Stephen Kinnock is also not the chief advisor to the PM. He isn't advising him to make rules for everyone and then breaking them.

The travelling isn't the problem - we all know people have done it - they are all human, its when they lie to our faces about it like this that is becomes a problem.

Does anyone know what DC's official job title is ?

Humphriescushion · 24/05/2020 19:15

I agree, i dont think the government understood how angry many people are about this. Or maybe they did and dont give a fuck.

Does anyone know what DC's official job title is ?

Chief puppeteer and shadow prime minister.

Government think we’ll calm down and forget?

Will we?

They don’t understand how people feel about this at all.
They thought the ‘loving father’ routine would get him off the hook.
But the country ain’t buying that.
We all know stuff we’ve had to swallow to protect the NHS. How we put that above love. Every single one of us.

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2020 19:21

I will not forget.
Yes others have broken rules. He did too but been endorsed to do so by his boss. He made the rules then broke them. He waves his book around in people's faces and shows up to meetings in yesterday's clothes looking like someone who hasn't got one home , let alone two! He is obviously untouchable and must have shed loads of dirt on people ? Who knows , but it is a huge
Shitshow all round .

'Caroline Flack' is trending on Twitter because Tory activists are trying to compare the bullying and harassment she received to what's happening to Cummings.

There are some really sick feckers about...and they're running and supporting the Government.

I wonder how Carrie feels? She fell for this dynamic but admittedly older man who now seems like a shell. She's 32 and looks like she is going to be coping with an ageing invalid.

On the other hand there is Boris, full of fun and life, gets himself a young girlfriend and becomes PM. Wow how amazing. Now he is clearly feeling old and spent,tied to a 32 year old with a new baby and the country and covid all attacking him. I wonder if he ever thinks of how comfortable he could be back at home with Marina, grown up kids visiting, no hassle, no pressure and looking at some poor sap on TV trying to justify how they are dealing with Covid and DC.

In another life.......

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2020 19:24

Problem with labour is one of their MPs went to a funeral with 100 people and Steve Kinnock also broke the rules too.
I may be seething but these things do come up and Keir Starmer has to also be careful.
Those two were not sacked etc.
Still doesn't stop me getting upset over this but I guess I expected him to be fired and it did t happen.
It will rumble on I'm sure.

Saucery · 24/05/2020 19:26

I don’t really care one way or another about Cummings. He’s an arrogant, privileged sod and there’s been no shortage of those zipping up and down the country during lockdown because they don’t see why they shouldn’t.
I do care that the Prime Minister of my country just pissed on my head and told me it was fucking raining. I won’t forget that.

ploopmoop · 24/05/2020 19:26

listening to LBC and a life long Tory voter wants Dom out.

People are pissed!

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2020 19:28

What happened to Caroline Flack was awful.
To compare that to this is dreadful.
We are not bullying Dominic or his boss : we are just stating facts.
I don't want anyone to die over this , enough people have already , sadly.
We just want people to do the right things and neither of them have done.

gluteustothemaximus · 24/05/2020 19:30

Chanel that rage. Write to your MP. I've just written to mine.

Saucery · 24/05/2020 19:31

I’ve written to mine. Made it quite clear this isn’t about personalities, it’s about truth and honesty and trust.

ListeningQuietly · 24/05/2020 19:32

No, the Kinnocks did NOT break the rules

FuckThisWind · 24/05/2020 19:34

Wondered how long it would be before they trotted out the 'Be Kind'

Fucking disgraceful. People have died. Boris and Cummings don't have an integral bone in their bodies.

Yes, people have long memories. I have never in my life voted for these parasites. And it looks like the tide is eventually and slowly turning among those who did. Well, some anyway. I'm sickened. The sacrifices I have made, and the hardship I'm having to put up with. Will the programmes tomorrow reflect this? I bloody hope so. Because I'm not going to let it drop. I emailed my wonderful Labour MP last night. He doesn't need telling to be fair. I signed the petition this morning. What the hell else are we supposed to do? Throw ourselves in front of horses?

magicmallow · 24/05/2020 19:36

I have emailed my MP!

Outrage on here, twitter, etc - but the average Boris voting brexiteer doesn't give a shit.

The Tories could physically do drive by shootings of every care home in the country and Labour still wouldn't get anywhere near beating them such is the state of this country and its politics.

The cult of Brexit has seen to that.

I agree. The scales fell from my eyes a while ago on that. Tories are literally burying their relatives because of government mis management while still defending them.

I read a report a while ago by a mathematician or something that if Gov had locked down just one week earlier (as many were pleading with them to do) we would have had 50% fewer cases and deaths. I can't find the article anymore though. Does anyone know of it?

mrsspooky · 24/05/2020 19:37

Im very happy to be kind and to forgive, hes human and all, but the thing thats the problem is the complete rubbish they are coming out with to defend it, why cant they just admit a mistake!

Experimenopause · 24/05/2020 19:38

Where is the petition? Can anyone share the link again please?
