"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

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.

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...

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?

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.

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?

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?

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

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?

      GALA 2025

      By fishboy · Posted

      My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...

      Tate Modern eateries suggestions

      By PeckhamNicola · Posted

      Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.

      If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
