And/or send him any WhatsApp messages 😬

Oh my, I kind of laughed just at the point blankness of it

LemonTT · 16/06/2021 13:40

Kettles, pots and whatever.

MyBossIsATwat · 16/06/2021 13:43

It would be fucking hilarious if it wasn’t about something so important. Wonder what else he’s got!

Cummings is right in there

Reminds me of work but on a scale that actually matters

Iknowtheanswer · 16/06/2021 13:44

Have you read his blog? I had a look, and he really rambles.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 16/06/2021 13:48

"Cummings said he had been torn about publishing private WhatsApp messages"

Yeah, right Grin

Bloomsbury45 · 16/06/2021 13:49

Dominic Cummings is the best example ever of Boris Johnsons complete lack of judgement.

All the lolz.

Grin

As his messages are long, rambling and full of typos like this, you’d probably just reply totally fucking hopeless to every one. Could work

I haven’t. I might have to have a bit of a look but he disgusts me so much the thought makes me feel a bit sick.

He likes to play The long game and Boris doesn't have the attention span to formulate a counter strategy

IWantAllTheDogsInTheWorld · 16/06/2021 14:06

And there's a true example of the saying "I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him".

Does anyone truly give a shiny about what the long rambling messages are about? All I can think about when I look at them are what a back stabber he appears to be.

It's not the content of what he's disclosing, it's the total lack of confidentiality that is the problem for me. Does Cummings even have a job at the moment or is he planning to live off his newspaper earnings now?

TruelyonelastSchlep · 16/06/2021 14:12

He is just coming across as petty isn't he. I mean most people send texts slagging off a co worker at some point. Big deal. Plus we already new Hancock was seen as useless and the fool guy by his colleagues especially Boris. The newspapers and social media were full of it during the first lockdown

Cornettoninja · 16/06/2021 14:16

Isn’t this the stuff he was meant to present to the inquest before Hancock’s turn?

twilightermummy · 16/06/2021 14:17

Yes but this confirms that the PM doesn’t have any confidence in him so, why should we?

TruelyonelastSchlep · 16/06/2021 14:21

He had no confidence in him more than a year ago. When the world went loopy and nobody knew for sure what to do.

We don't know what Boris thinks of Hancock now. The fact that so far he has not thrown Hancock under a bus to save his own arse suggests things have more on a bit.

Pandoraslastchance · 16/06/2021 14:22

Reminds me of the pettiness of teenage girls.

But good news Boris plans to quit soon so that's a positive thing to look forward to.

MyBossIsATwat · 16/06/2021 14:22

I am having a problem in that my instinct is to disbelieve Boris Johnson and disagree with his opinions.

So if he thinks Hancock is useless then does that mean he’s actually amazing 🤯

He's not "playing the long game"

He's just being a petty snake.

I've not heard any mutterings about this! He is still popular and high in the polls. Who would take over?
Ridcully82 · 16/06/2021 14:29

Who'd have guessed old Dom would be Boris' most vindictive ex?!

But who would replace him? We could jump out of the frying pan and into the fire!

Where have you heard this?

It's WhatsApp really the way government officials should be communicating?
