The science has left the building (4)

New thread inspired by Whitty and Valance exiting stage right today

I wasn't able to watch so thanks for the blow by blow! I'll try and see if I can find Yvette's questioning...

What was the joke about sexism?!

Interesting, he wont say which allegations were untrue.

Could it be because he knows the allegations were true?

over 800k signed that petition to sack Cummings now

Often the simplest answer is the right one. I think you're spot on.

I was wondering will anyone ask this, because the only thing which was untrue that DC was seen at Durham on 19th April. All others are true.

This is simultaneously PAINFUL and delightful to watch.

Did anyone notice the coughing? Double dose of C19 on the way? Another month sick leave?
Resignation for health purposes?

@AnyFucker, thanks for that. He isn't a well man is he. Time for him to go, put him feet up, he's suddenly a very old man and I say that as someone over 10 years older than him. Poor Carrie she didn't get a bargain did she.

1forsorrow he's gone pinker on mine.

I have zero sympathy for him. Incompetent privileged blustering buffoon.

If he's not fit enough to Govern then he needs to step down.

Resignation for health reasons sounds about right.

@SheldontheWonderSchlong

I've also done a u-turn on the app. No chance this lot are getting my data after they've shown such contempt for us in the past few days.

The app is being fiddled with by Cummings' buddy Marc Warner and his company Faculty, which has links to Aggregate IQ, one of the firms linked with Cambridge Analytica scandal.

I wouldn't let this bunch anywhere near my data.

You can tell he just wants to shout shut the fuck up about Cummings

@JackiFazaki I'm just hoping he gets a medical retirement.

Ooh Sir Bernard letting Yvette have a last snap at BJ's heels.
He gave a little smirk.

@TruthTwisters If he's not fit enough to Govern then he needs to step down. Definitely.

@1forsorrow I think medical retirement is his only slightly dignified way out

Sir Bernard is enjoying this isn't he.

Please Go. With Dom. Save Lives.
(Including Yours)

Yes, medical retirement is the only way to fall on his sword with a bit of honour..

@AlovelybitofsquirrelJackie yes, let's just get rid of him.

Does he not realise we don’t have to take our phones everywhere with us? Mine is old and frequently drains of power. I rarely take it out with me, it’s fuck all use for T and T at school anyway and he can stick his sanctions up his arse if I’m out and about without meeting people. The only danger I’m in is the danger he’s putting me in by forcing schools to open too early with no possibility of social distancing due to age of children and additional needs,

Finally managed to watch Yvette Cooper.

What a legend!

And yes to all those saying some things were proven untrue.

But most wasn't. That's why he had to develop a story to include all the things he knew he was caught out over.

He's trying to say nothing is true because one thing two eyed was in accurate.

Totally missing or avoiding the point that Dom Cummings tiles is HIMSELF. Did BJ not watch the Rose garden speech?

He was asked how much of a difference would it make if women were in the room making decisions. (Relating to women returning to work without childcare)

He said it would make a huge difference and then said this may be a sexist thing to say and laughed.

He also laughed when the MP said should it not be 50% women (helping make the decisions) and he said he is not competent to answer while laughing.

The chair said it's not funny.

Sir Bernard is enjoying this isn't he.
He is. I think he might have had a few off the record chats with senior Civil Servants, given the questions he asked at the beginning.

OMG he can hardly string a sentence together let alone a coherent one.
