You need shorter odds, as with these ones everyone is a winner! (which we aren't, sadly).


Alternatively open a book on excuses that will be given for Cummings. I think mine would be "sorry for Dom, but what you need to understand is he is a complete twot" (odds on) (others can probably put this in a more eloquent way)

I don't think it is stage managed - Boris headed off the DC situation but still EVERY journalist asked about it thereby wasting any useful questions (if they ever have any).


I live apart from my family and thought about what I would do if I was DC with a four year old child....I would have done the same thing. I did see a tweet from someone who said that if they had both got ill they could have put the child in the care of social services....

as if they haven't got enough to do


Any better suggestions? My daughter said they could have got an agency nanny in- (hopefully one that had already had the virus I suppose).....

Johnson 'headed off the DC situation' by dodging questions, here's some of the 'useful' ones he swerved...


-What did PM know and when?

-Did DC stop en route?

-Did he go to Barnard Castle?

-How can "self isolation" possibly cohere with long-distance travel?

-Did his child receive childcare?

-How can it possibly be said that DC's actions "suppressed the virus"?


The ruse they've come up with to play the sympathy card is childcare, something he could've easily got in London where they have close family, and I'm sure even Cummings has a network of close neighbours/friends in London who would've taken the child in had they both become ill and incapacitated. Ditto help with shopping etc. His wife could've easily self-isolated in their house, e.g. stay in a bedroom, probably even have her own bathroom facilities judging by the size of the house, safely away from other family members. Far less risk than driving for 5 hours in a confined space subjecting Cummings and the child to Covid viral overload. These are all things the rest of us have been doing in order to adhere to the 'Stay Home' policy...

Suffering with eyesight problems, would you have willingly driven a car for over an hour with your wife and young child as passengers?...

Drank the Kool-aid it seems. Deluded.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
