Dominic Cummings is Musk's informer

482 replies

It's been revealed in multiple media sources after much speculation that Dominic Cummings has been whatsapping Musk with strategies to undermine the UK government and our democracy. For a while commentators have been speculating that Musk must have a hard right UK informant, since he's not across any detail himself and really has no understanding of the UK or our political system himself (see his comments about asking the King to dissolve the government). He's clearly been radicalised by watching Tommy Robinson's videos, and now we discover it's Cummings up to his dark tricks again.

I don't think I've ever wished harm to another person but honestly I wish Cummings would just bugger off for good.

The only reason Musk has latched on to the gang rape issue is because he has a vendetta with our PM. He's been told that Starmer might have vulnerability over it becuase he was DPP for some of the time while cases were, or were not, being prosecuted and hopes to exploit that.

He doesn't give flying fu** for the victims.

Elon Musk has done this country a great service highlighting child grooming gangs.

Absolutely, there's no way anyone knew about any of this before Musk.

Both are despicable men who have the potential to cause significant harm given the billions available. It is NOT like any other person or politician expressing and opinion. Musk controls information which so much of the world takes as fact.
Our government needs to do all they can to stop this.
Trump and Musk’s desire for power knows no bounds. They are on a par with Putin in that respect. Cummings is utterly mad but clever enough to be extremely dangerous. We have seen him use a stupid leader as his puppet before and it didn’t end well for the UK.

I'd say that was fair comment rather than extreme lingo.

It’s certainly getting harder and harder to see how the Starmer government has the best interests of the British people at its heart.

Why would you feel like you need to see the WhatsApp messages of someone who is still technically until the inauguration presumably a private citizen?

I mean he would not be hiding messages like Boris and Rishi . I find secrecy more dangerous than an individual posting exactly what they think publicly !

I saw this mentioned in the Daily Mail Online yesterday. I find it deeply disturbing. These people do not have the interests of the British people at heart.

I think they do. Much more so than Labour do. Unfortunately for all of us.

Those words show no particular bias, you're reading it with your own bias!

'Government sources claim or government advisor claims' is standard for political stories, whatever the government, whatever the topic.

Yes. I'm sure you are completely right. Obviously you would give the Conservatives the same courtesy of believing whatever wild accusation they might make too.amd take them completely at face value.

I get it. It is not fun when your political party is at the receiving end and being held accountable. Mind you the Tories were at least decent to resign when it was too much. This government happily line up for under deserved knighthoods ( Sadid Khan) and won’t resign ever. They also put an anti corruption minister that is dodgy and corrupted herself (Tulip) oh dear oh dear…

@GrammarTeacher there has never been a national inquiry into the mass child rape committed by predominantly men of Pakistani origin. The Baroness Jay inquiry into child abuse was commissioned after Savile and Operation Yewtree. It covered the child rape by predominantly Pakistani gangs but not in great detail, it didn’t for example examine why it happened in the first place or specifically what part the offender’s ethnicity played in the way the authorities dealt with it.

Tommy Robinson was the leader of the EDL and the AfD in Germany who Musk is promoting are both classified as far-right because they meet the criteria. So no, we’re not all far-right, but Musk is certainly promoting that political opinion.

Show quote history

What's the criteria out of interest? Because that's the same.criteria Keir Starmer applies to anyone "jumping on a far right bandwagon", that bandwagon being calling for a national enquiry into rape gangs. Is that what you mean?

He's open about his messages though. Everyone knows what he says is from him and you can judge him accordingly.

If you're talking about covert influence on government however, that's always happened.

Do not you think the Labour Party are doing self harming themselves?

Who is saying that? Are we blaming the messenger again rather than listening to the message?

Elon Musk has done this country a great service highlighting child grooming gangs. Just because Labour don't enjoy him pointing out their faults doesn't make him wrong. And Labour saw nothing wrong in interfering in US politics so they can't complain now.

Well done. He highlighted something we ALREADY had a national inquiry on and the PREVIOUS government failed to implement the recommendations and then tried to delay a bill that put in some more protections in the recent legislation on schools.

lostinthememory · 12/01/2025 09:55

@Hoppingabout it's not about free speech. He's spreading blatant lies to try and destabilise our democracy in order to install one of his pals as our PM. Do you genuinely not see that?

I've given up trying to define this nebulous description of "far right" that Keir seems to throw around at anyone who disagrees with him. Which includes most of us. We are all "far right" now.
