You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I suspect that Boris was given an ultimatum by the grandees of the Tory Party, either he goes or Dominick goes, so he threw Dominick under the bus. The irony is we've now got his missus as "unelected official in chief"
Vote leave = Vote Left
Great, the continuation of incompetence.
Well where are they going to find someone competent?
The Tories are shitting themselves, Cumming is gone because no deal will be off the table with Biden getting in and the talk about vaccines getting stuck in Calais that need -70 degree cold chain distribution....has given them cold feet.
Reality has dawned.
Prepare for a Tory civil between the ERG and the more sensible lot.

Free MemberHow much vetting do the Tories do of party members? Is it worth joining to get a say in who is leader?
First question, basically none. Second question, no, because you'll be lost in the ocnea of all the UKIP and other arseholes that joined for the same reason.
I’ve always wanted him gone… but, perversely, his going now could be a very bad sign, assuming Johnson is pushing back against those who want us to listen to scientists this winter.
With the news of Cummings gone with immediate effect, can we make this a future official bank holiday? 😆
On a related subject, if Liz is still around, pencil in a 2-day bank hol celebrating her Platinum Jubilee in 2022, starting Thurs June 2nd.
You reckon it's locdown related? Eg May's influence?
I was thinking that it's the news that Brexit will utterly **** the Pfizer vaccine distribution along with Biden getting in.
Lock him up!

The biggest U turn to date?
I suspect so! But who knows! Cummings was reported to be arguing with Whitty over cutting down the quarantine time to 7 days, with him eventually having to compromise with Whitty with an agreement on 10 days.
Will Mark Francois now re-surface to lead them to Brexit glory?
He's been mysteriously absent of late
😜
I was thinking that it’s the news that Brexit will utterly **** the Pfiezer vaccine distribution along with Biden getting in.
Gives a reason to postpone the whole thing indefinitely, until it’s properly distributed?
A senior Downing Street source would like to know if you want fries with that.
It is all very intriguing. I always assumed he had some dirt on Johnson and that is how he survived the castle debacle. I guess we may see now??
Good riddance, vile little shit.
what's in the box?
After my £5 loss on Trump (although that's still not settled!) I've got a fiver on Gove taking over next year. So that won't happen.
what’s in the box?
Carrie Symonds severed head?

Gove?
There were fireworks a while back. I wondered what it was for.

Train tickets for the family, a single to Barnard Castle?

Taxi for Dom, taxi for Dom!
Todays Friday 13th keeps on giving eh? I hadn't realise his position had changed to "immediate effect" until after I posted a few minutes ago.
A bit surprised that there were no shouted questions on the footage of the walk of shame.
Let’s hope so, eh Nige? Let’s hope so...

NSFW chant fits pretty well here.

Dead cat.
Is it his self respect?
I don’t know which photographer got the shot, but he’ll be dining out on that for a long time, I’d imagine
That’s a proper iconic image. It’s an absolute belter!
In an imagined exchange between Cummings and me:
Me (chirpily): Hey, Dom, Dom, have you got a sec, mate?
Cummings (wearily): Yes what is it?
Me: **** off you ****! Hahahahaha!
Tog was tipped off by a Government source.
Oh and I do hope the Nicotine Toad is right. Then I'd like to get in his face as well and tell a few home truths, liberally laced with the vilest language possible.
So we are back to a civil war within the Tory party. The reason we are gifted Brexit. Purely to "heal" the Party. Then a dysfunctional government during a pandemic.
Well, that that worked out for everyone.
Sorry to disappoint but it’s now being reported that neither Cummings or Cain are stopping working for BoJo, they are just working from home till mid December...

ferrals - that's nothing more than saving face.
I step away from the internet for a few hours and this happens?
Right, off to the corner shop for some celebratory chocolate.
Best Friday 13th ever.

Dead cat.

Deserved more.

I think that photo of him leaving no.10 would make an excellent Christmas card...
As others have noted, there are a number of exits from No. 10.
Coming out of the front door is a photo opportunity... the ****.
That’s a proper iconic image. It’s an absolute belter!
Honestly, am I so far gone that I immediately thought thd whole clear your desk/walk of shame thing was staged? Even the 'perfect' shot of him walking out the door seemed too perfect.
Nobody else feel like they're just laughing at us as we all get distracted by some amateur dramatics?
...and what would you actually leave there?
Some instant coffee?
Your favourite mug?
Some pens?
A photo in a frame?
That cardigan you took in when it was a bit parky?
the ****.
My thoughts exactly, the walk was choregraphed, I'm sure he could have gone out the back, the way he came in.

Whilst it may well be a photo op, that is also the way in and out for hairy arsed tradesmen.

And all visitors/outsiders. It looks very staged and I just assumed was, but if you're going through security that's the door you use.
From the FT...
Mr Johnson held a 45-minute meeting with Mr Cummings and Mr Cain on Friday to discuss their “general behaviour” this week, according to individuals with knowledge of the conversation.
In tense exchanges, Mr Johnson accused his aides of briefing against him and his partner Carrie Symonds and criticised them for destabilising the government in the midst of tense Brexit negotiations.
Mr Johnson showed the aides text messages that had been forwarded to Ms Symonds, who opposed Mr Cain’s appointment as chief of staff, to show they had briefed against her. He told them to get out and never return.

I can think of a couple more suitable for him.
First floor window perhaps, but much more appropriate would be the one just after the u-bend in the khazi.
Prime minister resigns.
Ought to be the headline.
Wonder what the meat puppet will do now that his handler has left.
It's nice to know that the government is making these important decisions based on playground infighting

Given that backbench gammons want him gone, he may actually be a force for good in the nasty party. Just a thought. Obviously he should have gone over the barnard nonsense, I in no way approve of him. I haven't got a clue what he does. But if he's pissing off backbench gammons he's probably doing something right.
kimbers - I posted a link to the full FT article a little earlier up there ^^^
If someone on here, with ace photoshop skills, wants to turn that photo into an actual Christmas card... I would happily buy it
Remember the stunt with the kids bike that he was lifting aloft in order to put in the back of his range rover when being doorsteps by the press after using sorting childcare as an excuse,
He loves a prop does our Dom.
Brewdog not hanging about...
Looks like we finally find out what was in his brown box - a big pile of cash...
Good day to bury this piece of news - while everyone chatters away about London going to Tier 3 and Christmas getting 'cancelled' or whatever.
That'll be the tip of the iceberg....
That’ll be the tip of the iceberg….
It's not the salary that matters, it is all the backhanders and retainers he will have been guaranteed to do his masters' bidding. That will run to millions.
Gollum update..
Gone,but not forgotten just yet (by the Good Law Project)
Cummings, always looking out for his mates the 'Public First'.
The wee piece of shite.
Follow the money
^^^^
All enabled by Brexit.
It pretty much all stems from that fateful, stupid referendum.
And anyone is surprised by this?
I’ve lobbed some unspent beer money at Good Law Project. Not sure it’ll see these ****ers off but I’m all for trying.
So, he’s back and throwing everyone under the bus.... he really is a toad.
Weapons grade bell-end.
So, he’s back and throwing everyone under the bus…. he really is a toad.
He's got protection. He's the genius who weaponized Britain's 'stupid' to deliver them the postwar settlement on a plate for their delectation.
I learned a new word this week "walloper". It was applied to the Glasgow Rangers fans celebrating in public squares. It seems apposite here.
A complete consomethinge c
I Don’t believe a word the toadying sh1t says....
Lashing out at all and sundry, presumably to set himself up to a return to some sort of position along side his bestie Boris......
He was one of the main reasons ( imho) we ended up in the position of having lockdown 2 & 3 and spent ( wasted ) money by giving it to other establishment toadies 🤬🤬🤬🤬
He’s a lying, scheming, self-serving little shit with a truly disturbing messiah complex at work
Absolutely everything he does and says is all part of some agenda. Today’s agenda was arse-covering and the deflection of blame ahead of the inevitable public inquiry. He took the opportunity to throw little Matty even further under the bus
Standard
His problem is that, like his former (and no doubt, future) boss, he’s nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is, so his ‘agenda’ is completely transparent
He clearly likes to think of himself as some Machiavellian character, but he’s as obvious as the opening scene of Casualty
^^ As happens so often Binners types it so I don't have to.👍😁
What a dangerous little turd he is. Not Binners, Cummings.lol
I agree, binners has summed it up beautifully there
History graduate pontificating on science - what could possibly go wrong?
Still, he must be a genius - it says so in his blog 🙁
