The first revelation could be excused with enough brass neck and lack of scruples. This evening's additions (beautifully played giving him time to lie like **** and his minister flunkies time to makes themselves look like total bellends) makes any further binal excuses look utterly ridiculous.
My only concern - making sure the public does the right thing right now is bigger than being the most winningest at politics. As much as I want to see Cummings reamed out in a way I kind of wish it hadn't come out.

@Inbred456 And the day trip to Barnard Castle
Jeremy Corbyn in a beanie, L'Abbott pretending to be his wife. Car with false numberplates supplied by Nicola Sturgeon.
There were no bluebells. None.....
So Megamind has been rumbled by an almost classic newspaper sting beautifully, beautifully timed to let him hang himself.
By the very journos "that got Brexit wrong".
It's pretty delicious and really shows that in all this, his own worst enemy is himself. Or rather the huge arrogance he can't help but exude.
My only sorrow is that we have such a symbolic adviser and government during a national crisis.😟
...and where is Poundland Trump?
Working out his maintenance payments?
^^Shagging I would think.
I believe It's his solution to any problem.
@crikey He’d have to work out how many kids he has first.
And has been said before, he’s not a Poundland Trump. He’s a Poundland Berlusconi.
Here's my theory on the 'None of his family spoke to the police.' depends on how you measure his family. Him, his wife and child. Factually correct but....
Lies trip off his tongue as easily as Boris's, actually they are probably the same lies, just a different mouth piece. I see cakes in TJ' s near future. Sorry Binners.
I'm starting to think that the little shyster actually might be sacked over this...
I delved into social media a few minute back (something I only do once a month or so as it's so toxic) and it's fair to say that the mood is scathing.
Hard to see how the attorney general can stay on too, tbh.

Exactly. He did not have sexual relations with his family.

One can but dream.
Anyway, properly cheered me up. People will remember this.
You have to wonder if all the muppets (ministers) trotted out to defend the shite are feeling right now? Or do they even realise how stupid they look

All she had to do was stay quiet....I'm guessing she was following orders to support the little turd. You would like to think she would have known better.
Honestly? How did this bunch come to run the country?
@Northwind That’s making me nostalgic for the days when politicians had a sense of shame and resigned when they’d screwed up (or sometimes just screwed).
ITV news about to start, I'll be tuning in.
BBC now reporting the allegations of the 2nd visit on their website. Hopefully all those trotted out to defend him earlier will realise they had been duped and the only chance of maintaining an integrity (which in reality they never had) is to turn on Cummings, preferably publically.
I'd be very disappointed if he isn't sacked or resigns. It would signal a real decline in standards.
its so amateur hour though. why didn't they just kick into touch with "holiday leave" and an "Official" investigation by the cabinet secretary ? with a whitewash "no action" result in a couple of months.
Regarding the latest allegations, one would assume that if untrue it would be quite straightforward for DC to provide proof of his whereabouts (e.g.London) on the dates suggested to a sympathetic news outlet? I await tomorrow’s press with interest
@kimbers If these stories are inaccurate, I take it Dom will be suing the Guardian and Mirror for libel? 😛
...campaigning newspapers...
Like that's a bad thing
Interesting to see number 10 doubling down...
This could get real messy.
Rather than clapping every Thursday, can we change it to going out and booing the Conservatives every Monday?
Daily mail is classic, they've got a pic of him literally using his son as a human shield, which he has been through the day
+ Johnson can only relate to anything in terms of shagging around

Johnson saying "it's not like he went for a shag."
Is that actually criticism?😉
Durham Police absolutely doubling down tonight

Starting to look a lot like plebgate. Especially when you look at who the Durham acting PCC is.
It's been the government standard tactic during this crisis though, see also the ventilator mess and denial.
Dom will be suing the Guardian and Mirror for libel?
Hopefully with the same outcome as plebgate.
“it’s not like he went for a shag.”
blojo is a compulsive liar, so we have to assume that exactly what he did do.
"Dom sends himself 250 miles during lockdown. Let's send him early retirement instead."
Now who's got a ****ing big red bus?
That tweet by Simon Young deserves to be trending, even though it is 12 days old 🤔

Please make this a thing!
The problem is that most of the Thursday clappers are Brexit/Boris voters just trying to look good on Facebook etc.
My wife is a nurse and the first week the woman opposite was out clapping and thanking her but she is a serial lockdown breaker, loads of visitors and she has been away somewhere since Thursday.
Says quite a bit about him that he had no one within 250 miles that could help with childcare.
What, apart from the brother and sister living in London?
Our unofficial motto at Durham School is ‘Confidence for Life’.
Appears to have a spelling mistake as it says life not lies!
It’s not just ministers. Just about every Tory MP has been following orders from number 10 to be openly, vocally supportive of the poison dwarf.
I’m not writing my bet off just yet. I can see them doubling down on this and trying to brazen it out. They’ve put so much on the line already.
One things for sure... Dominic Cummings career is of far more importance to this gang of ****s than the people who’ve died today of Covid 19
Maybe he's never given up on the herd immunity plan
And is personally trying to spread it as far & wife as possible
Find on gov are apparently dubbing him Calamity Cummings.

That's the real tragedy and that's what should be the nations first concern.
Utterly surreal being alive in these times.
I hope he dies.
I’m being sincere.

you missed the “slowly in excruciating pain” suffix
Starting to look a lot like plebgate. Especially when you look at who the Durham acting PCC is.
Numerous independent witnesses have spotted Cummings out and about in the North East.
The Mirror and Guardian have shown great timing… giving the government the time to construct an excuse for the first bit of spreading behaviour and put it about… before moving onto the second occurrence… and the lack of a response to the second accusation suggests the government now know that a third one could be coming, and don’t want to make the same mistake again.
Cummings is going nowhere though. Well, he’ll be kept out of the public eye if they can find a way, but he’ll keep his role no matter what. A brief spell away from the government will come about 18 months away from the next election to research the approach to use for that election, but the umbilical cord between the “World King” and the man that got and keeps him there will not be cut.
Yep
Even by some miracle, if Johnson had to sack him
Hed just be in the back seat pulling the strings, plenty of dodgy donors happy to fund him on the quiet
