Why would anyone want him to stay working? The damage he could do from inside!

He’ll get his 3 months in lieu and he’ll be away - hence the champagne. Big payout and long holiday!

He might still be getting paid by Putin, anyway.

He's got so much dirt on Johnson, Gove and co that he has a job for life if he wants it.

Not sure if this has been discussed. One name that keeps popping up is Carrie Symons, and her part in CummingsGate.

Does she have an official role, or is she exercising her rights as the First Lady?

Why does he come and go through the front door?

His office isn't even at 10 Downing St.

That box was full of stuff he'd raided from the gift shop.

This appears to be a misconception. Cummings has not gone, he is 'working his notice from home'

This from the BBC website

Mr Cummings and director of communications Lee Cain, who resigned on Thursday, will work out their notices at home following tensions within No 10.

She was never first lady, by all accounts she is well down the line.

She seems to be coming across as a conniving, scheming bit of **** in a nest of vipers. Why else would anyone of her age get up the nelly duff with an aged gut-bucket like de Pfeffel, I suppose.

Am I missing something, though? She doesn't have an official role, other than as something out of the Borgias?

She is a former head of communications for the Conservative party who is the PMs fiancé. She will no doubt have good connections in the media and likely could find out what Cummings was briefing to the press.

Like in many things, people will concentrate on her gender and relationship with the PM. Not irrelevant but misses her skills and experience in the wider media and comma world

Could be. Not a supporter of the WM government but get bored with someone like Cummings being thought of as a Machiavellian mastermind but the person who seems to have been a driving force behind pushing him out is just the PMs squeeze.

Bozo could continue the tradition of appointing/enriching non elected chums and perhaps give a nice little earner to a soon to be unemployed former US president?

Cheers. Didn't know about her background. Still not convinced that she should have a say, but I suppose it's reality.

Hancock to appear on GMB tomorrow. First time the govt have put someone forward in 201 days.

Make of that what you will.

Anybody know, and I'm asking the tories out there, why there is no deputy prime minister?

It's not a position always in use.

Gordon Brown didn't have a deputy nor did Major for several years.

Likewise there was no Deputy PM throughout most of the 60s, all of the 70s and all but one years of the 80s and there was never a Deputy PM at all until 1942.

Thanks for the history lesson 😁 even though you must be a closet tory 😉


Reading a novel that mentions a deputy PM. Clegg was the last one.

Clegg's move to joining the Davecam version of the nasty party was a career development move as we now know, nothing do do with liberalism and all about the opportunity.

Come to think about it,an excellent prospect for deputy to Bozo if they could afford him

I thought it was more of a gamble to secure the AV referendum than anything more malign.

Whatever he was playing at, it didn’t work out and backfired on him / them big time.

Regarded him as a career climber rather than a leader of the traditional liberal party or indeed a conviction politician and it looks like it's worked out that way.

I take back any acknowledgment that despite despising Cummings he knew what he was doing.
Two so called masters of the black arts in Cain and Cummings and the best name they could conjure up for Carrie Symonds was Princess Nut Nuts. Disappointing, no wonder they were sacked.

I repeat what I've said before. He's a twat who got very lucky with his timing of wider politics which helped gift him the Brexit win and then the Johnson win. Three dimensional chess player my arse. The Barnard Castle episode alone shows he's got very poor judgement and a gigantic sense of entitlement.

Cameron made him with that spectacularly stupid referendum on Brexit giving vent to the 'there must be a better and consequence free future out there ' mob and then Corbyn put him in Downing Street by making that utter buffoon Johnson seem the saner choice.

Among many reasons to be grateful for the Biden win will be the resumption of proper US agency investigations into the labyrinthine connections between domestic politics in the US and UK and a variety of foreign actors and their dodgy money. Tick tock for the Brexiteers.

Margaret Thatcher appointed Geoffrey Howe as deputy PM as a form of humiliation after he fell out with her over Europe. He'd previously been one of her most loyal and high profile allies at both the Treasury and the Foreign Office but her press secretary Bernard Ingham described the deputy PM post as essentially 'meaningless'.

Nevertheless Howe's subsequent resignation speech set in motion the train of events which led to her downfall.

Can you imagine any of the current flock of spineless grifters giving such a speech?
