What a bloody mess. Jenrick a man of little principle and even more self awareness was talking over the interviewer on R4 this morning, telling her that this matter was only of importance to political journalists. Well, he obviously hasn't lifted the lid on GN! He was trying to convince everyone that the government was working night and day to deal with the biggest issue of the day; Covid, no mention of the looming disaster that is Brexit. Allegra Stratton by the way, is married to the political editor of The Spectator.

Someone needs to tell Boris where he is going wrong, he won’t listen to anyone else ! Re Cummings .... better late than never, he should’ve gone months ago when he 1st broke the lockdown rules !

it is indeed a mess at the time the country needs good gov't most, like New Zealand. What the heck does Carrie have to do with gov't? Since when was she elected? Does Boris actually do anything? He couldn't cope if DC or Carrie left could he? What a total shambles! I agree biba & MaizieD

Agree with you biba70
What an utter mess it all is.

Good girl Carrie. Get rid of Cummings he is poison!

With Carrie on this one for sure.

But what a mess, Covid out of hand and at the most crucial stage of getting a Deal with the EU, with 6 weeks to go- and they are spending all their energy and time fighting with each other.

This is diabolical and truly worrying.

DC won’t go imo but he’s a powerful mixture of both getting mad and getting even simultaneously.⚠️Carrie

Woo Boris being bossed about by Carrie and Allegra. Girl Power!!!!

Johnson wouldn't have a clue what to do if Cummings went.

Anyway, it was reported last night that he's hanging on to finish completely buggering up all institutions of government the job he started...

On the basis that “my enemy’s enemy is my friend ” I’d say “Go, girl” to Carrie.
PS I know it’s not true, the middle east has shown it all too clearly, but to see Cummings going (sorry) is too tempting.

If I were CS I wouldn’t leave little Wilfred unattended atm ( joke btw)

suziewoozie Thu 12-Nov-20 09:45:22

This is a tough one to take a principled stand on ????

Fight with Carrie. One aide has left. Cummings threatening to walk out (let him go was the cry!). But still. Why is she interfering? They're bad enough without WAGS getting involved.
