Cummings is going nowhere. This will blow over and be forgotten because we need to get brexit done (tm).
A lot of people did.Some people did.
Certainly not me.A lot of people did.
You’re getting done all right.Cummings is going nowhere. This will blow over and be forgotten because we need to get brexit done (tm).
It kind of felt like there was producer stood in front of him frantically telling him to wrap it up.He‘s cut that seriously short hasn’t he?!
Who and how will he be removed?Beyond getting brexit done I don’t see what else Boris has to offer. His mandate was paper thin. I dint see him lasting
All depends on how many leavers can get separate their emotional gratification for BrExit and with their rage for flouting lockdown rules.Boris has been absolutely dreadful here. Will be fascinating if his poll ratings drop after this. Feels like a ‘moment’.
With no Brexit to unite them, the Tory party will begin to bicker and pull in different directions once Brexit is no longer the focus of all discussions.Who and how will he be removed?
Unfortunately, no PMQs this week.Crazy argument from Johnson that. The “fathers instinct” line implies that a) he did break the rules and so undermines his own argument that he didn’t and b) implies all parents who let their kids have a hard time by following the rules are bad parents. Bizarre decision to run with that. Labour must be delighted, this looks like it’ll run til PMQs.
Pity. Still good for Labour if it keeps running.Unfortunately, no PMQs this week.
Oh boy. This one is going viral.
Especially rich coming from Johnson, who has all the fatherly instinct of a randy gelada monkey.Crazy argument from Johnson that. The “fathers instinct” line implies that a) he did break the rules and so undermines his own argument that he didn’t and b) implies all parents who let their kids have a hard time by following the rules are bad parents. Bizarre decision to run with that. Labour must be delighted, this looks like it’ll run til PMQs.
Well worth the P45 they'll be getting
Unfortunately not the sacking the government should be making today.
Well... someone is getting their P45 tomorrow haha.

I am going to make a semi clever comment on Twitter.When you see what Trump has gotten away with this is really small potatoes. They don't give a feck.
What are you gonna do about it anyway?
Woah. I wonder if that person had already handed their resignation before tweeting!Tweet

I might have been inclined to say I wish he had died but would never utter such a thing for fear of a ban.Honestly cannot believe the brass neck of Johnson. Useless cnut would be less damaging if he was still in his hospital bed. And don’t fecking reply saying I have made an inappropriate comment. Tell that to all the poor people who’ve lost loved ones because of the bungled policy and behaviour from this government.
I think you are being way too kind to Boris. He’s pissed off because he’s a self serving twat.The telling thing in that interview I believe was Johnson's palpable irritation. It's quite clear he knew that he was on the wrong side of the argument, and he recognised the absurdity of the position he has been compelled to adopt due to the hubris and misjudgement of his puppet-master. That's why he was so irritated at the questions and any attempts to follow up, because he knows his bluster can only hold for so long. Any serious scrutiny and it will be exposed so he cannot permit it to happen.
I think the press conference will backfire, too. I fail to see how that will win over people to the side of Cummings, and that is what Johnson needed to do, because it's evident they are on the backfoot when it comes to the opinion of the majority of the public and the media. The arrogance and failure to engage with the details will enrage the journalists and ensure they pursue this until they get answers. I've never seen such a unanimity of opinion across the political spectrum, certainly not in recent years, as to the moral corruptness of the government's present position.
Ha, that too. Believe me, I do not intend for my assessment to be taken as some sort of sympathetic reading of Johnson. It's the fact he's in the firing line for someone else's actions, and he resents it. That's how I viewed it anyway. He comes from a position and background where he cannot fathom why he should be accountable to the common person for his own actions, so being in this position for someone else must be particularly grating.I think you are being way too kind to Boris. He’s pissed off because he’s a self serving twat.
