It's almost as bad as if they'd found out he owns a field.
ITV’s Robert Peston says ministers have told him Cummings’ resignation or sacking is only “only a matter of time”.
Joe Pike the Guardian, apologies if it's already been posted''I am fascinated at Labour's strategy throughout the Cummings crisis: to hold back.They've NOT called for DC to be sacked (although do want investigation).@Keir_Starmer hasn't said a word.Heeding Napoleon's advice to avoid interrupting your enemy when he's making a mistake?''
Why is Cummings going to Downing Street today.?I thought the rule was if you can, you should still work from home, but only go into the workplace if it is Covid secure and if you can’t work from home.?He is an advisor, why can’t he advise over the phone or internet, like everyone else who works from home has to do.?So even today, he is going against the government advice/directive.?

Telling us it is OK to break the law if you're doing it for the kids.I mean it is to be fair but that's not the point is it?I don't have necessarily a huge issue with him travelling as he has, lots of people have and he should be treated as they all are.I have a big issue in trying to cover it up though, it sums his approach up.BFYPThe Govt said then and says now that if you have CV-19 you MUST stay at home.But you don't have any problems with the PM's chief adviser deciding that didn't apply to him?Don't you see the problem inherent in that, if the message now becomes "Use lockdown rules as a general guide and make your own minds up"?

Surely shoplifting is now acceptable if you just do it to feed your kids?How else can you interpret the Attorney General's tweet?

Christ, I've just seen Shapps on Andrew Marr.It was like Ben Swain and Paxman in The Thick of It.0:45 here.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DALNjevGdB5g&ved=2ahUKEwjQ-vucwszpAhWTQEEAHeVYATsQo7QBMAB6BAgCEAE&usg=AOvVaw3ACp7STdL4agFp_0uRQnDC
Theres something happening behind the scenes The daily briefing has been put back an hour
Simple enough for Cummings to step down officially, to take pressure off the PM and his shambles.After a break, he will re-emerge as an employee of some "think tank", and unofficially resume his role as Svengali to the useless Johnson. He would need to be more discreet, which is not in his nature, and stay out of camera.Johnson to speak at the briefing at 5 ish!
Some suggestions he may announce an inquiry / investigation and refuse to take questions. That doesn’t really add up to me as the issue is too clear cut to warrant a drawn out investigation. Were the rules broken? Yes. Were the rules broken more than once? Prove your whereabouts on said dates to determine. It really is that black and white. Conclusion. Well that’s up to the Prime Minister. Or at least it would be if his strings weren’t being pulled by the subject.
