How many times do you estimate Shapps has texted Cummings (or indeed Boris) with the words 'YOU FUCKING OWE ME' by now?

I'm guessing 47

Someone I know was talking to someone else who is in the know is basically my information, can't say more than that, mainly cause it might be pish and somewhat in case it isn't pish and they get in trouble ;)

I don't think it'sĀ a secret. AstraZeneca had a press release.

Boris still nowhere to be seen.Ā 

Heā€™s still on paternity leave isnā€™t he?

No seen the hopeless cunt for weeks.

Dominic Cummings name spelt correctly never trended on Twitter once yesterday.Ā  Folk had to purposely misspell it in the end.

Apparently it's to do with connotations of his surname. Ā Ā Twitter doesn't promote anything that could be construed as linking to porn.

SackCummings trended for a while before being shut down so if it was porn algorithms they'd have picked that one off straight away.Ā 

See his lockdown tour could stretch to five events and LK was tweeted about a sighting a fortnight ago?Ā Ā

It's #sackcummiMgs that'sĀ been trending - and still is.

To follow your own argument, if Twitter had deployed a "GCHQ algorithm" to stop any reference to Dominic Cummings trending, then that would also have applied to #sackcummings.

The variant with 'M' replaced the original with 'N' after about half an hour. If it was triggering the algorithms would it not be immediate?Ā 

Alan Cummings has previously trended too although Scunthorpe hasn't although that might be because it's a dump without an interesting Pizza ExpressĀ

If for example there were 10000 tweets with the hashtag #sackcummiNgs which saw it trending, then it was "blocked", #sackcummiMgs wouldn't start trending until it hadĀ reached a similar number of tweets

Anyway, that's kind of beside the point, if there was a Twitter algorithm which filters out certain keywords, then that would work whether or not Cummings had been added to stop people going to porn sites or whether it was to try and hide what was going on with Dominic Cummings and if it had beenĀ the latter case, it hasn't been very successful.

It's embarrassing. When Boris got the gig I thought at the very least he'd be a good frontman - superficial and full of pish and wind, granted, but good at blustering things out. Instead he's just hid behind a succession of ineffectual cabinet ministers sent out in his place.Ā 

As for Cummings, fuck knows what he must have on them all, if the entire cabinet are prepared to make themselves look like incompetent hypocrites all to save the skin of one man.

Unless Boris makes an appearanceĀ its theĀ housing secretary in the daily briefing firing line today. Rather ironic that the transport and housing secretaries have been fed to the lions.Ā 

Meanwhile Captain Mannering chips in.

Some random internet talk is everyone else is straight up refusing to do it and defend Cummings.

Whilst it would be nice to believe that's true, I doubt any are principled enough

I actually wonder if he's grown a set and going to sack him on live tv - Throw of the dice if you like, as the government is crumbling within and surely there's a chance that'll impact voting intentions / no confidence motions

I'd stopped watching the pantomime a few weeks back - I might tune in tonight
