Dominic Cummings is Musk's informer

[trapforsanta]

It's been revealed in multiple media sources after much speculation that Dominic Cummings has been whatsapping Musk with strategies to undermine the UK government and our democracy. For a while commentators have been speculating that Musk must have a hard right UK informant, since he's not across any detail himself and really has no understanding of the UK or our political system himself (see his comments about asking the King to dissolve the government). He's clearly been radicalised by watching Tommy Robinson's videos, and now we discover it's Cummings up to his dark tricks again.

I don't think I've ever wished harm to another person but honestly I wish Cummings would just bugger off for good.

Good on Musk for promoting the far-right and challenging the very basic principles of democracy? Historically, how does that normally work out for people? Actually, he can’t do what he likes, he just thinks he can - perhaps because he’s just funded the presidency of a convicted felon accused of sexual assault and misconduct - Musk is as accountable as anyone else. You can criticise Labour and still believe that what Musk is doing is dangerous and wrong.

Agree. He's done the victims of the rape gangs a great service and is getting us to look at ourselves as a country and how we should be protecting our society.

He's clearly been radicalised by watching Tommy Robinson's videos

Yes, this is the real issue. Not the institutionalised protections that are given to men, so very many groups of disgusting men, decade after decade after decade. Forever and ever and ever.

Or the violent threats that are dished out to anyone who breaks stories and gets the word out. No, it's all about Tommy bloody Robinson.

I've given up trying to define this nebulous description of "far right" that Keir seems to throw around at anyone who disagrees with him. Which includes most of us. We are all "far right" now.

Musk may have channelled millions of dollars into the Republicans campaign, but that did not win them the election. The fact that Trump won the majority vote, by a long shot, is what won them the election

It’s not opinions, he’s spreading misinformation as facts that people believe - e.g. Tommy Robinson is wrongfully imprisoned, that last week’s vote for a children’s bill was Labour blocking a full another inquiry into the grooming gangs.

Not the first time - remember his disgusting accuststion about the diver that rescued those poor boys stuck in the cave in Thailand?

People know he's a nepo-baby crackpot. The only ones who will be influenced by him are the people that want to believe these things, already believe them and would be influenced by anyone spouting far right rhetoric - and we have plenty of those ourselves.

This is a fair point look at the politicians who had to pretend they hadn’t held strong opinions on Trump earlier

As for Cummings he was instrumental in partygate so he’s likely keen to go for either and if it’s good one then the other can’t complain over same

He’s not great at long form writing but gets strategy pretty much spot on so you’d not want him against you

Tommy Robinson was the leader of the EDL and the AfD in Germany who Musk is promoting are both classified as far-right because they meet the criteria. So no, we’re not all far-right, but Musk is certainly promoting that political opinion.

Which of the AfD policies do you disagree with?

@Hoppingabout it's not about free speech. He's spreading blatant lies to try and destabilise our democracy in order to install one of his pals as our PM. Do you genuinely not see that?

Well done. He highlighted something we ALREADY had a national inquiry on and the PREVIOUS government failed to implement the recommendations and then tried to delay a bill that put in some more protections in the recent legislation on schools.

Do not you think the Labour Party are doing self harming themselves?

The trio of clowns KS, Reeves and Phillipson are doing it.

I’m talking about Musk. I don’t care how open he is and I have judged him.

The drama and extreme lingo here is something else. 🤣

What's the criteria out of interest? Because that's the same.criteria Keir Starmer applies to anyone "jumping on a far right bandwagon", that bandwagon being calling for a national enquiry into rape gangs. Is that what you mean?

@GrammarTeacher there has never been a national inquiry into the mass child rape committed by predominantly men of Pakistani origin. The Baroness Jay inquiry into child abuse was commissioned after Savile and Operation Yewtree. It covered the child rape by predominantly Pakistani gangs but not in great detail, it didn’t for example examine why it happened in the first place or specifically what part the offender’s ethnicity played in the way the authorities dealt with it.

Poor Elon.

Isn’t it. I give you The trio of clowns KS, Reeves and Phillipson are doing it.

I get it. It is not fun when your political party is at the receiving end and being held accountable. Mind you the Tories were at least decent to resign when it was too much. This government happily line up for under deserved knighthoods ( Sadid Khan) and won’t resign ever. They also put an anti corruption minister that is dodgy and corrupted herself (Tulip) oh dear oh dear…

I saw this mentioned in the Daily Mail Online yesterday. I find it deeply disturbing. These people do not have the interests of the British people at heart.

I agree-he’s very open. I doubt he would be hiding whatsapp messages he just puts his thoughts out there for all on X .

Yes. I'm sure you are completely right. Obviously you would give the Conservatives the same courtesy of believing whatever wild accusation they might make too.amd take them completely at face value.

Why would you feel like you need to see the WhatsApp messages of someone who is still technically until the inauguration presumably a private citizen?

I think they do. Much more so than Labour do. Unfortunately for all of us.

You really are turning disingenuousness into an art form.
