Resignation? Johnson totally misjudged the mood yesterday and he can't come out and sack him today without looking weaker (if that's even possible). I reckon some sort of face saving deal has been done involving DC resigning with a massive sweetener a few months down the line.

 

 

Not a chance.

Never forget that Cummings is not an elected politician. In his mind he answers to nobody, not even the guy who pays his wages. 

He's also got a long history of holding the press and public opinion in contempt, so anyone expecting him to do the honourable thing has got a long wait coming. 

What's interesting is that this is the first time I can remember a SPAD doing his own press conference, and having a Q&A session. Maybe Mandleson or Campbell ? I'm not sure.

We can't be too far away from Dominic Cummings turning up at Downing Street with an alsatian, four blackshirts and some flags. 

FTFY

Johnson managing to take some heat off Trump by making himself, and the UK, the world's biggest laughing stock.

I can't see how doing a Q&A and giving a statement is going to help him in any way.

It's going to be a health condition. It's the only situation I can think of in which it would have been inappropriate for BoJo to comment on.

It's a bit weird. If he was resigning he'd just sneak out the back door, maybe leaving a written statement. Can't see him making a grovelling apology which would be the only thing that could help him.
