This 'It's Cummings wot did it' stuff takes quite a bit of swallowing. How do you have access to your old bosses' old texts? Still not convinced he has actually left Downing Street...
(And if there'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't and they had to pull his evidence. Cain has emerged with a new job and...
Cummings hasn't. And the Johnson texts 'leak' came from a BBC journalist Cummings has frequently used to 'leak' stuff.
There is also well-informed chatter that he's running things.

If you were Cummings would you care about last night'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?
