Unless no 10 can manage to placate Cummings or at least put a lid on him, his appearance at next months select committee on the governments response to the covid emergency should be interesting.

Anyone know how close he still is to Gove?

As if - nothing will finish Johnson off.

All the awful things that Johnson has done and yet it looks as though the thing that might finish him is the money he spent on his flat.

Use =lose < sigh>

None’s got anything to use because Johnson can do whatever he wants and his supporters will lap it up.

Cummings has nothing to lose really, has he.

Here is the Demonic attack in full:

I especially like this bit, from the man who drove to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight...

It is sad to see the PM and his office fall so far below the standards of competence and integrity the country deserves.

I love Demonic.

Suggested paper headline tomorrow (not mine). "Hit by the Atom Dom".

I always think of him as the 'slithy Gove', though I'm sure that is doing the original a disservice...

Perhaps Dilyn had him for breakfast one day and has buried his bones somewhere in Carrie's newly decorated flat....

Isn't Gove still in Israel ?

Demonic and Carrie Antoinette

Well, that's given me the biggest laugh of the day.

Thanks, suziewoozie

Interesting!

GrannyGravy13 Fri 23-Apr-21 20:29:23

The most terrifying thing is that Mr.Gove has been extremely quiet...

suziewoozie Fri 23-Apr-21 20:05:23

And remember the third person in this dysfunctional relationship - apparently the hatred between Demonic and Carrie Antoinette is
the stuff of legends. Apparently D has blogged that it was one of her friends who leaked the news about the coming lockdown in the autumn which some argue, increased the number of cases. CA, DC and BJ are as foul a trio of people as could ever be imagined.

Yes, they can both be idiotic. Cummings drove 200 miles to get an eye test and Johnson managed to finish up in Intensive Care with Covid.
Not quite as idiotic as people who voted for them though...

Galaxy Fri 23-Apr-21 19:52:03

Surely they cant both be so idiotic, a fight between the two can only be incredibly damaging to both of them.

Sarnia Fri 23-Apr-21 19:34:45

I wondered when Cummings would be making himself known again. He went a bit too quietly. He must have a fair bit of insider knowledge on several issues. Strap yourself in. It may be a bumpy ridegrin

I still don’t understand why someone would be asked to manufacture ventilators when they had no experience of such things and they were needed immediately. Or not really as it soon became apparent that oxygen and c pap machines were far more beneficial. To be quite honest the sleaze revelations of the past few days have left me totally confused as to who did what, who texted who etc etc. Even more confused when I turn on the tv and there’s Johnson kicking a football round a football pitch. Either the worlds gone totally mad or I have.

Demonic has suggested that Mr Johnson has been not entirely honest about his communications with James Dyson.

I recognise many people believe Mr J was ‘doing his best for the country in a pandemic’ when he offered to sort the tax for Mr Dyson. But, do we want ethical government or not?
