Dominic is Cumming to a venue near you!

[Boac]

From 'The New European":

With apparently little else to do, Dominic Cummings is to try to cash in on his time in government on the after-dinner circuit – and has signed up with an outfit called Chartwell Speakers.

One leading booker tells me, however, that his earnings are unlikely to make it into the £1 million-plus league that his old enemy Theresa May has already achieved. His problem is he remains unknown in America where the real money is to be made.

"His speaking style is also not altogether impressive, and, not to put too fine a point on it, the sort of right-wing Republican groups that might have some interest in him would be turned off by how he dresses and looks," he says. "It's a strange phenomenon on that circuit that the men generally speaking wear well-cut suits and have a lot of hair, or at least impressive comb-overs."

Boris Johnson's former chief spin doctor is described by Chartwell as a "keynote speaker", and, for all his shortcomings, it's likely to worry Downing Street that he indicates he's happy to talk about how the pandemic was handled, among other subjects. It could make life awkward for Chartwell's founder Alex Hickman, who Johnson appointed as his special adviser on business, appointments and honours last year.

As well as signing up to deliver talks, Cummings, pictured, has set up a new private company, which he has chosen to call SIWAH, incorporated in February. It's described as an "information technology company" on its paperwork – the same line of business as his last business, Dynamic Maps.

I heard that his first after-dinner booking is at the Macdonalds Drive-through in Barnard Castle. Let's hope he can find it?

Tonight's news is fascinating... " Hell hath no fury like a Cummings scorned... " as he turns on Boris Johnson, ripping and tearing....

Guardian: "Dominic Cummings has launched an unprecedented and extraordinary attack on Boris Johnson, alleging that the prime minister tried to quash a leak inquiry as it implicated an ally, and hatched a “possibly illegal” plan for donors to pay to renovate his flat.

The outburst by Cummings, a day after anonymous No 10 sources claimed that he had leaked private text messages between Johnson and the billionaire James Dyson, prompted Labour to accuse the government of “fighting each other like rats in a sack”.

No ****, Shylock.

And that it happened that Cumminins would not occur in his mouth.

Miss Wossername would be appalled.

She really needs to get a grip.

Translation?

[OFSO]

Indeed. That was a somewhat incoherent post by UP. I tried rearranging the words but it didn't help, nor did rearranging the letters....

[Boac]

Probably using PN's tablet?

Did you check the time?

Also a good advert for his motivational circuit speeches. Who would want to listen to what they have seen on TV or read in the press. The insider gossip OTOH......

I suspect blood alcohol level would be a better metric - DPP?

[G-CPTN]

Why would DC indulge in his current outburst against his former master?

More.

I saw a brief snippet live this AM, when Jeremy *unt was questioning Scummings, who pointed out that there was no 'PLAN' in HMG to deal with a pandemic. I watched a little more at lunchtime as i nibbled at my Caviar and saw that *unt was no longer there.

Found meself wunderin' if that were becos he were in charge of 'elf when Operation Cygnus findings that we 'ad no 'plan' were published......................................?

[1DC]

Apparently Cummings was appearing before two committees so *unt would only be at one of them. I suppose if the hypocrite hadn't been fired he would have been spouting a totally different story.

[Boac]

Ah! didn't know that. Busy man. He has apparently labelled Tony Hancock a 'liar'.

I wonder what Sid James would have thought of that? Poor old Tony was a far better man than **** Mat Hancock.

Old door Mat is a sniveling, lying wretch, much like Cumming's himself.

Many times. Well done Dom.

[Pontius Navigator]

Has the sky fallen in yet?

Does anyone care?

[TheGreenGoblin]

One should be concerned that such low grade bastards are running the country!

[Boac]

Does anyone care?

Strange comment, PN. Don't you think those who have suffered would care or do you think they should just 'man up'?

[TheGreenGoblin]

John Crace on Dildohead Cummings!

On the Prime Minister: ‘Fundamentally I regarded him as unfit for the job’

True, poor judge of character, first Gove, then Cummings.

Not so much primum inter pares, in the cascade of dubious or useless characters in government, the PM stands at the vertex of the triangle of incompetence and total unsuitability for high office.
