I see stuff like Cummimgs needing to be the trend due to this. That opens up all sorts of conspiracies into the freedom of what we can see online. I've read it's because cum is blocked, in the same way scunthorpe won't be allowed to trend. On topic, his story has changed a fair bit since last night, almost as if someone has checked the guidelines and his story's facts need to fit what was allowed. And nothing they've said addresses the fact that his wife and he both wrote about their lockdown experiences, neither of which mentioned the drive to Durham, and gave the impression they were in London the whole time.

Marshmallo Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The Mirror saying he made the same journey a second time. I reckon that's only been leaked because they've seen the strength of public opinion. He'll be gone in the next couple of days in a showy gesture before being brought back in a few weeks time. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Pippa Crerar's skill level in holding that article back in order to give the government rope is absolutely top notch.It was a cert there was more to come, which makes it all the more baffling at quite how many ministers have jumped in right away.Did the Calderwood story not begin with one trip before the second one was revealed at a later point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Cummings has Calderwooded himself - released a statement only to omit a crucial detail and be called out on it. Classic Dom. Hope the cabinet is happy having NG set their collective reputations on fire to give Cummings 8 hours for another allegation. His Mrs should be sacked for her lies in The Spectator as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I suspect that Cummings and the government are just going to deny the second article as lies. They've already accused the police of being liars so calling journalists liars isn't exactly a jump. And all the Tory lovers will lap it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Wonder if the eye witnesses passed on any photographs that the Mirror/Guardian are holding back...Without photos, and if there are no other revelations to follow, they're dampening their own story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge critic of the right-wing press, but it's only fair to point out that The Telegraph...the in-house Tory gazette....has the Cummings story as its main headline. Including the 2nd revelations. If they continue in this vein, Cummings is dead in the water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every single minister has leapt to his defense - if they punt him now, it'll look bad on them. The only way I can see out of it is if Cummings resigns but still doesn't admit defeat and states that he's resigning to allow the govt to focus on the real issues instead of being harassed with nonsense or some such patter that will be a ridiculous attempt to save face. Even then, I can't see Cummings doing that - He seems the type that'd rather bring them all down with him. Therefore, deny, deny, deny seems to be the logical (And embarrassing) option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made too many enemies in the traditional high heid yin class, the traditional gentlemen's club fraternity aren't happy, even if the wide boy hedge funders and the likes of Rees Mogg are.
