End for Cummings ?

Gone by Xmas looks like.

See he's claiming he always planned to resign by Christmas anyway now 🙄. Just how gullible does he think people are? What a sad, pathetic, little narcissist.

Trump, Cummings, who next? That nasty, divisive project that’s blighted the US and UK for the past few years looks to be crumbling now.
Hopefully we can get on with repairing the damage done by the likes of Bannon, Farage, Trump, Cambridge Analytica and Cummings, who all seem to be linked in some way.
Politics of hate, fear and division should have no place in this world.
 
I agree zoo. Something about the untrustworthy snake not going straight away worries me. Like Trump over the pond, he can still do a lot of damage and steal A LOT of the nations money before he leaves
 
Laura Kuenssberg writes: A No 10 insider told me Mr Cummings "jumped because otherwise he would be pushed soon", suggesting that, in the last few days, the prime minister saw that the former Vote Leave team was just "in it for themselves".

Words fail me.

I wouldn't trust a word she says tbh. She tweeted this week that "I understand Boris Johnson was the first European leader to have a call from Biden", only for a load of people to provide easily obtainable documentary evidence from the White House that he was some way down the list, after Macron and Merkel. She's a government mouthpiece, nothing more, and if she's writing that it's because Johnson told her to.
 
To be honest my first thought was that Johnson was clearing out the euro sceptics in an attempt to get a last minute deal to facilitate a deal with the USA given Biden won the election. I understand that a trade deal with USA, even under Trump would have been problematic, but perhaps Johnson thought Trump could somehow force it through if he had won the election.

Johnson doesn't really care about the EU one way or the other and simply used the leave vote to get himself into no 10. I wonder now if he is seeing a no deal with the EU and the USA and suddenly realizing how badly wrong this could go.

He wanted out of the EU, I suspect, to then sell the NHS to the states and make a shed load of cash in the process. That now looks unlikely unless he can get a deal in place with the EU. What happens with the internal market bill will tell us a lot in the next few days. If it is shelved instead of re submitted to the lords with the dubious clauses re-inserted, it means a deal with the EU is very much on, probably just to facilitate a deal with the US. If the internal market bill is re-submitted with clauses intact, it would mean no US deal.
