Dominic Cummings has left No.10.....

Might this have something to do with Mr Cummings' departure: www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/cummings-sonia-khan-tens-of-thousands-employment-tribunal_uk_5fae4908c5b6370e7e31dac0

Everybody seems to forget BoJos landslide 11 months ago. Who could replace him? surely not Gove?
I just feel the country has been played for fools.
It's a disgusting shambles.
I had more confidence in Teresa May.
I have more confidence in the Downing Street cat.

As I said earlier, I don't believe he's actually 'gone'.

It was all beautifully staged, wasn't it? All the press and TV cameras just 'happened' to be in Downing St. as Cummings just 'happened' to leave by the front door ( there are other exits, you know) carrying a cardboard box (a classic 'empty your desk' image) still wearing his No. 10 pass (wouldn't they have taken that off him?)

Much more to this than we are being fed...

New puppet master next, I'm sure the Downing Street cat would do a better job ??

This is old, but it made me laugh

Whole thing set up in terms of leaving photos. Don't trust them at all. Who leaves with a cardboard box? He could have used the back door. There are reasons for this which we don't yet know. Grim

Who leaves with a cardboard box?

The answer is: many people. I have seen it myself IRL.

I am beginning to think you have something there .

If you think about it someone has definitely been s...t stirring lately. Look at the “leak” about the lockdown.

I reckon it is Gove. Cummings and Gove go way back and I can see in the event of Johnson’s resignation after the new year chaos and vaccine shambles that will result in port holdups etc , Gove will be poised to take on the leadership along with Cummings as backup

So is Carrie elected ? Or is she someone we should be worried about?I know she’s a young woman hanging onto to an older man but I don’t know else anything about her. Should we worry?

I think Carrie got sacked from her last job( in the Tory party) so a shoe in for the next taxpayer funded consultancy post.

Symonds was sacked for incompetence and over claiming on her expenses.

She must feel at home now

Unfortunately, I agree with Doodledog and the Others who think this departure has been 'staged'. Still wearing his security tag? Well spotted.

If you don't object to bad language, then Janey Godley has just put up a new clip on YouTube re D.C. walking out. She's been doing very funny Nicola Sturgeon briefing ones all year. Some of her animal ones are also brilliant, as are her Donald Trump ones. JG is hugely popular up here in Scotland, a genuinely funny woman.
I'm another who thinks his walking out looks staged.

If it is all staged, it just shows what contempt he holds us all in.

Looks wicked, acts wicked, is too "weirdo and misfit" for the job.
My brother read," Eagle" comic in the 1950s featuring Dan Dare and The Mekon...whatever happened to him??

Well, this is what happens if people vote on one issue only. Johnson had no programme beyong his stupid 'get Brexit done'

Cummings is supposed to be incredibly intelligent - & Carrie is very clever too. Her objections to Cummings & the other one who resigned are supposed to be largely behind the rows & brewing tension. The press have been aware of the shenanigans for days & I expect they've been virtually camped outside no.10 so they wouldn't miss anything. Cummings contract finishes next month, which is why he'll be working from home. Even if he was asked to leave by the back door I doubt he'd have complied.

I think quite frankly that their cleverness is spin, much like Johnson. None of them live up to their PR.

Doodlebug. Well said. We know nothing.

I just wonder what they are all doing in and out of No 10 with no social distancing or masks! I mean I know Boris has had it but what about the rest of the staff? Did Cummings put on a mask when the taxi he phoned for turned up? Or is that just something the rest of us have to do?

It's not just any old box, (nor even an M&S one) it's a box which staff around the world are given when they have to clear their desks and leave immediately. His little "look at me" moment leaving No. 10 was rather ruined, I thought, by his later appearance outside his own front door, when he'd quickly reverted to his homeless person image, wandering back from the Deli with carrier bags filled with champagne and wearing the world's most tired-looking trackie bottoms.
Glad he's gone!

Who’s in charge, Boris or Carrie? Hope it is Carrie, we could do with a woman’s common sense and less ego!

I'd agree if she had been elected.

Johnson backed Cummings over his lying about driving to Barnard Castle, yet sacked him for calling his girlfriend “ Princess Nut Nuts”. Can this be true?

Are we sure he’s left?
Can we believe anything we re told?
Is it a ploy? it all seems too smooth to me and dare I say a bit staged
Does Johnson know how unpopular Cummings is and is being ‘seen’ to do the right thing or more likely Carrie has ‘given him advice on how to become a hero’
I don’t trust ANY. Of then

Did anyone hear the interview with the deputy chair if the 1922?

I’ve never heard such rubbish!

“Now that Cummings and Cain have gone we’ve got our dear Boris back where he belongs, in the heart of the party”

Dear oh dear .

It was Johnson’s choice to have Cain and less able at the head of the No 10 strategy, he stood by as throughout the leave campaign, the seeds of myth and division were sown and flourished, resulting in a country divided as never before.

Johnson stood by when lies were told and hyperbole rife, to the point that trust has now never been so low by a population of its government.

Johnson’s year of government has been one of u turns and incompetence with corruption and cronyism rampant. Family and friends, donors and supporters have had billions of our pounds pour into their coffers as nothing was delivered, or it was so piss poor it was unusable.

Johnson stood by when the Cummings the rule maker broke the rules, then lied about breaking them and watched as Cummings lined his family’s pockets with tax payers money.

Johnson watched as Cummings tried to trash the institutions for which the U.K. has been admired and copied throughout the centuries. He allowed 5 good civil service heads with years of experience to fall back on to be replaced by Cummings preference.

Johnson stood by as Cummings began to tackle the Military heads, the MOD and intelligence service. What on earth does Cummings know about these institutions? Bugger all.

Johnson stood by when the media was “disciplined” for giving the wrong message or being off message, by refusing interviews or not being invited to attend press conferences.

Authoritarianism and division, has characterised Johnson’s government, and the Tory party are pleased he’s back in the fold!!!

Johnson has been responsible for everything and oversaw it all with approval until what?

His latest squeeze being called “Princess nut nuts” That he will not tolerate. Those responsible must go!

It is the stuff of everything we have previously despised in leadership.

How on earth can Johnson be considered fit for the post of Prime Minister?
