Johnson's defence of Cummings sparks anger from allies and opponents alike

Boris Johnson has staked his political reputation on saving the career of Dominic Cummings, amid growing anger among Conservative MPs that the No 10 chief adviser has not been forced out for breaking lockdown rules.

Source for second trip was a liar. Usual rubbish.

Mr Matthews (the jogger) said of the Strava post: ‘I made that up afterwards, a few days ago in fact. I modified it for a little bit of comedy value. ‘I undid it later, I’m sorry. A bit of comedy value even if it was really inappropriate. Guardian need to retract. FakeNews

Dominic Cummings showed poor judgement, he should not be a Chief Government Advisor, end of.... RESIGN!!

Why is he so scared? Boris isn't good at doing favours for allies remember the guy he was going to get beaten up?

I don't know why anyone would be surprised at this. Johnson's whole premiership has been one long display of arrogance, matched only in its scope by his utter incompetence.

Did you forget he was a total shit because he got sick?

At first it was just Cummins that had to go, but after that earlier today Boris has to go too. We can’t have such a coward in charge of the UK.

Congrats tory voters This one creepy bas is more valuable than millions of you Hope you are happy knowing you are worthless 👏👏

No one saw this cumming...

Trust me?

Johnson the new Trump has his own “Rudy” and cannot let go.

Is this Cummings Al Capone moment? (and by default Johnson's). After a career committing all sorts of atrocities he eventually went down for tax evasion.

I’m going to be unpopular for saying that the press, TV news and social media, particularly Twitter aren’t going to come out of this well either. Absolute dregs of society, all of them.

There can be no faith in this PM, Johnson must go

What allies? The list must be huge based on your headline....I can wait for you to co.pile this enormous list..

Doesn't Cummings have a young autistic son? 🤔 Would you care to comment about your own article? Cummings Brexit

I'm with Boris and Dom. Still plenty of snakes to get rid of in Conservatives. Baker needs to be gone.

I'm shocked everyone's shocked what did you expect from this lot

From an Irish woman, from now on can you restrict your invasions to Durham or anywhere north, south, east or west of there without crossing any sea. Yours sincerely.

Good. So it should.

Its the public opinion that count and those lot your flouting are all traitors! No laws, Rules, Legality broken , just a GUIDELINE! FakeNews needs to get a grip!

Johnson is really quite tone deaf with what must be the worst memory ever. Really shameful. Unbelievable.🙁😢

You can't take it on the chin if you weren't born with one BorisJohnson

Not sure it was a Johnson defense, more like good doggie rolling over for a belly rub!

What is happening with the hair of this people !!!! Tump and this one are really a show on that department!

Two despicable human beings johnson cummings Sooner these Tories are gone the better

So what, I wonder, does Cummings have on BorisJohnson? What other reason could there be for his absurd attempt to justify Cummings’ indefensible actions. He broke the rules that the whole country is expected to keep. End of.

Chicken 🐔🐔🐔

No one gets it.The only reason these clowns gained power in the first place was because the opposition was an even worse prospect. 2020 and we are seriously lacking quality, on the House of commons front.

But are they gonna fine him

Big mistake, Boris!

I’m not sure their allies. Most were remainers and looked over for cabinet positions...

But his voters?
