Bizarre how people on here less than a year ago wanted Cummings hung drawn and quartered for allegedly lying (ignoring all the public funded MPs who had breached the rules (Ali, Kinnock etc)), and now hold a government aide up as some sort of icon, who they now believe, seems they try to make cir...

...cumstances fit their left wing ideology....I prefer to find the middle ground and know if you keep a snake you will occasionally get bitten.  

I haven't seen anyone hailing Cummings as an "icon".  I'd say, at best, he's 'gamekeeper turned poacher' - and I've deliberately switched that sentence around, because it best describes how Cummings is now attacking the interests of those he used to protect.  They deserve each other; taxpayers deserve better.

The WhatApp messages merely confirm what we all knew for months. No-one holds Cummings in any positive light.

You only had to see Johnson spluttering and lying about closing the border to India in PMQ this week to see yet another example of the chaos going on in No 10. 

Johnson's own party were hardly great supporters of his. Some were willing to join with LabLib to bring him down. A lot of evidence to show the moderates couldn't stand him. Of course they have all gone now and you end up with this incredible bunch who somehow, no matter what they do, get people making excuses for them, or the other one is "what would Labour have done?", as if that is a reason to continue with this incompetent nonsense we see day after day.

I see there are reports of travel easing in some of our near neighbours, while we are apparently ahead with the vaccine but struggling with infection levels.

How on earth do you achieve that?

There’s a world of difference between blind faith and just plain blind stupidity. I would be ashamed to nail my colours to the mast of a Tory ship that has drowned some many with their sheer incompetence.

Let alone continue to even consider an alternative as the body bags mount up to being the greatest number in Europe?

They should too question- How on earth did that happen?! 

It wasn’t our scientists, or our health service, or our vaccination research.

So who is responsible?

3 weeks after they knew of the Delta variant they closed down flights from India. 3 weeks! The whole world and his dog knew that flights were still coming in on stopovers via Turkey, Emirates or Dubai except our PM who again blundered and blustered like the overgrown privileged buffoon schoolboy he is!

But hey, none of that apparently matters, the needless deaths, demoralising our NHS, spaffing favours for his friends, spivving the test and trace system …. None of it, absolutely none of it to the blind faithful , because Boris is Boris! 

Well I wonder if they can all sleep at night?
