All for Dom

On #C4News former CSA @Sir_David_King says unlock is wrong, that if we had this level of deaths at the start we would be locking down, that Dominic Cummings was wrong to travel, that govt handling of the pandemic has been "disastrous" with maybe 40,000 excess preventable deaths

Just a minor detail

This is significant. Track and trace has been deployed *without* an impact assessment, despite all the risks involved. It is being prepared (and hopefully published as was done with the app). Yet Art 35 GDPR requires a DPIA *before* processing commences. What a shambles. https://t.co/6jZaiyEy2Q

Yep Starmer has all the time in the world. This govt have proved they flounder when they have none

Wow

I thought this was a joke. But sadly not. Cummings' father in law

Both Kay Burley and Adam Boulton have asked about Witty and Valance this morning, both times the question was deflected (Hancock and Caroline Johnson), something’s definitely afoot

Edit Look at the state of Hancock, he’s laughing because he knows he’s truly ****

He’s just setting up the long con to dispute the results of the election

I don’t even know what to say anymore

“Dido Harding is a senior executive in the NHS” says Johnson.

Actually she’s a Telecoms executive, who had a brief stint at NHS Improvement. And is now inexplicably in charge of the ‘track and trace’ programme.

She’s also married to a Tory MP called John Penrose

Another load of bullshit or a convenient distraction from Hancock

Witty and Valance are still on the missing list for tonight’s press conference

@tomhoward they were supposed to be appearing with Boris yesterday

Also I wonder if there’ll be something in this

No Vallance or Whitty again…

— Michael Deacon (@MichaelPDeacon) May 26, 2020

I can’t see either of them lying on TV, if at all

Surely they can see how bad this looks, when he says people have to self isolate as their civic duty

Hopefully most of the questions tonight will be about the blog. I’m sure more of the story will unravel as well

Pleased to report confirmation of @metpoliceuk receipt of request to know if Cummings told of any security concerns in recent weeks, and assurance of proper attention. Am loathe to ask police to do this kind of thing, but the full truth of this episode must be established. 1/2

@ratherbeintobago just post the link and it embeds

Scottish Conservative leader @Jackson_Carlaw says it is time for Dominic Cummings to consider his position. It is now a huge distraction for the Prime Minister, he says.

I have always said that politics is a team effort, not an individual one. Difficult times are ahead, which will require the Government to be able to deliver clear and credible public health messages. In the interests of us all, I hope this will still be possible. pic.twitter.com/R7hymZE843

I don’t think it’ll die anytime soon, no (serious) journalist is buying it

The only ones coming out to bat for him are those pair of **** Tom harwood and Darren Grimes also Guido and the usual right wingers

I would be sorry to see Dominic Cummings go. The Government would be weaker, and its opponents emboldened, as a result. But he ought to resign nevertheless.

:D

Dominic Cummings is expected to give a public statement and take questions later himself, as calls for him to quit and explain himself mount

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) May 25, 2020

From the horses mouth, so to speak

I hope he comes out punching

@root-n-5th @Alpha1653 Its not my letter but my story is similar. I buried my Dad 10 days ago at a funeral with only 10 people and only got to see him once during lockdown, two-days before he died

Its stories like mine, Alpha’s, that letter writers and countless others which, I hope will ultimately bring the whole thing crashing down

My local MP is Sir Mike Penning, i dont think Ive got it in me to write to him as any reply that doesnt say he wants him gone will kick up my anger levels another notch

DE all the way an initial investment of £50 will last you ages. I bought a Merkur 33C, 100 Astra blades a half decent brush and a just used 69p Palmolive shave sticks and apart from the sticks it lasted 3 1/2 years

Now I’m using a 34C and feathers

It’s increasingly looking like they’re a package deal. PM unambiguously coupled his fate to Cummings today

100% they’re fates are now inextricably tied.

I’m stilll gobsmacked by Boris’s defence, how are they going to react to the inevitable swarms of people gathering at beaches and parks today

It is intolerable that Boris’ government is losing so much political capital. Three changes are immediately required:

1 – Govt needs competitive expert advice

2 – Govt must insist on high software engineering standards

3 – Dominic Cummings must gohttps://t.co/zUOCVcDAmN

On tomorrow’s show @grantshapps will be responding to the Dominic Cummings story on behalf of the government.

He may understandably not know all of the details we ask for. So we’re taking the unusual step of flagging in advance some of the questions @SophyRidgeSky will ask (1/4)

They need to kill this overnight or the lockdown/govt is finished

NEW: more from Durham Police pic.twitter.com/bAdVU6bz5E

— Charlotte Ivers (@CharlotteIvers) May 23, 2020

Durham Police absolutely doubling down tonight – they’ve taken the unusual step of naming Mr Cummings, and set out their conversation with his father.

Downing Street’s earlier statement said that Mr Cummings’s family had not been contacted by police.

— Charlotte Ivers (@CharlotteIvers) May 23, 2020

Lying Cummings hasn't just guaranteed he's now toast, he's also trashed the credibility of every senior cabinet minister that rushed to support him breaking the lockdown.
They're all busted flushes now.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 23, 2020

Our prime minister speaks, and is also correct

It’ll never be dismissed, some of the sacrifices people have made are crazy

Not everyone got furloughed or still worked and drove 10+ miles a day to ride a bike

Any orange FS

The spectator has gone in hard Spectator

He’ll be gone as this story will never die. As loads of other people will have a story similar to mine

I wrestled for weeks whether to go and see my Dad and finally broke lockdown to see him, two days before he died. In the previous weeks he wasn’t talkative as he’d mentally checked out so I had loads of wasted oppertunities to go and see him. Then he was buried with 10 people in attendance

**** Dominic Cummings

I was wondering when titaniumtit would appear on here after being perma banned from Pinkbike

Get the Stitched 360 Canyon

Canyon now do splitit so pay over 6months, I’ve got one and it’s insanely good. Rose the Bruce is also another decent option, the fork alone is worth £320 Rose

^

It’s already happening, it’s come down from on high that when we return to work (some already have) that any complaints about working conditions will be frowned upon

I’ve no idea how half the posters on this forum manage to exist day to day

A bunch of middle aged gravel bike riders mansplain on women’s MTB issues

The fact that Big-Bud’s daughter used his account to write a thoughtful post and it’s been ignored says it all

Pinkbike supports female cycling way more than here

MBUK It got an 8/10, theres only one worthwhile brake test and thats the Enduro one

Best brake if Swinley is the peak of your riding, I guess

Never change STW someone comes for a Cura4 or Dominion opinion and gets recommended Mt-Trail, MT-5, Deore, Cura2 and Code R

Theres a reason Saint, RSC, MT7, Cura4 and Dominion are better brakes by far than the above
