This & #39;It& #39;s Cummings wot did it& #39; stuff takes quite a bit of swallowing. How do you have access to your old bosses& #39; old texts? Still not convinced he has actually left Downing Street...
(And if there& #39;s anyone who believes the crap unnamed sources spin to the right wing press I have some fine PPE to sell you.)
A few (circumstantial) facts... in our Public First case Cummings and Cain both gave unsigned witness statements - we pushed for signed versions and Cummings came back with one very late. Cain didn& #39;t and they had to pull his evidence. Cain has emerged with a new job and...
Cummings hasn& #39;t. And the Johnson texts & #39;leak& #39; came from a BBC journalist Cummings has frequently used to & #39;leak& #39; stuff.
There is also well-informed chatter that he& #39;s running things.

If you were Cummings would you care about last night& #39;s newspaper headlines pointing the finger at you - or would you be laughing about how you had managed to manipulate the narrative to your advantage again?
