Cummings is slagging off the government for cocking up when he cocked up himself.

A shame this didn’t come to light when it would have made a difference

ie I’m a bit sceptical

As expected, Cummings goes on record to say he DID hear PM made "bodies pile high" comment. He adds that the BBC's version of the quote is accurate

PM has in parliament denied this on the record

Starmer must insist Johnson comes to the House today to answer this.

Starmer must insist Johnson comes to the House today to answer this.

They've done PMQs today. Johnson laughed it off, in a shouty way.

It was, he had a withdrawal agreement with the EU,

@Twinkie01

I think he should use the M&H line 'my truth' when asked these questions.

We'll never see the real truth I fear.

Don’t forget that the whole Parliament voted to hold the referendum

I am cringing myself inside out. This is so horrifyingly undignified and unproductive. It's just a mud slinging show and Scummings, once again and inexplicitly is bring given a platform to rant.

no, its all coming out now, what we have thought all along, we are governed by an inept shower of shit

PM has in parliament denied this on the record

Well, in the words of the immortal Mandy Rice-Davies, “He would, wouldn’t he?”

Not followed this at all, but my take is that there are all sort of government failings from the date covid 19 was first reported in china to today. But perhaps the biggest failing was years ago when we failed to implement proper pandemic planning procedures.

@SpindleWhorl

Why was Carrie Symonds called Princess Nut-Nut? Is it as simple as being an insult meaning 'spoiled crazy girlfriend'??

Because, amongst all his other plus points, he's a misogynist too.

So you should. Cummings is a liar, not just with Barnard Castle but also with the brexit claims (350m for NHS) and the unlawful porogation.

He is also protecting Gove and Sunak.

He is definitely protecting Sunak and Gove.
What is that bell ?

WHAT IS THAT BLOODY BELL??

It's the division bell apparently!
Very apt it seems

Division bell. Quite annoying though.

Does it have to go on that fricken long?

Seems he u-turned on Brexit as well. What is with this guy?

One of the masterminds behind the Brexit vote has performed an astonishing U-turn by admitting that leaving the EU may be “an error”.

Dominic Cummings, the Vote Leave campaign director, described the referendum as a “dumb idea” before other ideas had been tried to win back powers from Brussels. He has also warned that Brexit is shaping up to be a “guaranteed debacle”, without big changes in Whitehall to deliver a successful negotiation.

I don't understand the point. We all know they acted too late but it was over a year ago. Surely we need to move on and leave it in the past?

Absolutely not. Johnson and his mates are responsible for thousands of deaths, to say nothing of the lives ruined by long covid etc. Why on earth would we just forget about it?

Would you say "We all know Shipman murdered loads of his patients but it was well over a year ago, surely we need to move on and leave it in the past?"

Everyone knows that this government will break any rule and ignore any poor behaviour that suits them. The corruption comes from the top. There has been zero comeback from the law or the electorate so far. I'm sure this won't be any different.

It's like the Line of Duty beeeeep.
