Makes a change from all the ageism that floods this place.

This level of petty hatred must be hard to live with

Petty hatred might be hard to live with - although you seem to be ok so maybe not - I personally find justified loathing invigorating!

Or highly intelligent @Saucery because not everyone with autism is highly intelligent and I say this as the parent of a child with autism and severe learning disabilities

Sorry of all the things you might get worked up about Dominic Cummings what he chooses to wear isn't one.

Many high powered settings do not wear suits these days. He is not an MP and anyway why would an MP need to wear a suit anyway?

I don't care two hoots about what he wears. But I am still waiting for an apology or resignation to come out of his arrogant mush.

Not going to happen - for the very reason that he dresses as he does.

I think there are degrees. Corbyn has come in for loads of shit when actually he was wearing suitable clothes. Track suits would seldom be acceptable in a business environment. But I agree it's all a charade. Seems that at University he wore suits. We've all met posturing mavericks like him.

Because he doesn't want to
Because he doesn't need to

You're dredging if you have to start whinging about what he's wearing

Honestly, it’s because he’s an arrogant piece of shit who doesn’t give a fuck.

Why do you care?

Mother of a highly intelligent and overly empathetic autistic ds here.

Yes to stopping the stereotypes.

Typical double standards from the Guardian. They were wetting themselves with allegations of misogyny when the tabloids commented on May & Sturgeon’s appearances, yet now they think it’s fine to comment on Cummings’, presumably because he’s a man.....

he’ll always be an arrogant twat.

Be cause hes a fucking (privately educated, parents with a free fucking farmhouse, married to nobility with an actual castle) maverick.

Well we can talk about his new sexual harrassment scandal if you want, Soupdragon?

I think its sexual discrimination not harassment?

He dresses like someone who was an undergraduate at the precise time that he was an undergraduate, and who still thinks that that's what the cool kids wear

It's hysterical. He looks absolutely exactly like everyone looked in 1994. I know someone else who is like this and is the same age - they are also achingly keen to let you know that they are incredibly clever and different.

being paid between £95,000 and £99,000)

Is that the civil service pay scale? Because actually he’s a private contractor and I have read that he is on well north of that (from someone who would know).

Has a single credible source confirmed DC's son is autistic? I thought this claim started as speculation on Twitter & has no basis in fact.

Various conservative people (Cornwall for example) have said his son is autistic and it’s is why he needed support if they got ill. His son needed childcare from a familiar face.

The Express for what it’s worth has also reported his son is autistic.

I remain unconvinced. Both those could easily be traced back to the original unsourced claim on Twitter. The poor kid’s confidential medical records shouldn’t be up for public consumption anyway unless possibly his parents put it out there. Which they haven’t.

It's because he's a brilliant maverick, innit.

Has a single credible source confirmed DC's son is autistic?

No.

Frederick Forsyth is a tory supporting arse and Cornish Conservatives are..Cornish Conservatives. So not credible sources.

I don’t think his son is relevant to anything. All this speculation about him makes me feel quite uncomfortable.
