'The NHS was a smoking ruin, we had to give contracts out to our mates down the pub.'
Hancock is not his only target, he's trying to neuter Hunt politically.
As ever one is reminded of the wise words of Ms Mandy Rice-Davis. He would say that wouldn't he*?
*not the exact wording.
He’s a lying scheming shit and he has no regard for the truth.
+1.
He's a horrible, weasel faced prick. I'm not a violent person but could be changed If I could get to smack his face with a cricket bat.
He's also one of those who gets away with everything...
Surely he should be referred to by his proper title: “a former Downing Street Insider”
He always got away with murder because he knows where the bodies are buried.
I would think this is a shot across the bows along the lines of “just imagine what else I could tell them?”
I reckon if you left the current cabinet, Cummings and farrage in a rowing boat at sea for a couple of hundred days....well that'd do really
He always got away with murder because he knows where the bodies are buried.
Because he planned where they went, and stood by telling them how deep to dig the grave before they threw them in!
When the current govt's history is fully unravelled, the stories will haunt people for generations to come, just how much power can corrupt and how readily it can be bought, and how easy it is to control it from within with the use of just one single dedicatedly devious brain masterminding the play book already on your pay roll!
I would think this is a shot across the bows along the lines of “just imagine what else I could tell them?”
My only surprise so far is that Cummings is being so measured with his retribution... I had imagined that he would still be in his handler position currently to be fair, but that when he and Boris inevitably came to blows, the likelihood of him handing himself in to MI5 and doing a deal for total immunity in return for dishing all the dirt on the entire government was quite likely indeed!
I'm surprised it took the No.10 press office this long to come up with some-one (other than Johnson) to blame for this. The fact that the Telegraph, The Times and Sun are reporting it at the same time, stinks of briefings.
There is absolutely no way an odious shit like Cummings won't have taken out 'insurance'. Particularly when dealing with a lying, cowardly shit like Johnson.
Watching them try to do each other in could be great. What do we reckon? 'National Security' by move #3?
@dannyh the right wing press are currently working up a frenzy, suggesting Cummings and Johnson are literally going to “fight to the death” over this!
Now that’s actually something I would pay to see... 😂
I think they need to be very very careful, otherwise they could end up pressing Cummings’ “Nuclear” button, and he immediately effects whatever plan he has put in place (no doubt Gove would become PM in this), whilst throwing Johnson and most of the cabinet under the bus in exchange for total immunity!
Fun times ahead for sure!
Classic diversionary tactics. The press are now talking about Cummings instead of PPE corruption.
Maybe it needs a special inquiry team.
PPE corruption
That's a 'National Security' matter, I'm afraid.🤫
The Guardian on form...
"The only statement from Downing Street this week that I actually believe is the denial that cabinet secretary Simon Case ever told Johnson to change his phone number, the PM apparently having had the same one for more than a decade. Very wise advice. That phone’s like the ghost containment grid from Ghostbusters. If you switch it off, extremely bad things will happen. Even if he’s as mediocre a yes-man as he appears, Case will surely have worked out that the phone is basically the safest repository for innumerable entities who are best “managed” rather than fully ghosted. Attempting to shut down the phone completely could result in a vast release of potentially fatal psychokinetic energy to the Sunday newspapers."
"Dominic Cummings has launched an unprecedented and extraordinary attack on Boris Johnson, alleging the prime minister tried to quash a leak inquiry as it implicated an ally."
“It is sad to see the PM and his office fall so far below the standards of competence and integrity the country deserves,” Cummings said in a post on his personal blog.

He helped put the guy there! It’s not as if his lack of competence and integrity is news to anyone.
it's a country of shits, we get the government we deserve.
Klunk
it’s a country of shits, we get the government we deserve
I see people say this a lot and it's such a shitty comment. No one deserves the worst covid death rate in Europe or corrupt incompetence. Even the lowest of the low members of society deserve the best government available.
I think Dom underestimated the Tory party right wing by some distance- he assumed wrongly that he would remain in power as he had delivered vote leave, brexit and a Tory majority... and also assumed they would listen to him and his mate Lee, well * me it appears the big brain of Dom didn't see his demise coming.
Funny as * outwitted by the very folk he saved.
thepodge - what they deserve and what they vote for are not the same.
Poorly educated (in the broader sense) easily led and accepting of their fate.
I see people say this a lot and it’s such a shitty comment. No one deserves the worst covid death rate in Europe or corrupt incompetence. Even the lowest of the low members of society deserve the best government available.
yes they do, they vote for there own best interest and **** the rest. This for the most part is a country of selfish ****s.
My mood is still
I’m with Kimbers on this one. With two vindictive, morality-free chancers like this, surely this is just building up to the point where Dom ‘goes nuclear’
He knows where the bodies are buried, he’s a nasty bastard and he appears to be very very pissed off
It’s an irony that Boris employed him because he’s a nasty little shit, the same as him, and now he’s going to have that nasty little shit gunning for him

They really do deserve it. Even a cursory glance at what they were voting for would have told them they were asking for corrupt incompetence but they did it anyway. Is anyone really surprised at anything this Gov do or at the repeated failures of Johnson? Yet they won a thumping great majority.
The voters got what they asked for.
Dominic showing his true colours 🤣🤣🤣
Strange you never heard him objecting when he was on the inside,
Could develop into a lively tussle, and fingers crossed the conniving little turd ( enter name of choice here 🤔)will end up out of Downing Street never to stand a chance of getting back
Boris has folk advising him?, Christ.............I’m well and truly shocked.......I thought he was the personal mastermind of his own total ****ing incompetence but you now tell me there’s others out there in the wild who are just as ****ing clueless?.
Interesting.
Much as I hate and despise Boris, I'm not sure a Tory power struggle is in our interests at the moment.
But I'm very sure it's not in our interests to keep him in No. 10.
Rock, meet hard place.

Yup, and let’s have that well-worn shout" I blame Thatcher" or more, I blame the Thatcher government for putting in place the seeds that are now blooming .It’s a media fuelled boom time for…greed is good, look after number one, survival of the fittest, empathy is a weakness, bloody foreigners .Oh, and there was that well timed pandemic thing to use as a distraction for the absolute plane crash of anything resembling a government. It’s the biggest piss take in our political history and nobody is taking them to task,nobody.

Yep, open goals but no one wants to take the shot
Johnson’s defence today…
“Nobody cares about any of this…”
“Nobody could give a monkey’s…”
And while he’s wrong about “Nobody”, him banking on most people not caring seems sound. Why defend the indefensible? He knows many people expect all this shit from him and his government, and voted for them anyway. Few people are surprised. Even fewer will stop supporting him.

All of us who do care need to keep kicking up stink. There's more of us than we realise, but too many are silent
I'm with kelvin on this
Schadenfreude aside, the majority will still think Johnson is a lad
Boris Johnson’s senior advisor Eddie Lister is resigning
Who?

The best thing of all is that he essentially learnt this tactic from Dom didn't he, the student has become the bumbling master.
Chumocracy in action folks, we're living in interesting times...
Who?
Hes been with Johnson since London mayor days
Johnsons problem is that without someone to tie his shoes he will trip over his laces all day long.
He hates detail and diligence, Symonds/Stratton running the show now
yes they do, they vote for there own best interest and * the rest. This for the most part is a country of selfish *.
Qu’ell surprise. Care to show me a country that doesn’t?
Boris Johnson’s senior advisor Eddie Lister is resigning
Who?
Exactly! Dom was so high profile that he became the story. If there’s one thing Boris can’t stand it’s someone stealing the spotlight from ME, ME, ME!
... as the array of dullards and dimwits he’s stuffed the cabinet with amply demonstrates
They really do deserve it.
Who exactly are "they"?
I didn't vote for any of this shitshow yet I'm governed by the same lot.
Distraction, distraction, distraction. That's all it is. Look, a fluffy pink bunny in the garden!
It works on infants, and it works on the populace.
Bhutan ?
I looked in my garden and did'nt see the rabbit. Not a pink one anyway 🙁 Still hopeful 🙂

Totally, that whole super football league debacle didn't last long enough . so they had to create a new distraction.
He hates detail and diligence
Not knowing the name of the conservative mayoral candidate in Gloucestershire that he was campaigning for being a classic example
Vote for.... erm... err.... thingy whatsisname?
Anyone else would be mortified. Not our glorious leader. Oh no.... Just another day in Boris-land

They are the population. They had the chance to stop this and didn't. They live with the consequences.
You and I are 'They', just the collateral damage bit.
