummings here is clutching at straws. He is a hypocrite, and those defending him are also hypocrites. He is a highly paid government official. He could have paid for his child to be transported anywhere. And he didn't just merely go and drop the child off. He was seen playing with the child in his parent's back garden. He did all this knowing he had the virus. Not only did he break the rules, he put his parents at risk. This is a man that sits in on SAGE meetings for goodness sake. He is a control freak and Johnson is so reliant on him that he can not get rid of him. You have to ask, just who is the real PM?

It?s all getting a bit Animal Farm


So it?s hardly surprising that people are not following the rules, because you have a government who themselves won?t follow the guidelines. Johnson has a track record of doing what the f he wants, leaning into the boundaries of what?s right and wrong, he?s surrounded himself with similar enabling people.


It?s similar across the pond, only we?re a bit more Dads Army about it, look at track & trace, it?s miles too late and still chaotic.


And where?s the R rate right now?

I went to the post office on the 14th April because I needed a proof of posting. I was appalled at the lack of social distancing and the pavements were more crammed than on a Saturday....so yet again the Reds of ED are ONLY picking out the Tories- let me remind you that Boris has an 80 seat majority....he has done Brexit....and the whole world is in the midst of a pandemic because of the dishonesty of China and the collusion of the WHO....btw- the brilliant film Contagion is on Netflix- I suggest you all watch it and be grateful that covid 19 is not worse than it is....

".he has done Brexit." well - we are out of the EU legally


But we aren't in practice because we are in an extendted transition. A transition which will need to be extended again by at least 1 year


beacuse a) brexit was and remains a ludicrous idea in practice and b) should he decline an extension he will be responsible for the break up of the UK, damage british countries for at least a decade and in the middle of a pandemeic likely cause the deaths of many more people unnecessarily as supply chains get knocked to smithereens. He has already thrown NI unionists under the bus - fishermen and farmers are next


YOu can remind me of his majority all you like but he was up against Corbyn so what could anyone expect. And just a reminder that Blair and his involvement in Iraq was widely condemned afterwards but was supported by 2/3rds of the country for a while - so quoting maths and majorities is meaningless when faced with a changing world

Ah yes, the 'oven ready' Brexit that is currently festering away

Even with an extension and subsequent deal, there will still have to be a border based on what was signed up to last year, so the break-up of the UK, and in particular a future united Ireland, is looking very likely...

I was surprised by yesterday's organised cabinet campaign to big-up Dom. Why go to such lengths and potentially put the brakes on your own career, for someone who is generally not liked and is no more than an unelected advisor. Of course he was a key part of the leave campaign and Johnson's election, but he's still very easily expendable, especially to someone like Johnson who doesn't do loyalty.

Sooooooo, it does rather beg the questions that conservative writer Peter Oborne is now asking...


This political crisis is no longer about the wretched Cummings. It is about Johnson and, in particular, why the prime minister hasn't sacked him. Is it because he knew Cummings was going to Durham, gave the green light, and therefore authorised a breach of the lockdown rules?


If so, it's a big deal, a really big deal...

Been reading comments in the Sun


Over 50% Cummings out


A few saying great lockdown is over


Or that Covid-19 a hoax


Or that this is just romoaners, they lost, Boris and Dom to lead us to the sunlit uplands


Interesting measure of popular opinion


With regards to the Tweet the investigation will be like Murder on the Orient Express, but rather than a dozen assassins all with good cause there will be 10,000s of suspects.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
