    Agree.
    I guess the media will have nothing to say about all that. Hypocrites.
    What a ****ed up country we have become.
    Anyone notice the 2 blokes who popped onto the screen trying to help that journo asking q's in yesterday's daily statement? He couldn't get audio working himself so twice other blokes appeared on the screen with their faces literally side by side with the journo who was trying to ask Boris questions. Good job only a few million were watching.

    Very quiet on here this afternoon.

    Everybody must be preparing themselves for the Prime Minister's address to the Nation later today.

    Not sure why you keep referencing Brexit, but I don’t think it’s general editorial stance has changed dramatically due to the change in personnel, albeit on Brexit it did.
    I do still find it surprising they came out so strongly given the demographic of its readers.

    Cummings role in Brexit means he is a bete noire for some, hence a lot of the venom directed at him. Tried explaining this to some dork yesterday, but he was a bit too dense to grasp it.

    On many issues, the DM hasn't changed, but on Brexit it did (because of the new editor). And yes- it was surprising they way they nailed their colours to the mast as clearly as they have done.

    In the same way, the DM may go easy on Lady Miss Kier Starmer, the democracy denier and Remoaner. But I suppose that depends on how well he tackles the anti-semitic infiltration of the Labour Party and makes them an electable proposition again. .

    Worth more than a like, laugh of the day right there.

    I hope the scruffy git changes out of that faded red tee shirt he always wears.

    Well he never kicked out Abbott for her involvement with anti semitism recently she was only reprimanded ---however his own party members accused Stsrmer of hypocrisy and rssism for not dealing with senior figures in Labour who were accused of bullying Abbott - for some reason this seems to have been missed by the Mirror and the Grauniad

    Seems like this news conference has smashed another load of rules / guidelines to smithereens just by taking place.

    He has basically given details as if he was being interviewed by the police , to be honest , what more do people want ? .. .Durham police have now clarified they did not speak to the cummings family about breaking lockdown , only about security (statement at4pm today) ... he has given a step by step account and quite honestly put himself on a pedestal to get knocked off if the second visit is proven , if it is not then I expect a full apology from the media concerned

    State of this.


    He's actually deflecting blame of his rulebreaking from himself onto the coverage of his rulebreaking.

    He just will not accept he's done something wrong.

    Although I personally just want this all to go away resign or no resign .. I do firmly believe a simple "sorry" actually would make a massive difference in all of this and start to put this to bed. Then we can prove or not prove the "second " visit ... if its proved then hes gone , if its proved it wasnt him then media apologizes ...

    The first visit has basically been generally proved to be "ok" (loose wording of ok there) ... its the second visit that is the big one for me , and ffs this old guy Gary needs to stop taking lessons from Piers here
