I’d also like to be a pound behind him, he ain’t doing too bad financially for a dick. It’s easy to criticise when you are the failed opposition. Cooper married to Ed Balls the same Cooper that wanted to thwart Brexit. . That was a total failure on her part right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains, if you stop to weigh it up you might just see that the Cummings saga is not political. Many Tory MPs and many more Tory voters think he should go. In fact, it looks like the only people making political points are the ones who blindly support Cummings actions and Johnsons support of him.

Media begin with over-reporting the fatality rate (4% here, 7% in Italy!) knowing full well the lack of testing was massively skewing the numbers, then the nonsense about panic buying despite the fact that supermarkets were largely coping. It was the most irresponsible kind of sensationalist reporting & most newspapers indulged. The lack of scrutiny of the Government, particularly on testing, excess deaths and the care home scandal has also highlighted the current weakness of serious journalistic standards and profile. But I agree this Government is bad. Not just weak or not ideal but downright appalling & the worst I can remember in my lifetime. Johnson & his merry band may well believe they can bluster away but in 4.5 years time, people will still remember not being able to see their loved ones pass away & not being able to go to their funerals whilst friends of the PM could do what they liked. This vile lot have sealed their own fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be better for him and Boris if he did. I do not watch the news much these days but just look at the bulletins on the News apps mostly. I do watch the briefings. I absolutely think Coronavirus has been disastrous and horrendous and heart breaking . To be honest it upsets me and I can’t wait for normal life to resume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saboteurs. That was the sort of thing they were called right? By newspapers that now support what they are saying on Cummings. I keep mentioning it but prominent Brexiteer Steve Baker has called for Cummings to go. And said he went too far during Brexit campaign: mentioned the bus, the Turkey leaflets, prorouging parliament. There are 18 names on that last too. Isn't it about 44 MPs saying he should go? Are they part of the #mediawitchhunt too. Or do they think supporting blatant lies is perhaps not a good look?

People keep mentioning the Daily Mail as evidence that the tide has turned against Boris, but didn't they appoint a pro-remain editor? Life is full of happy coincidences isn't it ? The majority of the media have got a massive axe to grind re. Brexit and Dominic Cummings in particular, I imagine the sphere you move in may determine how big of an issue this is to you. The only way we'd know for sure is if there was an election tomorrow - but thats years away and it will be long forgotten by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
