Dominic Cummings wow what a coincidence!!

[allfalldown47]

Just that really, see pic attached.
He really needs to go.

[effingterrified]

Interesting that it turned out yesterday that Cummings was in fact visiting his second home - the precise thing the Scottish health advisor was made to resign over - as apparently he is on the deeds for his parents' house.

Just when you think his law-breaking can't look any worse...it does.

[ragged]

Alice Cummings is a Mrs., but I can't find any information about Alice's Mr. The Mr. guess could be a relation of DC, but seems like the journos would have figured that out by now if true.

[mrssmiling]

Going to sign up for this...anyone else?
The issue isn’t closed Boris...people aren’t forgetting or forgiving.

Pricks about sums it up!

[Sunshiney1981]

You vote for clowns, you get a circus.

This shit show of a government are beyond anything I’ve know in my 60+ years on this planet as politicians go.
They lie, deceive and manipulate for their own interests and self promotion on a whole new level.
Dominic Cummings apparently ‘masterminded’ the whole brexit affair as a means to get Boris (& himself) into the top job.
They sold us a lie about how we’d all be better off out of the EU. In a way it was a stroke of genius. Cameron started the ball rolling but this lot (including Jacob Rees-Mogg, Gove et al- cringe) really ramped up the whole Brexit lie.
Remember the big red EU bus that claimed we sent £350 million per week to the EU? Bojo was taken to court for that as it was a massive exaggeration. Yet they were allowed to deceive and lie. Remember when he prorogued parliament unlawfully? How deceitful can they be?!
And so it continues today with this D.C. debacle....

@SmileyFaceSadFace

The first reference to Alice Cummings that I read a few weeks ago is that she was his cousin. I now can't find anything to back that up though.

They are not related at all. You have no verified source. Stop spreading lies. It may not be your lie, but you have a responsibility to fact check before spreading it, otherwise you're no better than them.

[Crosswordocelot]

I have an idea which is probably rubbish....but it's a what if...
Background: I am outraged at such a blatant breach of lockdown which he was instrumental in setting out and is a real kick in the teeth to those who have stuck to the guidelines through difficult and traumatic circumstances. DH defended him and says he must be v clever and good at his job and we need the best people as advisors.

So....my question is What if Dominic Cummings actually wanted to resign but BJ effectively rejected it, and glossed over it, because he knows it's essentially DC running the show...?

....but if he did resign, could he not be reinstated/demoted anonymously as an advisor to PM (there must be loads of faceless, anonymous civil service "aides" that the public dont know....?)

[HonchoHead]

@SunshineOnLeithh wow, you catch on fast

[SunshineOnLeithh]

I'm actually starting to think that neither of them had Covid, they used it as an excuse to go on an Easter holiday to his parents and celebrate his Mum and Wife's birthdays at the same time. The wife's story in the Spectator reeks of fictitious nonsense.

Would be interesting to know if that is an annual event in the Cummings calendar.

[Reastie]

Bit not BT

[Reastie]

I was jaw dropping a BT when listening to him that I think (if I heard right) that when his wife had coronavirus he ran off home to help but then he said he later returned to work that day. Why is no one else picking up that. That’s an obvious flout of the rules. One member of household gets it then everyone has to stay at home. He seemed to think that was ok.

[SmileyFaceSadFace]

The first reference to Alice Cummings that I read a few weeks ago is that she was his cousin. I now can't find anything to back that up though.

[saveeno]

It really doesn't matter anymore. The wagons have circled, no resignations, and onwards they all go.

[ike2112]

@JingleCatJingle

His sister is also a director of the company that made the track and trace app.

That is completely incorrect.
Both of the things you randomly found on social media and chose to present here as fact, are not true.
It's this sort of behaviour that spread lies throughout the last 3+ years and has left us with the lying bunch of __s that are 'in charge' right now.
Please, please fact check before you permeate lies.

Looks like this Alice Cummings isn't DC's sister www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-cummings-sister/fact-check-dominic-cummings-does-not-have-a-sister-working-for-the-it-solutions-company-idox-idUSKBN2322VB

[goldfinchfan]

i am more concerned by the huge numbers of visitors to our beaches.
No social distancing and tons of disrespect to the locals.

[B1rdbra1n]

not entirely sure why he'd have to be there in person though
he gets a buzz from being master of all he surveys

[NeurotrashWarrior]

Unless he wanted meetings that were unofficial and un recorded.

That does tie up. I'm not entirely sure why he'd have to be there in person though.

[doublehalo]

Did you know that glaxo smith kline
Is based in Barnard castle?

I'm gobsmacked.

Maybe he went there to collect his backhander?

[MrsP48]

Please check re Idox. Don't believe they have a base in the Durham area.

[MrsP48]

I don't believe she is. His sister is Francesca Herriot.
