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

Rory Stewart is streets ahead of Boris when it comes to intelligence and common sense. He's one of a very short list of MPs that I would actually like to meet.

BORIS JOHNSON IS 'THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED LIAR IN PUBLIC LIFE', SAYS EX-CABINET COLLEAGUE

Ex colleague Rory Stewart just confirming what many of us already knew.

Thankyou Whitewavemk2.
Once again Boris is insulting the British people if he has finally got rid of Cummings because of 'princess nut nuts'.
People have died alone families have grieved alone vulnerable people have spent months isolated unaware of whythey have no visitors; people are losing so much financially they may never recover from this - yet this has been BoJo's tipping point. He is a disgrace.
I enjoyed reading Rory Stewert's review of Boris's biography. There is a man who knows Boris.

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?

“A young woman hanging on to an older man”

Why would she need to ? Excuse me for finding that post a tad sexist........

I do wonder if this coincides with Joe Biden winning the Presidential election? Biden is very pro-Ireland, and if we want a trade deal with the USA, Biden will insist on no hard border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic (which would, of course, break the Good Friday agreement - which Johnson seemed about to do). Johnson seems to be clearing out his Leave team - perhaps in preparation for more compromise on the EU trade deal? We can only hope.

Where did that splendid invective come from, WwMk2?

All extraordinarily convenient for the architects of the glorious exit from the EU who will not be about to steer the country/government/PM through the ultra smooth waters about to lap at our shores in January.

Maybe he’ll head off back to Russia, but then he’d miss all the glorious Brexit “benefits” wouldn’t he?

I agree with Pattie47. Exit was staged managed. Also, usually they release official confirmation of someone leaving their post. There has been no official confirmation, such as a letter from Boris thanking Dom for all his hard work etc etc.
Until I see official confirmation from Downing Street, as far as I'm concerned, he has not resigned, nor been sacked.

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?

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

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?

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.

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!

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?

Doodlebug. Well said. We know nothing.

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.

" .... I have more confidence in the Downing Street cat."



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

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??

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

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.

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

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

She must feel at home now

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