What a lot of power Dominic Cummings thinks he has...

Totally my words too Chewbacca.
A man with a grudge.

Sarnia, the suspicion has to be that he knew too much about Boris....and was very involved in the Leave campaign as mentioned by westendgirl so possibly BJ continued partly because of that. Who knows? Personally, I've never had time for BJ and hope he gets what he deserves.

n 1971, President Lyndon Johnson said of a dangerous rival: "It's probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in." Hmmm?

Cummings: nasty sleezebag! Massive chip on his shoulder since his sacking. He should be completely ignored.

Bit rude, Mummer. I worked in a very 'real world' with people enduring the worst of times, but never found it necessary to accumulate recordings or data as an insurance against...what? You are/must have been terribly important. The rest of us are clearly 'f**k wits* (sigh)

I worked in the real world too and accumulated nothing that might bring others down. I wouldn’t have dreamed of doing something so deceitful and dishonest. Someone who does that is either insecure or treacherous, or both.

Chewbacca I could have written exactly the same. Odious little weasel.

I dislike Cummings as much as any Gransnetter does and of course he has an agenda and wants to do Johnson as much damage as he can. But that doesn't mean he isn't telling the truth! He has loads of inside information, including emails and messages and photos and I for one say if he is going to expose Johnson for the nasty piece of work he is, bring it on! (It doesn't matter that Cummings is also a nasty piece of work, in my opinion).

Vile man yuk! Those eyes look so menacing and make me shudder ! Proven liar and rule breaker himself (which a high percentage of the public condemned at the time- media included) should be given zero airtime. It’s sour grapes and retaliation for his sacking. I am definitely not condoning BJ in the slightest as I believe he should have stepped down from office immediately this disgusting revolution was unveiled, but as someone else said on this thread pot and kettle spring to mind.

I wonder, does it matter what his personality is like or if he has an agenda, if what he is saying is true?

So boris wife does run the government then !! Just as I thought !

That Dominic Cummings still wields power and is hell bent on destroying BJ is quite the most extraordinary part of this whole Sorry chapter in British political history
Machiavellian and narcissistic ,a toxic mix, he should be banished from the media and never heard of again

My thoughts exactly. It's said he was the architect of getting BJ elected and getting Brexit done. You don't have to like him to believe him.

Cummings and Johnson are both habitual liars, but when they contradict each other, one of them must be right.

Can't believe how many people have passed on photos
Did they think I can make money from these.Why did they not complain they went to a party at the beginning Seem to be a lot of users like Cummings around

I expected Sur Gray to be more sensible.

This has given me one of the best laughs of the day

Oh dear, kwal. Did you think that she would completely exonerate Johnson? What a disappointment.

She's a proper civil servant, honest and objective. She reported what she found.

As they've passed them to the police I doubt if they'll make any money from them in the foreseeable future.

Couldn't agree more - Cummings knows where all the bodies are buried; if Johnson had done nothing wrong, there would be nothing to report. If Cummings has more dirt on Johnson ( and I wouldn't be surprised) then we need to know. As dolphindaisy said, we don't have to like Cummings to believe him.

When you know you know ..and he does. He was the brains behind Brexit and the brains behind Boris who is not the brightest despite his various literary quotes and analogies . Cummings was up against it trying to make impactful changes at government and then he was up against Mrs Johnson who is an ambitious and dominant character in her husbands life. Cummings is not likeable .. but he’s clever ..spiteful ..not really ..just spilling the beans to expose what we all know..don’t let an opinion of his persona or his castle trip cloud our judgement or diffuse the seriousness of this prime minsters inadequacy for the job ... Cummings knows more than anyone the truth I believe.

Cummings is an unusual personality, but no matter how dim Johnson is, he recognised a fellow Machiavellian traveller. He thought he could use Cummings, as he did with the Brexit campaign. He misjudged how long he could use his companion without the snake turning on him.

I agree Tigger - he’s doing the country a favour. The more he can say to discredit Boris the better. Thank goodness he had the sense to put everything in writing.

Don’t like the man but hope he’s got something left to reveal which Boris can’t wriggle out of.

I’ve suddenly realised DC looks like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. ?

You’re insulting Gollum there!

How right you are Germanshepherdsmum ?
