Sadly nothing to celebrate, as his contributions to British life will be felt for generations.Tweet

She starts with the premise that 80% of the baying electorate are pitchfork carrying half-brains and ends a message placating the sensible folks.I'm confused by Kuenssberg's tweets. Does she start with the premise that her source isn't Cummings before giving it up in the next sentence, or is she pretending like she has another source who for some reason she's decided to quote even though Cummings has told her he's off himself?
No! It’s full of his ideas!Strong chance that box is empty.
He'd need a pretty thick skin to take that job though, having been shat on from a great height so quickly last time.resigned because he didn't agree with Cummings
I laughedBoris will be lost without his puppetmaster.
He won't know if his Cummings is goings.

I think the leadership itself is more important there, but this itself is probably a step in that direction given Stratton is now taking more control.Is this Cummings thing not just a continuation of the Tory strategy manufacturing artificial 'end-of-era' moments which allow them to distance themselves from things they did wrong 'before the change' and capitalise on a repeated 'Honeymoon' periods?
e.g - Johnston's Tories being presented as a clean break from the exact same Tories under May, and under Cameron, except now it's post-Cummings Tories as a clean break from Cummings Tories?

If anyone believed that Cummings line that is.BoJo looks weak now, making decisions based on what his gf tells him
They were and still are very much The Nasty Party.Is this Cummings thing not just a continuation of the Tory strategy manufacturing artificial 'end-of-era' moments which allow them to distance themselves from things they did wrong 'before the change' and capitalise on a repeated 'Honeymoon' periods?

Don't like Nigel, but he's probably right as to the reason for his resignation

There might be a little bit of truth in that. Biden is an Irish American, proud of his roots and is very much adamant if UK feck Ireland over, there’s no trade deals to be hadSo Boris is resetting himself and the party to welcome in the Biden Administration.

As opposed to ????BoJo looks weak now, making decisions based on what his gf tells him
Man I wish I could photoshop, what an opportunity.
I should have said “weaker”As opposed to ????
You wonder how he could be seen as less incompetent at this stage.I should have said “weaker”
Sadly I think this is true. We have to follow the lead of the US whomever is president. In this case it’s for the best ultimately given the crappy trade deal BoJo was under pressure to sign under Trump and the softer Brexit that will likely occur. Hopefully we’ll also see an end to the aggressive and subversive Trumpian tactics they were using too.So Boris is resetting himself and the party to welcome in the Biden Administration.
Fair point. Especially an administration that will perceive any infringement on the Good Friday Agreement negatively.So Boris is resetting himself and the party to welcome in the Biden Administration.
Seems an inevitable consequence of a political system where 3/4 of PMs since the 1720s come from the same two Universities and a huge number of the leading figures in politics did exactly the same university course:The nepotism at the heart of British Government
BBC doing the Tories' PR for them yet again with the headline of their lead story today.Is this Cummings thing not just a continuation of the Tory strategy of manufacturing artificial 'end-of-era' moments which allow them to distance themselves from things they did wrong 'before the change' and capitalise on repeated 'Honeymoon' periods?
