Cummings is a far bigger scalp and is the architect of the government's catastrophic COVID failure. Kinnock isn't responsible for the UK having the worst COVID death rate in Europe. Yes, and of course he's a socialist, and son of socialist grandees. And laws and rules don't apply to them, do they? So you think that Cummings is totally to blame for the UK's death rate? Regardless of the UK government's performance, and that's something they will be accountable to the electorate for, it's not an excuse to apply hypocrisy, and dual standards, based on political opinion. Kinnock is an MP, son of senior politicians and clearly being groomed for higher things. There is no excuse for the media deliberately ignoring Kinnock's law breaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyswale Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) In an article earlier this year, Cummings said the European Research Group, of which around 80 Tory MPs are members, “should be treated like a metastasising tumour and excised from the UK body politic”.

These little people who have been sticking to the rules, even as their closest loved ones are dying alone just down the road, or being laid to rest with barely a handful of mourners- the little people are accepting the harsh restrictions the government imposed. But not DC - he can do as he chooses and his fanboys cheer him on! Kim Jong Un must be looking on with amazement. Keeping the Rhubarb brigade at bay is no indication of being a fan RR; "Innocent until outed by left wing media" an' all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I and others saved him once before when he was driving Vote Leave to implosion. Not today. Dominic Cummings must go before he does any more harm to the UK, the Government, the Prime Minister, our institutions or the Conservative Party. Time is up. It is time for Dom to resign so Boris can govern within the conventions and norms which will see us through. It is time to get competing expert advice, decent software and better decisions, end the lockdown and start a long, hard recovery. https://thecritic.co.uk/boris-must-take-back-control/ 4 minutes ago, jimmyswale said: In an article earlier this year, Cummings said the European Research Group, of which around 80 Tory MPs are members, “should be treated like a metastasising tumour and excised from the UK body politic”.

If the latter, Abbot was embarrassed when asked to justify his private schooling when she speaks out against private education. Her son then got himself arrested, I believe also charged for assaulting officers and there was some issue that if Labour had won, his mum would've likely been Home Secretary and might have swept it all under the carpet. He pleaded guilty as was due to be sentenced early April. He has been charged in court before with serious offense. All very strange has he is a Cambridge graduate and was working as a diplomat.

Interesting reading. Yeah, I was being facetious, sorry. Patel showed similar innumeracy recently so abacus could easily apply to her also. Fully off topic, but I am not sure that third party projections of what Abbott may or may not have done in a specific eventuality can correctly be called an 'issue'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Dom for being a decent human being. All your fiercist critics on here would have done exactly the same, infact they wouldn't be much of a father if they didn't. But hey let's make it political and crucify the guy for being decent. No, he wasn't decent. He did what thousands of others were told not to do. Plus close family lives close to him.

Not exactly enhancing his credibility! And he and his lover have probably got some other problems now too! The other visited her second home, twice, without any justifiable reason, other than she wanted to. And she had to be pushed. Neither have the "balls" you seem to applaud.

Popular Post david555 Posted May 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2020 Even From The Tory graph bible …. he is done .... R.I.P. Cummings https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/coronavirus-news-dominic-cummings-cases-deaths/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/coronavirus-news-dominic-cummings-cases-deaths/ Boris Johnson is facing a revolt among Tory MPs over his decision not to sack Dominic Cummings, as a growing number of backbenchers call for him to go. Prominent member of the 1922 Committee Steve Baker warned that Boris Johnson’s advisor was “burning through Boris's political capital at a rate that we just can ill afford in the midst of this crisis”. Mr Cummings is under renewed fire after reports surfaced that the 48-year-old made a second trip to County Durham, despite social restrictions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
