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?!

We have 80 seat majority
We have left the EU
I control Boris
Now let's have a dance, plebs and then you can all just fuck off.

Will this count as ‘work’? Will he be paid for this? Or is he on holiday and doing it in his own time?
Also, who gives a flying fart about an advisor? Where are Boris’ balls?

Code of conduct for special advisors,

Special advisers must not take public part in political controversy, through any form of statement whether in speeches or letters to the press, or in books, social media, articles or leaflets.

They must observe discretion and express comment with moderation, avoiding personal attacks, and would not normally speak in public for their Minister or the Department.

So that book looks like it's about to be ripped up.

Domnishambles quite the best thing to come out of this whole, well, omnishambles.

He'd better not bloody resign today, I'll lose my bet with DH (I said he'd cling on till tomorrow).

Will this count as ‘work’? Will he be paid for this

Oh, great point! Will this time be billed? And prep time? And any time spent thinking about the client no matter where or when or if also applicable to another client and therefore double billed? 😂

If his child does have SEN then at least his parents have been able to get him assessed very quickly as he is only four.
So many parents can't do this for their children by more normal means which is another divide between rich v poor folk when they are desperately worried about their child but have to wait forever for help for anything.
I really feel for his little boy as he is the innocent one here and probably did enjoy his time with his parents and extended family (when many others couldn't for weeks on end! )

Sadly I don't think he will be going. He should/needs to go but he has far too much power and is far too arrogant to resign.

The government will come out of this even worse than they are now. And the scandal of care homes still has not been properly addressed.

I do think something underhand is going on. We may have a 2nd peak and we will all get the blame for not following the rules. Oh the irony.

Only cokeheads would think this was a good idea.

He shouldn’t be allowed to Bill this time on the taxpayers. Unfortunately, we have no way of finding out.

So Dominic Cummings thinks he's the PM. And now he's going to get his fantasy press conference. Bet he loves being on all the newspaper front pages.

Not a chance in hell he'll resign. He shouldn't be speaking at all. He's not an elected official, just a political adviser. His views are of no interest to anyone. If he has gone against the government's own guidelines, he needs to be fired.

Double bill today on the Dom & BJ Show.

I have heard 4pm, with Boris at 6

Vera, you mentioned drugs yesterday too I believe?
Nothing would shock me about any of this shower : Michael Gove admitted to taking cocaine a while back ( a line or two) ?

I always imagine most of the young Islington crowd being a bit lax over their addictions but maybe I read too much fiction!

This, with bells on. He needs to be fired in any case now because he is undermining all of our safety.

I'm saying nothing - but coke mania is the only thing that makes sense to me...

He'll attempt some sort of contrition. Family man, desperate perhaps not wise in hindsight. Will refuse point blank to talk about castle. A lot of allegations and false information. I'm not going to dignify at this important time whilst fighting this horrific disease that has claimed many lives including my relative, business of government, the press should grow up, stop axe-grinding, a disservice to focus on this whilst people are struggling. Let's move on.

And some mugs will buy it and it will rumble on for a few days.

He will hope to draw a line under it all I guess! We can move on , nothing to see here.

I'll be interested to hear what he says. The anger across social media from people who never normally involve themselves in politics is widespread. As well as the Daily Mail. I am hopeful that this may lead to his political demise. Although I think Mr Johnston and his cohorts are also despicable and should go for defending this.

Sky saying it's definitely at 4 p.m.

He might be a strategist but he is awful at PR so I suspect it will be a disaster. He was telling journalists 'why should I care what you think'? It was at that point I started wondering if he might be autistic himself, which would explain his response a bit though it wouldn't excuse what he did.

Brexiteers and other assorted swivel eyed loons who voted to get rid of unelected bureaucrats now have their man speaking to the nation in his very own press conference.

It’s going to be in the Downing Street Rose Garden - just confirmed

Not sure how to square this circle: Advisors are not supposed to give speeches.

It was at that point I started wondering if he might be autistic himself, which would explain his response a bit though it wouldn't excuse what he did.

Being autistic isn't an explanation for being a complete twat. Not having a go at you PP. DC is an out and out power hungry pillock.

Will he promise us a rose garden eh?

I know it's been a huge story but I've never heard of something quite like this before, normally it's a quiet resignation, golden handshake and the person pops up in another role a few years later.
