It would make Johnson appear to tolerate one rule for his favourite and another for everyone else. Hypocrisy may not be a charge that will trouble the prime minister unduly. What ought to worry him is that he will look weak. Already dogged by persistent suggestions that he is still not back to full health after his encounter with the “invisible mugger”, Johnson looks as if he is so dependent on his adviser that he is prepared to bend the rules to keep him.'' None of the people you mention were politicians, and nor were they people at the heart of government. A large chunk of the Tories have little time for Johnson, let alone Cummings. Really, Johnson did a job for them in winning an election. They've got another 5 years. From a Tory point of view..., who needs Johnson now ? Just asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 It's mad that they've picked this hill to die on, when the arguments don't make any logical sense. Even the likes of Tim Mongomerie and Julia Hartley-Brewer are calling out their bullsh*t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone of those advisors who have stood up alongside the politicans , right from the beginning, have compromised themselves. Yes, it is shameful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer accused of making NHS scapegoat for care home crisis ''Hospital bosses have accused Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer of making the NHS a scapegoat for the Covid-19 crisis in the country’s care homes. Luckily in Scotland the NHS is a devolved issue and its the SNP that were in charge of the care home crisis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The complete silence of Andrew Neil and Fraser Nelson about the biggest political story of the week is quite funny. It's almost as if Cummings' wife has made her bosses look like a right pair of mugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Willingly trashing your credibility for some trampy c**t advisor is quite something. He's a fucking advisor FFS, they're as disposable a thing you'll find in politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 It's laid bare now just how vital Cummings is to the Tory project. They're willing to go live on TV and make themselves look like fools to protect him, in the Trump-like belief that at least 50% of the electorate buys into their ideology and will follow the cult regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being pedantic, but because of FPTP they don’t need anything like 50% of the electorate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, they're right. Politics has become so tribal in the past five years that people don't care if they're right, as long as they're winning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'd be getting back on to the Durham cops and asking why the Government are saying they are lyingThe thing is, from everything I have read, at no point did the police say they had spoke to Cummings directly. Their statement specifically mentioned that they had spoke to the owners of the house he was staying in, which I assume was his patents. More twisting of the facts by the Tory c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, the police said they spoke to the house owners. Edited to add the tweet from Kuntsberg, which is as good as getting it from Cummings himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit desperate if they're claiming that only his wife and son count. Seems they're going full Trump mode, "No I didn't, never said that, never happened, fake news."
