Dominic Cummings

[JohnL]

There must be a previous thread but he's walked out of Downing Street with a box of his belongings and he won't be coming back

Hurray Hurray Hurray :)

Will Boris now become the PM he was always meant to be and save the country from Coronavirus and Brexit.

[KidKruger]

Nope.

He's a bellend.

Like Cummings.

[Sue]

Thank you JohnL, hadn't yet heard.

A few rays of light in the darkness lately ☀️☀️☀️

Hope it's not a charade of some kind. Guess we'll see.

"Will Boris now become the PM he was always meant to be and save the country from Coronavirus and Brexit."

No - he won't. He can't

Because brexit never was and never will be a circle that can be squared

He signs a (thin) deal with EU? Country is worse off than now AND ERG headbangers will do for him

He leaves without a deal? - Country is banjaxed and sane people with do for him

Whichever way he jumps... he is done for. Because that Brexit chicken is about to land for real

[diable rouge]

No 10 source say No 10 source has resigned. Too late, damage is done and there's more on the way, yet he gets to slope off while the rest of us pick up the pieces of his political anarchy games...

[malumbu]

Damn, beaten to it, was planning to post a thread "Cummings leaving card" to allow people to post nice things like "good riddance" (or things much stronger)

The plagiarise something that I have been shown - Trump going, a Covid vaccine and now comings gone - a good week

Otherwise still think we are fcked but one less thing to pee me off. wonder what middle England, and the Midlands, NE and NW Blue wall think.

[SpringTime]

Maybe he'll move back to Russia and work for Aleksandr Dugin. Not all roads lead to Cummings though. Good things can still happen.

With a pay off of any kind?

Good question!

[malumbu]

Disappointed that I could not find any funny vids on Cummings leaving so this will have to do, second risque one of the day and worth seeing the following goodbye vids - a bit sickening

 

[Seabag]

Boris gone by March

Brexit scab continues to poison the political bloodstream

Cummings and his ilk lay under a rock

The will of the people ?done?

[JohnL]

Oh.. I was being sarcastic about Boris saving us from Brexit/Covid. I hope it's the beginning of a change of direction though.

[diable rouge]

Unsurprisingly we're getting conflicting accounts of what led up to Cummings' walk-out, difficult to decide who's telling the truth when both are pathological liars. Cummings leaving by the front door is interesting though, there are more private ways to leave No. 10, so he obviously wanted to be seen and seems to be gearing up for a public spat with Johnson, get stocking-up on the popcorn!

This 'leaving' video has some scarily apt music...

[siousxiesue]

His style is totally back door exit, so I'm presuming it was a deliberate ploy to throw us off the scent of something else, what are they trying to hide this time?

Yes ss I was just thinking this is not what it seems.

[diable rouge]

And what was in the box? Apparently he works at 70 Whitehall, so it wasn't his mug, some stash from the stationary cupboard, or his signed photo of Darth Vader...

[nxjen]

I hope he hasn?t kidnapped Larry

Cummings will not disappear into the sunset. Odds are he will link up with Gove again and Boris will be toast.

Covid messed up Boris's grey matter and to make matters worse he is getting in the neck from Carrie and Graham Brady. He's on borrowed time.

Meanwhile Cummings is sharpening the knife for Gove to use at an opportune moment. That will be around Feb/March 2021 when the Brexit/covid/economic pain peaks.

[Blah Blah]

I wouldn't be so sure about Boris. He won an election with an 80 seat majority and that makes him very difficult to oust. And while I agree that Cummings has not gone for long, I doubt Gove would win any leadership election against Sunak. I think Farage will be more of a problem to be honest, but there are no elections in sight, so who cares?

[nxjen]

Isn?t it possible though that Johnson could be ousted with a vote of no confidence from MP?s within his own party initiating a leadership contest? By all accounts, Cummings is loathed by MPs so it?s unlikely that a known associate of Cummings i.e. Gove would be chosen. The prospect of a Farage/Cummings partnership is horrifying but I wonder if that?s behind the renamed Reform Party?

[Sephiroth]

As for new tory leader, who MPs like or don?t like is beside the point. The leader will be chosen by the wingnuts of the membership

Johnson will be gone in weeks. His majority has nothing to do with it. He is manifestly ill suited to the job. Clearly doesn?t enjoy it. And within days will have to make the decision the country has avoided for 4 years. And when he makes that decision, events will take over and he will be gone.

Then, with the effects of that decision unfolding next year, the mood of the nation will darken considerably. I would not bet on there being no election for 3 or 4 years

Even without the effects of brexit, we will have a party which will have had 4 leaders in 4 years, with no discernible taken near the cabinet. I don?t think that?s sustainable until 2024

[nxjen]

?As for new tory leader, who MPs like or don?t like is beside the point. The leader will be chosen by the wingnuts of the membership?

It is though through last men standing series of votes by MPs that defines the final shortlist of two that is then presented to the general membership: would Gove and his associate Cummings make this shortlist?

[Sephiroth]

This is most recent I could find. But it?s from summer. Which is like aeons ago
