Boris Johnson’s chief adviser sets out his defence at modest folding table under media’s glare

Dominic Cummings’ usual place at Downing Street press conferences is lurking at the back in a scruffy T-shirt, glaring. So seeing him – the éminence grise, the backroom guy – in clean-looking shirt sleeves in the sunny No 10 garden, addressing the cameras, with his boss the prime minister nowhere to be seen, was an extraordinary inversion of the norm. And it didn’t get any less strange.

he is doing both, seated and subdued

But he didn't say he was sorry! Too arrogant by far!

He didn't make a play for the public's sympathy. He doesn't give a fuck about the 'public'. He went on so he could say I don't give a shit what the public think about it.

He didn’t make a play for the public’s sympathy. Yet more lies from the gutter press Guardian. ScumMedia

its unsurprisingly backfired for him and boris, and for Boris to state that shops shall open in 15th june is suicide. England is a joke a complete shambles, and all because of an incompetent shambolic PM and tory govt.

It was an act. He and his boss are treating the law abiding citizens with contempt

Please remember the “Millionaire Documentary” arrogance statement: “It’s not cheating “ Dominic Cummings Millions disagree.

UK Politicians Rules doesn't apply to them... It's always been OneRule for citizens & another for the Corrupt... They're getting £10,000 per month than the UK MinimumWage workers only getting 80% of their wage... These guys should be ashamed of themselves, the GreedyTwats.

You were caught. Just quit.

BorisJohnson MattHancock DominicRaab shame on you all for covering up and not being leaders. You are a vile gang one ruling for you and a different one for everyone else. Shameful Keir_Starmer call them to account

F - for a big fat failure

I don't think so, he was definitely not subdued, arrogant yes but definitely not subdued ...I can assure you that folk are ragin' that he didn't even apologise 😠

I place D.C. among the finest intellects this country has produced in recent years & I'm not at all surprised why the PM values his unmeasured upper storey. I feel he is a victim of his own success for I cannot help thinking the world sees him as an obstruction to its ambitions!

Public are not fools

Would it be ok for me to go out for a test drive to London and back just to make sure that I will be fit to drive to Birmingham later on because my eyesight is playing up a bit? - How on earth could that possibly make any sense?

Didn’t work m8. Nor your faint half truths and post justification of something yin did which was clearly very badly judged. Well actually just wrong.

His heart is definitely not in the right place.

Eyesight concerns?

So what do you want him to do stand and wave his arms about. You really need new headline writers

It appears Cummings doesn't trust Johnson to answer media questions. He holds a news conference of his own. Gives his statement. Answers questions Johnson takes daily covid briefing and dismisses questions about Cummings on grounds media got all the details already from Cummings.

Let them eat cake (the peasants that is).

Subdued he wasn't !

much ado about NOTHING. Morons.

He's a snake

He's pure evil, contemptible lier, no-one voted him in, he and his boss should be sacked!🧐

What a pathetic performance by Cummings but thankfully he has not fooled everyone

No chance of that unless we have all become idiots

He isn’t getting it.

When it comes to Cummings I VoteLeave

What an accomplished liar.

That's because he's arosed by all the attention.

man who uses a clause intended to protect at-risk children drives to his second home. The rest is just arse covering clap trap.

No sympathy from me, matey. Family outing on wife's birthday? Coincidence?

More like seated and sociopathic

Well he’s not getting mine.

Totally staged but didn't fool anyone.

He needs to go

Surely what you mean is “gives the facts of the story”? Isn’t that what you wanted? That’s what you said you wanted - well now you’ve got them. Stop speculating on how you can fry Cummings’ arse and try reporting on some real news for a change.

He was about as sorry as my left foot. I can tell you right now that it is very sorry that it can’t make its way up his backside very hard!!

Did he? news have already drawn your conclusion, regardless of what was said, but it's NOT about polititics

Who even takes the Guardian seriously anymore?

Seated and subdued, Cummings throws shit at the fan for the false reporting by Guardian Journalist's!

Initial reports suggested Cummings had been seen in Durham on 19th April. He only accounted for his actions up to 14th April - is there more to come? He defined the period of his explanation precisely, but not beyond 14th cummingsresign

You forgot 'arrogant'.

It's over, you lost.

The real con

Well there's no chance of that

Didn’t win me over. I thought he was hesitant, poorly prepared, and embarrassing.

And fails

Can’t see why being “seated” is at all relevant and watched this twice, “subdued” is not the adjective that sprang to mind on either occasion.

I think this is done. He said his bit, the mighty press core all had a go. Let's move on.

I'm not sure Heather Stewart and I saw the same interview. His heart's in the right place... what's that got to do with it! His actions were muddled headed and he flaunted the lockdown rules. He should resign.

As the de facto prime minister he had to sit there and fumble his replies while looking like he had only done the right thing, as yesterday showed his bumbling puppet is incapable 🙄the worst thing is he’ll probably get away it, cabinet’s full of jellyfish

Didn't succeed. No apology, no contrition, no acknowledgement that his actions were wrong from start to finish.

He will never get that! DominicCummngs must go and so does BorisJohnson

It’s a no from me!

Did you all vote for this weasel? Or is he Boris luggage?

And fails.

And loses

It didn’t work!

Not from me!

And failed miserably

It was pathetic and unedifying!
