Sky News - Cummings to make a rare statement...

[MunchMunch]

And answer questions today. I wonder if he's doing the briefing today with Bozo?!

I wonder how this will go?!

What a load of shit. He's an advisor. It's the judgement and accountability of the Cabinet, and the PM in particular, which is the issue. I couldn't give a fuck what Cummings has to say for himself. Get Johnson out to tell us what he knew and when and did he give agreement for it to happen.

He will stand down.

I agree Vera. He doesn't have the humility to publicly stand down. And there wouldn't be questions after. It will be a "you're all wrong, idiots" self justification thing.

He won't stand down because he's a slimy little parasite.

At the bike rack, hopefully.

I predict more self justification.

I can't see him standing down if he is taking questions. He absolutely should though, of course.

Arrogance itself.

If he was standing down he wouldn't be answering questions.

What time?

What a totally spineless shit Johnson is sending out a SPAD to the slaughter when the buck stops totally with him.

The reality is, though, even if he does stand down/get the sack/ is demoted to senior toilet cleaner at number 10, none of that will stop Boris consorting with him behind the scenes and ultimately remaining under his influence, surely?
It could be argued that by having him one step removed from Boris, they would be under less scrutiny than they are now.

He’s going to say his child has additional needs and we’re all judgemental twats, and don’t we now feel bad about saying he broke the rules.

No.... you still broke the rules you twat. I know two households in the exact same position, with more kids with AN, who followed the rules to a T.

Whether you think he’s the scum of the Earth or not, he has the right to speak and defend himself, particularly considering the scenes witnessed outside his home.

I don’t want him to answer any questions - just resign. Much more is at stake here than this man’s career.

Anyone think its incredibly strange for an aide to be given an opportunity to speak like this, like he is an MP? If he isnt resigning, how is him standing there stating 'I am right, you are all just stupid if you were taking the rules as literal' isnt going to help the situation.

Cummings is going to make a statement:

"I hereby sack Boris and I will appoint a new PM shortly

How can DC come out of this with any credibility?
Resign saying it's not because he did anything wrong but for the public interest, so the government can concentrate on the pandemic recovery, an altruistic act

"I couldn't have been at Barnard Castle on that date, I was in Pizza Express."

In Woking? 😏

I hereby sack Boris and I will appoint a new PM shortly

Haha @BigChocFrenzy I can just imagine that

I don't think he will resign and it's quite scary the hold he seems to have at least over Boris. Can anyone but Boris make him leave?
