Homegrove According to a senior source, he will leave by Christmas, but that was always the intention according to BBC Newsnight.

As @alistair says, Cummings said back in January that he wanted to be ‘largely’ out of the Government by the end of 2020. Whilst good news that he’s going, I can’t help but feel that the damage is already done. Teetering on the brink of a no deal Brexit, his actions over Barnard Castle having destroyed the will of the British people to adhere to any kind of lockdown rules, and having lined his and his family’s pockets to such an extent that he’ll have zero concerns what happens to the UK economy in the coming years…

Of course Ed likes Cummings, he could be his normal necked brother.

is this me and Hannu tag teaming …? if so, I like it!

Si and MC have some real competition here.

    H and Cartsy are riffing the living daylights out of it!

    Smalls, what are your thoughts about Dommy C and the Panny D?

    Personally, I’m popping open the Dommy P now that he’s going.

    Cummings leaving via the front door carrying a card board box was the most OTT performance I’ve seen in awhile. Shame anyone who falls for it.

    I didn’t realise Boris’s Mrs was calling the shots!

      alistair I wonder if Melania had such power with the Don…..!

      Milksy, mc and i are only the warm up act when this duo get going…

      Says it all about Boris. The absolute clown.

      He’ll resign after Brexit and let Gove run the show. He’ll justify it on the basis he got Brexit done as per the manifesto. All the talk of levelling up has been spaffed on furlough so that won’t happen in the red wall seats. Poisoned chalice being prime minister attempting to get the country back to normal post Pandemic / Brexit.

      Would Gove win the support of the grassroots Tory party? My brother in law is a fairly senior party member, and he reckons most of the party see him as the snivelling, slimy cunt that he comes across as…

        vinnyt77 would he hell. He fucked up his chance of being PM the moment he stabbed Boris in the back in 2016. It will be a Raab Sunak run off.

          alistair Yeah - that’s where my money would be as well. Sunak I think would win in a head-to-head.

          Hursty they’d both have half a chance of winning a GE, something Gove wouldn’t. Self preservation is what Tories do best

          Sounds like a legend!

            Amps there’s a rule of them which I think could save people on here a lot of time:

            If Amps posts it, chances are it’s complete bullshit.

              Along_the_Wire you can literally see that the flooded area in the photo Amps posted is the same as spot 1 in the link I posted (by Ruckinge Dyke/Newtown, with one straight section of motorway at the bottom, and with the motorway section at the top cutting from right to left with the loop). You can see it on google maps as well.

              Meanwhile, here is confirmation that the lorry park will indeed be built rather on the spot highlighted as 2 on the picture I posted - Church Road, Sevington, next to the M20:

              Smart money goes on Jeremy Hunt in Jan. He’s capable, is untouched with any of the covid fallout, white and is happy to work with Murdoch.

              Made me laugh:

                Banning combustion sale of combustion cars by 2030 is good but I think it should be quicker.

                They should also bin hybrid sales at the same time.

                  Hursty Those housing improvements should have come in 15 years ago too. They’re probably the easiest of the lot to implement.
