I think the key to this is where he filled up with petrol TBH.
He stated his tank was full (of petrol) (how likely is that?)
Assuming he took that Land Rover they only do around 450 miles per tank officially (so at some point on the covid tour he must have filled up)
Later he said he might have filled up with petrol on the way back but could not remember (he seemed to recall a lot of other stuff with great clarity) also if he had stated where he had filled up that would/could have been checked hence somewhere, maybe, can't remember, but would have been on road back.
I think he/she filled that car up on way to Durham (find out where and he could possibly be nailed)
Anyway that is my theory

“Dominic Cummings” has now entered the lexicon of golfing terms.
A long drive which goes out of bounds. No penalty.
or "A Boris"
A bad lie, lots of spin, doesn't work and can't be found...
Re the mysterious lack of clarity re stopping and purchasing fuel on the way back, but absolute clarity that they he did not stop on the way up, this doesn't add up at all.
The fuel would almost certainly have been paid for by card, hence there is either a receipt or at the very least the entry in his bank statement which would show when and probably where it was filled, and approximately how much fuel was purchased (i.e. the size of the bill)
The fact that it's being hidden probably indicates that this is something that is being kept hidden away. Why? Probably because as per Falkirk Marks comment they stopped on the drive up.
At bit sweary..

46 pages of bike from the Singletrack lefties and you still haven’t worked out that he’s going nowhere.
good, it's a nice easy stick for Starmer to beat blojo with week in week out until the next GE

I can't recall any bikes on the previous 46 pages.

Well that's unlikely to have happened.. at least in the forums anyway

It's not political. In general I'd be happy for this Government to be discredited, but it's in the national interest to maintain the credibility of the anti-covid restrictions. And until the Government stop defending Cummings his actions will be used as justification for breaches of the restrictions, and infection rates will go up.
Of course he’s going nowhere… many of us “lefties” said so from page 1, and stuck to it. He’s running the country, so that Johnson can enjoy having the title of PM. How many days off did Johnson take after the election have before getting ill? Why did we not need an interim PM to take decisions while he was ill? Cummings is running the shop… Johnson just has to occasionally take a few pep pills before delivering a blustering TV advert.
Anyway, a view on Monday’s nonsense…

And Jan Moir, and the Daily Mail, and the entire scottish tory party, and so on and so on, yes it's all lefties. Fact is it has gone somewhere, it's caused massive damage even if he has hung on. Certainly caused more damage to the party and to Johnson than if he'd quit or apologised, and painted pretty much the whole cabinet with the same shitty brush.
Seems Blojo missed his classics lecture on Pyrrhic.

Nah most of us said from the start that Johnson didn't have the courage to fire him
But you've fallen into the same trap Cummings did after the story broke
He assumed it was just a lefty Westminster bubble thing
It wasn't & as Northwind pointed out the condemnation has come from all sides
Importantly it's busted the myth of Johnson & Cummings being against the elites, now everyone can see they are the elites
& like poll tax & Iraq war, they didn't bring down the PM immediately but they became their political epitaths
RIP Johnson & Cummings, men of the people
I know this isn't a meme thread, but I don't think I have seen anything that encapsulates what has gone on in this country over the last couple of years (and weeks) so succinctly as this.

One job. They gave you one job. One post, just one trolling post designed to get people's backs up.
And you couldn't even spell it right.
Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!
Mr Cummings says "write out 100 times 'bile not bike'". Should keep you busy for a week.
Thanks for conforming to the stereotype, though. 🤣🤣🤣
HIGNFY just spent 1/2 an hour laying into him. I don’t disagree, because I’m a rational human, but it won’t appease the ‘MSM are bullying and twisting everything’ ‘BBC bias’ nutters.
It's undefendable though
You can't call bullying as a defence after all your lies have failed
It’s the cold light of truth … persistently shining it at the lies isn’t bullying. If any BBC satirist was thinking of holding back, the apology by the news department for Matlis saying it as it is would have put paid to that.
It’s what the tories are going for though, if the response from my MP is anything to go by...
The Last Leg watched HIGNFY and said "hold my pint"
Absolutely superb destruction of Cummings and Boris.
Have I Got News was hilarious tonight and I normaly find it a bit tedious but they deservely ripped Cummings to pieces and said what everyone has been thinking
It's almost like being bumbling and incompetent and then just lying and lying about it will let them achieve their original goal....
As of now (then) this and the thread entitled ‘Boris Johnson’ both have 1832 posts. Who will win or will they morph into the same thing...
Dom thread certainly packing the momentum.

I’ll think you’ll find it was Jeremy who had Momentum on his side 👍
Arrggghhh - looks like BInners has won his bet. 36 hours to go but I am no longer confident!
Lochinver pie Binners?
https://piesbypost.co.uk/index.html
Edit - looks like they have stopped mail order for now
HIGNFY wasbrilliant, and a reassurance that not everything is totally screwed just yet after the Maitlis scandal - I will make time to watch The Last Leg.
Stephen Merchant's opening line on Last Leg had a coffee / floor interfacing effect.
Totally inappropriate, 100% funny.
Yep, Merchant was very funny last night.
The "what does 2m look like" was very informative
Corbyn would have driven to Edinburgh.
Don’t kick yourself. You just assumed this country had a shred of decency left.
I'm not kicking myself. Just upset that it looks like I have to feed binners!
@BillMC - you're hilarious. Are you Geoff Norcott?
I'll bet you think the press are hounding Cummings but the worst treatment that Corbyn got for years was fair game. Muppet
ES you must not to take me so literally
I was always confident of the bet TJ. Its obvious. These lot are absolutely shameless.
Given the choice between the safety of the nation or Dominic Cummings, our glorious leader was going to choose the poisen dwarf every time. Boris has never had an original thought in his life. He's a walking vacuum. He's outsourced his thinking to Classic Dom. He simply can't be without him as he's an empty vessel. And its not like he can look to his cabinet for ideas, because between the lot of them, they've never had one
I'm willing to wait for mail order to resume on the pie front 😀
I had to Google 'Geoff Norcott'.
Apologies. The point I was trying to make, in a short-hand sort of way, is that the government have surrounded themselves with advisors like Isaac Levison and (nameless) behavioural scientists to reduce politics to three words and an insult, and the exemplar for public discourse is the Christmas panto. Brexit means brexit, get brexit done, in this together, Hancock has introduced comedy, what used to be called surreal is now called the presser.
You're not a Muppet, just a naughty boy
😉
Yep look we all need to pull together over this and Get Covid done.
This continual attempt to portray reality as fact is stopping us from getting back to business and being world leading.
When it’s come to Covid no other government has managed it so well with our cast iron ring around the elderly and at risk groups and our world leading track and trace operation not forgetting our App Store world class leading app.
We’ve had a few hiccups along the journey but this government has proved time and time again in this Crisis that we are the people’s Government..
Now this is what you call a troll post 🙂
The gove LBC video of him about to say that he drives to test his eyes then suddenly realises that even he cant say it is my favourite defining moment of the Cumgate fiasco.

Only saw it yesterday for the first time - you can see the cogs turning as he realises he's been put in a position of lying and making a complete tit of himself to protect Cummings

Which begs the question. If he was an evil genius, don't we think he ought to have seen that one coming?
He looked medicated to me. Or pissed.

The rumour is Johnson is a real pisshead
