But everything people throw at Cummings can be said about Campbell. He invented the art of political spin. And Blair lied to Parliament
Tony Blair stopped being PM in 2007, what he did or didn’t do isn’t really an issue at the moment.
He did it as well is no defence

ODFOx · 16/06/2021 21:46

He really is a snivelling Uriah Heap isn't he?
If he wasn't so revolting he'd be comical.

I hope he's being paid well by the gutter press. No political party or lobbying organisation will ever employ him again.

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2021 21:48

DC will just go and work for his dad I suppose.
He'll be ok. I doubt money is an issue and someone will employ him, or he'll write a book or something. He has been planning all this I bet

MissGendered · 16/06/2021 21:53

Doorstepped by broadcasters and asked if he was “hopeless”, Hancock replied: “I don’t think so.”

Grin

Hopeless Hancock !!
Has a ring to it.

That'll be him , Nancy!

remind me never to employ or trust Cummings

herecomesthsun · 16/06/2021 22:08

Cummings is no worse than Alistair Campbell.

on what planet would that be?

just look at the pantomime attacks Cummings is conducting on his erstwhile bosses. you couldn't make it up.

Walkaround · 16/06/2021 22:12

Cummings is patently considerably worse than Campbell.

There is something attractive about him though, I've had words with myself but even in that photo he seems sensual.

Also an easy target for Cummings and Boris.

nancy75 · 16/06/2021 22:24

@Beannag you need to have a few more words with yourself! 😂
When he’s not pretending to be a zombie he permanently looks like he’s just blown his nose or recently stopped crying

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2021 22:24

He has the most smoothest skin I've ever seen on a man! He must have a great skin care routine.

nancy75 · 16/06/2021 22:25

Cameron had the shiny skin thing too, like an over blown up balloon

frumpety · 16/06/2021 22:28

Political parties and lobby groups are not necessarily interested in a candidates moral compass see Boris, more that the candidate can get them the results they want. So you wouldn't employ Cameron but you might still employ Cummings.

CandyLeBonBon · 16/06/2021 22:32

He comes across as a petulant extra in an episode of 'The Office'.

This has been planned snd I think he knew this was his end game last summer. He's like Gollum. This is a clear display of cold rage.

I actually think he's a bit of a sociopath.

madroid · 16/06/2021 22:33

I really don't like Cummings but his account of the the start of the pandemic last year is very credible - and terrifying.

That you would have a Secretary of State for Health lying about care homes, PPE, testing and track and trace in the middle of a pandemic is worse than incompetent. It's bloody evil.

As someone above said, it's shocking that what was of concern was the political and public perception rather than the avoidable deaths caused.

It's not news that Boris Johnson is a clown and a liar. We knew that and voted him in anyway. I doubt Cummings account will alter anything and I think we are going to get what we deserve as a country.

madroid · 16/06/2021 22:35

The shit will hit the fan when our incompetent govt don't prevent a third wave when the next variant strikes and economic recession.

As long as enough people are going alright financially there will be no change.

He’s always going to be known as Hopeless Hancock now.

The “i dont think so “ Response is like something out of Dad’s Army!

One of my best mates once had Cummings round his house for dinner, and has his personal mobile number.

Quite nice in person, apparently, but a bit weird and thinks he's smarter than anyone else.

AlecTrevelyan006 · 16/06/2021 22:53

I'd like Boris come out and say 'you know what, I should have sacked him after the Durham trip nonsense. I apologise for saying he acted with integrity because he clearly has none. The country was going through a difficult time and I thought it best not to add fuel to the fire but in retrospect I was wrong. Cummings is a wrong 'un and I never should have had anything to do with him'.

Oh look. A pig just flew past my window.

@newnortherner111- Ben Wallace competent?? Every dodgy vote in parliament has been either supported by him, or he’s not answered.

Try emailing him about anything important- the replies would be laughable if he wasn’t the elected MP for my area. Whoever does his emails needs sacking because the policy quoted is never up to date.

The trouble is Boris has even less integrity than Cummings.

Boris Johnson is a serial liar and we knew that (those of us who were listening) before we voted him in to lead our country and govern us.

You can see all the lies listed on numerous websites. There's one here: boris-johnson-lies.com/
