Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

I can't wait to see the Downfall Parody video of this.

I don't think any of the cabinet have the balls to ask Cummings to explain himself, lickspittles the lot of them.

Luckily Johnson has significant experience of ditching his life-partners when they become inconvenient, but who is going to replace Cummings?

This sums it up

Maybe Cummings won't go, but an unnamed No 10 official instead.

That's actually funny

Sky News put Grant Shapps on notice

Like Trump, there's always a tweet.

Grant shapps.

Our Dom
Who art in Durham
Hallowed be thy brain
Thy Brexit come
Thy will be done
In No 10
As it is in Durham
Give us this day our daily dregs
And forgive us our 250m road trips
As we forgive... no, scratch that
And deliver us from consequences

Mind blown. Rep.

VE Day spikes. Yeah?

Durham police restating the point and contradicting No.10 that they were in contact with the Cummings:

Damn, I haven't seen one of those in a while. So many situations recently which would've made great ones.

Edit: crikey, found a YouTube account full of them, they still crank them out. Must be reliable views, there's some which are over ten years old.

The lockdown extension one was mildly amusing. The map pointing at the start makes it ideal in this case.

No. 10 we won't respond to lefty media alegations any more

What's astonishing is that the entire cabinet have thrown their weight behind Cummings without (apparently) asking him "did you take any other trips"?

Agree. This is nuts.

Bonkers.

Terrifying.

Assuming Dom carries a mobile phone with him, that'd have pinged all the local masts on his travels leaving a breadcrumb trail that'd confirm or refute these stories... is that correct? I guess there'd be a cover up though?

following the Trump playbook.

I hoping they are holding back some more evidence and are trying to trap them.

following the Fascist playbook.

Ftfy :(

If they think that will work here, they are in for a dose of hard cold reality.

Yup, hope so too.

So apparently the retired chemistry teacher who spotted Cummings in Barnard Castle had a contemporaneous search of Cummings' Range Rover Evoque's license plate in his Google browsing history.
