I dunno going by some of Cumming's previous comments I think the has more. He think it's his 'duty' to bring down the PM after all.

I would take his comments with a pinch of salt. He's not exactly the definition of honest

True but he's seemingly very invested in this so I would think there's something to his comments.

I can only go from the perception your posts give off and that is that you'd prefer a Tory government. Partly due to your constant criticisms of Labour regardless of how bad the current government do yet never anything on the Tory government and moving the goalposts regarding an apparent lack of policies/vision from Labour.

It shouldn't matter how other people make you feel, base your vote on the policies on offer that will do the best for your community and the country. 

I'd rather hoped my posts gave a perception of someone who is dissatisfied with the current Labour leadership rather than support for any other party but obviously not. I'd prefer someone who has more drive and passion and - well, a little less grey and dusty.

Tbf you weren't criticising Starmer but defending Johnson.

I guess Cummings suddenly had all this power, and then it was gone, and now he's all bitter and wants to seek revenge on Johnson. Cummings is obviously a clever bloke with all these ideas...but he also seems kind of childish in the way he has personal issues with so many people...just calling them shit or useless or whatever. Anyway, who knows what else he has on Johnson...and you're right we all knew what Johnson was like...but there he is, still in Downing St.

so...labour/environment standards can just be set (deregulated) by government...don't have to bother debating in parliament...we can all live by Bojo's standards (i.e. fuckall). Still, nice distraction and will get ERG all juiced up.

He can deregulate all he likes but if people haven't got money to spend his Brexit marvel won't even get off the ground

if he had more dirty he'd have used it already, this isn't the first time he's driven boris into a crisis , for things to then go cold.

So looks like Gray report with fuck all in it to be released today and then Johnson will do some apologising in the commons, won't happen again, no more boozy parties,  and then we can move on to getting brexit and covid and Russia and levelling up done.

I reckon a whitewash will be noticed as a whitewash, and the tories will lose support because its a whitewash, my guess is it'll be released before lunch tomorrow.

It's thoroughly depressing isn't it?

The only hope I can take from this is that the majority of the British public can see through this blatant cover up / smokescreen.

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
    • Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
