Oh dear. Mr Cummings went to Durham for a personal visit.
So based on Neil Ferguson we're waiting for
1. The Telegraph character assasination with irrelevant detail most of which is exaggerated.
2. His immediate resignation from Government.
Everyone ready?
Start clocks.

Oh and before the clocks strike "half past independent journalism", the telegraph doesn't respond but good old byline does.

The next thing people have noticed is his attempt (intended or not) to kill his parents in their 70s.

Can you imagine the inconvenience of all that Whitehall adviser restructuring, not only did it waste loads of money and became a complete mess and delivered bugger all.
But worst. Are they going to report to Jetson now? Surely too much like hard work?

Lots of baying for blood. Needless risk to parents health seems to be where the outrage is placed. Breaking quarantine is just elitist. Risking parents sociopathic. https://twitter.com/Davidmetroland/status/1264011594914299904?s=19
#Cummings is prominent but just the latest. Careers 1st, lives 2nd is what they do: 
Immunity
Airport checks
PPE, tests, ventilators
Run down PPE stock
Shameful carehome advice
2nd worst global dead called success by a PM more Devil's Alley than Church Hill
Notice CoupV2?

Oh crap I can't tell already. This was meant to be one of those short barbed threads.
But since it looks like the ability to do the right thing or act with honour died in 2016, it'll go on forever.

Neil Ferguson is our Alan Turing. His analysis turned us away from 500,000 dead. A path we were on solely due to a negligent strategy Cummings owned.
Like Turing they assassinated Neil.
Cummings, whose sole achievement is to ruin us is excused by those who risked 500,000 dead

End of Cummings Day 2. Looking bad for them:
1. he too prominent a target for this much hypocrisy.
2. They're now acting like Trump with the media
3. Every hour a story lands of people in far worse situations who obeyed quarantine. Good for them. Blooming awful for Rasputin.

#cummings day 3
Opens with a left field.
@SteveBakerHW calls for Cummings to go, retweets about 20 others calling for the same.
Well there can be only one reason for this. #Brexit is now in play and at risk. With #coronavirus they've undermined everything.

Joining the attack on #cummings is the ever even-handed @PeterBoneUK who in a Farage interview on LBC confirms he's sure that June 30 extension has nothing to do with this (ie. opposite is true)
That's now 5 leading Brexiters calling for him to go. So did he get Brexit undone?

Neil Ferguson, who saved the lives of 430,000 is the modern Alan Turing. A quiet resignation perverted by corrupt politicians and Press to undermine his testimony at an inevitable Hague Trial for our Government.
And of course, fewer quarantine breaks than Cummings...

It's observed Hancock said NF made the "right decision to resign". Such a neutral statement is almost hand picked to be least embarrassing for Cummings.
And indeed it was.
Some quotes
Hancock:
" It's a matter for the police"
"Speechless about extraordinary actions"

Ferguson's comparative honour vs Cummings stands out "I deeply regret any undermining of the clear messages around the continued need for social distancing to control this devastating epidemic"
But then
"Government guidance is unequivocal, and is there to protect all of us."

Sadly the Press didn't try hard enough. Last time 3 tabloids were full of TRUMPED up sordid detail - trysts, illicit sex
Looking forward to a juicy Sunday morning, imagine my disappointment when the whole thing apparently doesn't count or is excused if it's a Tory elite doing it

So based on press briefing #Johnson is resting on the argument that no details of #Cummings behaviour need to be corroborated.
His integrity is without question.
Should we have a look at that integrity? Imagine if you knew this but did the opposite https://twitter.com/atatimelikethis/status/1171432547533766658?s=19

Mr Johnson also has faith in and sees no need to question Mr Cummings' responsibility.
I agree, the PM himself is a responsible man with excellent judge of character.
It's not as if there are infinite examples of irresponsibility in the public domain https://twitter.com/atatimelikethis/status/1171077197295226883?s=19

The evening of the 3rd cummings. Questions
1. Did #Johnson know of #cummings trip
2. If he knew why approve a trip that was explicitly against not just advice, but his own words, "even for urgent child care you should not be travelling to older relatives, it is this serious"

2. If he knew why approve a trip that was explicitly against not just advice, but his own words, "even for urgent child care you should not be travelling to older relatives, it is this serious"
3. if he knew, presumably he would anticipate the huge reaction if this came out, which he would be sure to undermine Government credibility and ultimately cause deaths.
So why didn't he mention it as a press conference, with the explicit clarification of advice to avoid damage?

4. If he didn't know, how on earth can a man with free access to the head of Government disappear awol? What if he were kidnapped? Used to exert undue influence by a foreign government?
5. Did he review the Stay Alert Campaign? Did he see an obvious problem-who removed AT HOME?

As if time were simply a convenient response to twitter, @stonesister7 just pointed this out https://twitter.com/peterwalker99/status/1264172975869362178?s=20
Stay At Home/Alert.
We know.
1. ~3/4 of us think it unclear (you gov)
2. Mr Cummings must have chosen to dump HOME when NOT at home (dates)
3. He then replaced life-saving info in favour of explaining bad comms
All good high integrity stuff then. https://twitter.com/atatimelikethis/status/1263790364172996615?s=20

I've been observing that #cummings self declared genius at communications is a little undermined by current events.
But now I wonder if he advised #Johnson on the approach today?
If so credit where it's due. Wow he did well shifting all the attention and blame to his boss

DAY FOUR
And as quick as you can say #ToryTruthTwisters we're into day 4 of #CummingsGoingsGate and this ongoing thread of the story.
It's now become obvious that somehow the tories have blown up 3 months of health crdibikiy to avoid admitting DC was in error.
Oh dear

First Meme is the ongoing "what does he have over Johnson"
Spoiler
the answer is, "Every Lie Johnson told about #Brexit and which he personally made up"
A better question. "What does Neil Ferguson have on them that he got a Teliegraph hatchet job in case he ever testifies"?

That's also easily answered and has the advantage of helping the others understand
The answer?
"The 500,000 deaths PM said was risked were self inflicted due to the PMs negligence
70,000 is awful.
~only 10,000 were hard to prevent,
tho as SKorea, maybe that would be 1000.

Meme 2, Dom's notorious bots seem to have a new job:

For those of you listening in glorious radio, you may have noticed that the Prosecutor in Chief is not lefties, remainers wishing for revenge or the families of the dead.
Dom is being undermined by his own ads, place side by side against clear evidence he ignored them.

Meme 4
Ultras continue the lie that lockdown hurts the Economy.
But you know the economy is just a reflection of confidence.
If we swap deaths at home for many more deaths piling up in the street the economy won't much like it either.
But it'll hide Gov failure to prepare.

And on that note Meme 5. Some are claiming this whole #cummings thing is a distraction to hide the Sunday Times story which, to summarise, shows the current Givernment to be the worst in history.
I don't buy it. Cummings is far more important to them than 60000 extra dead.
