We need a list of all the MPs and MSPs who deleted messages. I have heard nothing about the Welsh Assembly and Storemont, but the latter don't do any work anyway.
 
Mogg on his discussion show (definitely not a news program whatever the channel name says, honest Ofcom)

"It's clear that Boris believes in liberty and was rightly reluctant to lock us down, the failure was one of a blob not of a leader who asked sensible questions."

I wonder how GBNews are feeling about their latest star signing at the moment.

Calling Al (as he's apparently known to friends and family) a blob seems a bit harsh, if accurate. He's clearly not a leader, nor one who asked sensible questions.
 
It is clear that the way government was run, from No 10, the Cabinet, Parliament and the civil service, was dysfunctional and populated by egotistical maniacs.
 
Mogg now says that "The failure was to lockdown too aggressively, Boris was an antidote to group think."

Given the state of the NSDUP, they're probably still trying to decide if the mimeograph is a godly device, never mind whatsapp.
 
Dominic Cummings' witness statement

"A low point was when he circulated a video of a guy blowing a special hair dryer up his nose ‘to kill Covid’ and asked the Chief Scientific Adviser and Chief Medical Officer what they thought"


There's an Eton education for you.

To be fair to Boris, he didn't try to promote it in a televised press conference. Some other world leaders at the time might have done so.

I realise being better than Donald Tr*mp is a low bar.

Well at least he asked, unlike his almost has to be a half brother in the USA...
 
Well the inquiry is certainly showing us how the cynics here were posting a load of rubbish, it was much worse than any of us could imagine!

Dominic Cummings if fair laying into the pandemic government and the state of affairs at number 10, as if he was not instrumental in how things were being run and done at that time. He is one of those bizarre people who can detach himself from himself and act as if he had no responsibility for his actions. BJ was another. It is tragic that they were in charge at the time.

It really says something about how much of a ****** **** you are when Dominic Cummings is coming off the best in the group.
 
More from Cummings

Mr Cummings was told to come up with 'dead cat' to distract from Covid

Mr Johnson demanded that Mr Cummings create a "dead cat" to distract the public from Covid in autumn 2020. "My relations with the PM were in a bad state and getting worse," the former adviser wrote in his witness statement. "By June he was blaming me for, in his words, 'bouncing' him into the first lockdown and saying he should have been the Mayor of Jaws... He wanted to declare Covid 'over' even though this would obviously backfire, not just on him but on government

credibility generally. "At one point in autumn he told me to put your campaign head back on and figure out how we dead cat Covid, I'm sick of Covid, I want it off the front pages. I said that no campaign could 'dead cat Covid' and I would not spend my time on such a project."

He is only coming off best in his own mind. There seems a picture forming
What we have so far is :-
A functioning government
Johnson and Cummings
Government ripped apart and loads of SPADs brought into run everything from the centre
COVID
Chaos as the old structures were marginalised and the new ones lacking any clarity or competence.
 
Cummings is certainly doing his best, as always, to distance himself from any sort of responsiblity or culpability for events that he was involved in. He paints himself as the voice of reason and stability in a time of moronic chaos. The adult in the room.

He is none of those things, and he engineered the situations that he finds himself denouncing.

He only left government because he did one moronic thing too many and people wouldn't let it go. He was forced out, he didn't jump. Just like his buddy Boris, in denial right to the end, wailing that he had done nothing wrong.
