Snake oil salesman Cummings in the sh*t

[Skirmish]

Maybe he’s a man of principles and honour, unlike Cummings and this despicable Tory government

Yes maybe but it will literally achieve nothing, Cummings will still be in a job and he will be on the dole, there's only one loser in his threat.

Well potentially the losers could include the patients he may have treat?

Is it necessary to have your wife and child in the car to test your driving stamina? Bearing in mind he had a safe haven for them to remain in anyway, such is the premise of this story, what value would having them in the car with him add?

There is no value, only risk and considering he has claimed to be risk averse regarding his child then his claims around the Barnard Castle seems at best muddle and at worst a complete lie. You can't claim the protection of my child is my foremost thought then take him on your safety test drive through country roads when worried that you have eyesight issues. It's incredulous that anyone would consider his BC trip to be rationale, and looking holistically his whole tale to be true.

Maybe he'll move to a country which isn't being run by a bunch of rightwing nutters and resume his career there.

New Zealand is sounding very appealing at the moment.

Six questions that remain unanswered (amongst others):
Unanswered questions

I've got a feeling that the conservatives will attempt to draw a line under it now, MPs will be instructed to just sidestep the questions and change the narrative to the economy.

Or a labour activist

The police may ask at least one of them.

Yeah I was thinking more along the lines of scrutiny from the press and opposition MPs, but yeah I can't see him being able to get away with lying to the police if they do decide to question him.

Some anon Ministers still incredulous about the response yesterday according to R4 in spite of a concerted effort for the Tory machine to close it down.

I watched him on GMB this morning, if he did resign over Dominic Cummings then he's just stupid. Why throw away that career over a rat.

Because if you don't say it's wrong, then you say that it's right.

People need to stand up and protest this, in any way they can. There's a feeling of helplessness that this government can just do anything and get way with it. This weekend has proven that. We either stand against it, or let the autocratic regime take more and more power. Has it EVER ended will when a government has taken more and more power from it's citizens? ever, in the history of the world?

Don't GlaxoSmithKline have a base at Barnard Castle? Haven't they just agreed to work alongside Sanofi in vaccine development? Is Cummings visit possibly related?

mmmmm...how co-incidental.

Its time for the......d*ck Cummins - come on down!

mmmmm...how co-incidental.

There was a link to an article on here about this story - then if that was the case would it not be an easy get out “ i was on gvt business ...” does seem coincidental but maybe it is just that.

 

[jam69]

doesn't his sister, who lives in durham have some connection to the company thats got the tracking app contract?

 

[r00fie1]

For all those who have died and all those law - abiding Britains who have thought about others, not just themselves.

Allegedly yes

He could hardly say "and my wife and child came along for the ride" on this company business.

But of course he could - he thinks hes Teflon-coated!
The problem is, Teflon is only a thin coat - one scratch and it begins to disintegrate......

To be honest, Michael Gove has been doing the rounds this morning, and has completely put my mind to ease. Move on, plebs!
