Who will be the first casualty

Post by ronk » Thu May 27, 2021 12:24 am

After Cummings dished the dirt today- who do you think will be the first casualty?
(Assuming he’s not telling porkies of course )

My Money Is on Hancock - I will be more confident of his demise when Boris says “he has my full support etc.

Cummings hasn’t really come up with anything that hasn’t been said or thought before.

Hancock is obviously in a weaker position than Boris but I don’t think he will go until the next cabinet reshuffle.

Biggest problem with Cummings is his credibility, if he hadn't of broke the lockdown rules with his far fetched story he could be taken more seriously today.

He always seemed a bit of an oddball when in Government a square peg in a round hole.

Does it matter? Liars telling lies about other liars is politics these days.
If Hancock goes, another liar will take his place.

And now claims that was a lie anyway.......................apparently now it was because his wife received threats but he didn't want people to know that?

Can't honestly see how Cummings can be taken seriously. It comes across as pure sour grapes and revenge for being sacked. He was the most powerful man in the Government, remember; Boris' puppet-master.

He said one thing that struck a chord with me and that was that a political system that throws up a choice between Corbyn and Johnson is a failed one. Don't know what it would take to get leaders of the calibre they have in Germany or New Zealand but it can't come soon enough.
