Cummings is taking questions later today

[pontypridd]

How on earth is that going to go?

If my husband needed to test his eyes, or his strength, by going for a short drive then there's not a chance in hell he'd be doing so with our child in the back of the car

What previous poster says.....I am worried about my eye sight....let me strap my child into a car seat.....and take him on a test drive???

Does he not like his niece!

Why has he not mentioned his family in London?

Bet his 17 year old niece is well happy to be such a large part of his explanation.

This is making Prince Andrew look coherent and reasonable.

This is reminding me in some of my worst job interviews where I couldn't remember the question and just kept repeating one or two things and hating myself as I did it, knowing it was shit.

He's making it up as he goes along but the media circus#/doorstepping of recent days plays into his hands.

Does his wife not drive?

I thought he was meant to be really brainy

@LaurieMarlow

This statement contradicts what Mary said in her Spectator article. Is she now the liar?

DC and Boris Johnson have completely misjudged the public mood and the media’s

This won’t go away now. He is fighting a losing battle and one I suspect he will find him fighting alone shortly

This has been going on for over three quarters of an hour now.

He really can’t see that he’s in the wrong. It’s interesting in a kind of morbid way, it’s like his brain just doesn’t function in the way most peoples do. Is this sociopathy? (Not meaning that in a pejorative way, genuine question). He really just seems to not get why this is an issue. Incredibly inflexible and zero empathy.

I reckon he will resign after this.

Dig dig dig mate.
Nobody is buying it

I was wondering why his wife couldn't drive

So what about the terrible suffering from Covid that they both did according to his wife's Spectator piece? And a drive with family to test your eyesight? Are we being trolled?

he like a rabbit in the headlights !

just an arrogant fucker

I'm on codeine so forgive gobbledygook of my post ^^. Is it comprehensible anyway?

TBH I agree with him ,he was in a tricky situation and he did what he thought was for the best

Which was directly opposed to the guidelines given to everyone else who was in a tricky situation.

@Decmum19

He admitted that she lied, he didn't want the press to target his parents apparently.

This has been delicious, but he's not going anywhere.

Please can a journo ask if his wife can drive??????
If yes, why the bollox castle trip?

What did he think the journalists were going to say?

Or, is he thinking that the general public would be amenable to what he said and facing the journalists was worth getting his spin out direct to the public.

@Lemonylemony well David Cameron did describe him as a "career sociopath". From the architect of austerity, that's quite something.

He doesn’t need to resign.

I don’t think he’ll get complete understanding but it’s fine to stay.
