As expected he's fucking off and leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces in January. But it does look like he was eventually shown the door and left with a cardboard box. As he should have been months ago.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Johnson needing an image change, like the shape shifting creep he is, to one that fits more with the incoming Biden Administration. In other words hes got some serious sucking up to do...

... Meanwhile in Brexit land we are going into yet another final week of talks.

Many expect Cummings departure to signal 'the cave in'. The Eu say we havent moved enough and the uk say the EU wants us to do all the moving... Except the EU have done lots of moving. Barnier is still looking for a groundsman to level his field to play. We have yet to work out we aren't Canada and distance is important to trade.

Of course if we don't get a deal, that Pfizer vaccine in Germany that we want, might be hit with delays and extra costs we just can't afford.

I’m going for April 1st for the Great Ousting of Johnson.

Cummings’ leaving is a piece of theatre, setting Johnson up. Specifically, setting him up to beg for a much-needed extension. Eventually this will be portrayed as a weak PM being played by his girlfriend’s involvement with a remainer cabal. Gove takes over, aided by a Cummings slipping the back way into Downing Street through the shadows. Unfortunately the extension can’t be revoked but the nation is back on the true path to leave. (I may - or may not - have been sampling festive spirits to check which is the best).

Cummings hasn't gone away yet you know.

Is there a possibility that he will be on call anyway to Johnson. Lister needs cojones now for that possibility. I hope he has the bottle to deal with anything like that.

I reckon that the departure date, well the latest one dovetails with the Electoral College vote in December.

The idea that Carrie is a ruthless Medici descendant is ludicrous. It is a "look over there" ploy IMV.

Thanks for new thread.

Hope you heal quickly Sostenuto! Flowers

I'm definitely in the market for a beautiful crochet pattern to follow. Saw a stunning Woolly Hug project one on their Facebook, must hunt down the pattern it was gorgeous.

prettybird · 13/11/2020 19:42

@pussycatinboots - I do Smile It's in hard copy only, so you'll need to PM me your email address and I'll scan it as a pdf to send it to you.

It was the last big project that my mum did, from a pattern she got from her bridesmaid in South Africa and Dad got me another copy so that I could make it too.

Christmas came a little early this year Grin

Thanks red

Goes back to o read all the comments that probably show I'm wrong

mrslaughan · 13/11/2020 19:52

I agree Cummings in the background, when he was mostly unknown was dangerous. But not many people in the uk do know who he is - and no matter what your political leanings , he is overwhelmingly disliked. Durham castle saw to that.
So as long as Laura K and Bob Peston don't allow him to shit stir via the "un-named source" he's had a lot of his teeth removed......

mrslaughan · 13/11/2020 19:53

Oh - and speedy recovery Sos....

pussycatinboots · 13/11/2020 19:55

@prettybird
I've pm'd you.😻

mrslaughan · 13/11/2020 19:57

@pussycatinboots - I am not sure they are hiding anything . It's been quite clear in the last couple of weeks someone was shit stirring - undermining Johnson - my pick was Gove, as he is quite - almost invisible at the moment ...... it would be hardly surprising if his old mate Dom was part of that? And his side kick Cain....
One of the political reporters on Twitter said the decisive action this afternoon was due to a belief that Cummings and cain were briefing against him......

I admire your optimism...

Thanks allxx

GeistohneGrenzen · 13/11/2020 20:22

PMK and thanks Red

Flowers for SOS - and what a thing to happen just now. Or any time really I suppose! Hoping you heal quickly and the pain goes soon Smile

prettybird · 13/11/2020 20:35

@pussycatinboots - I've replied Smile

Zixxy · 13/11/2020 20:41

I think this was orchestrated. I have no proof, just a gut feeling.

Maybe it had to do with Biden, more probable than possible. But I doubt Symonds is the power behind the throne either.

Stokey · 13/11/2020 20:46

Eddie Lister is just a stopgap. He's 71 and has one eye on retirement, think he's leaving in January. There's a lot of pressure on BJ to appoint an MP, not someone unelected. Sajid Javid's name is cropping up.

The whole business stems back to the leaks. Vote Leave operandi of leaking stories to make them look like done deals. They tried their luck earlier this week with the leaks re Cain & later Carrie, & failed.

Emilyontmoor · 13/11/2020 20:54

Thanks all, I am sure there are many checking in to these threads for reassurance they have not lost the plot and the world really has gone crazy.

WTF is Cummings doing for mass testing? What is his expertise? Would anyone with real expertise want to talk to him?

One thing you can say of him is that he is consistently, and serially, incompetent "The government’s plan is both wrong and dangerous."

www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/13/covid-test-for-mass-uk-screening-could-miss-up-to-half-of-cases-say-scientists?CMP=share_btn_fb&fbclid=IwAR17BBhHVuzjwWb-kYihSGocfl5qolxJDseCZZ3uCCQCOWUr0yRrbxrGuoI

If Dom gets handed UK Science then you can be sure all our talent in the areas like genetics and biotech that don't feature in his deluded plans for world domination will be off, especially now Biden's America will be far more inviting.......

SabrinaThwaite · 13/11/2020 20:55

I can see Gove and Cummings sneaking up behind Johnson in a quaintly British mix of “he’s behind you” (oh no he isn’t) and Carry On style “infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me”.

ListeningQuietly · 13/11/2020 20:56

((( Sos )))

My Friday night is chilled
I've always enjoyed Friday 13th
so am listening to one of the best albums ever made

SwedishEdith · 13/11/2020 20:58

This is our PM. Someone was mean to his girlfriend.

I still think her being with him after while being with Harry Cole and HC being so gleeful commenting on this story is very...odd.

Speedy recovery to Sos

Thanks for the new thread. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up a bit better now.

Newjobnewslob · 13/11/2020 21:14

I think I was so focused on the US stuff this week I missed the briefing against Johnson and symonds, anyone mind filling me in please?
