Alastair Campbell's arse handed to him on a plate. Splendid.

To clarify, I am disappointed in your lack of objectionable judgement that you normally present yourself with, usually. Lacking today though because of who Cummings is.

Yep, I’d like to see him convicted and lose his job but ONLY if he’s found guilty on the evidence provided. I have at no point bayed rabidly for his immediate dismissal.

That’s hardly a display of hatred. More perhaps that I’m human and make errors. Most importantly I can admit to making those errors

This looks like a bit of a walk back to me...

So you saying initially....

Isn't hatred for someone?

Key word you used was bias.

Intelligent article from the Chief Executive of Conservative Home, Mark Wallace. His conclusion is one that most people will be able to make, but he succeeds in drawing out the skills that Dominic posseses.

All is see is a load of failing journalists stamping their feet and having hissy fits because they couldn't revive their failing careers on the back of mr cummins, it's just booooooring now, nothing to see,time to move on to the next victim.

Just seen this from Isabel Oakeshott:

Perhaps my original comment was poorly thought out.

Yes, I'm biased but I can be biased without hatred. I'm biased towards my atrociously poor football team, that doesn't mean I hate every other football team.

Would I like to see him lose his job over this. Absolutely. Will i be miffed if he doesn't? slightly. Will I continuously call for him to resign or be sacked. No

That's unfair, there were exceptional circumstances, one of the main ones being he thinks he's exceptional...

The fact that so many usually supportive conservative columnists/newspapers/MPs, have turned against the Govt on this, might give you a clue to where public opinion lies. Cummings staying is good news for opposition parties.

I would calculate the public opinion on this matter is split 52% for him-48%against.


I don't think this minor bump in the road will affect him, i still think he's on track for a future Knighthood for his excellent service to his country.


just seen him leaving his home with police clearing the **** out of his path [better late than never] he's off back to work where he belongs.

You would think that if you're still using that old soviet union calculator[abacus]


You should be happy we had two options for mr cummins remain or leave. this time remain won the argument that must be a result

Strange how YouGov polled over should Cummings go or not but obviously papa must have missed that one.;)

https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics...cumming_resign


And 68% of Brits (including most Tory voters) consider Dominic Cummings to have broken the lockdown rules.

https://yougov.co.uk/topics/health/s...ng_break_rules

He must have missed that opinion poll one as well.;)
