The prime minister’s decision is not born of loyalty to his adviser – he just can’t get rid of his ideas man, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Perhaps on Sunday you watched the entire nation being lectured on what constitutes fatherly responsibility by Boris Johnson, a man who won’t even say how many children he has, and leaves women to bring up an unspecified number of them. Perhaps on Monday you watched the Guardian’s Rowena Mason being lectured in journalism by Johnson, a man sacked from a newspaper for fabricating quotes from his own godfather, and who blithely discussed helping a friend to have another journalist beaten up.

Nailed it as usual MarinaHyde he’s not fooling all of us

You. Put. Him. There.

What an amazing article. Kudos Marina!

NHAparty It’s so comforting to know that someone other than the Prime Minister is privy to the inner workings of Boris Johnson’s mind. Perhaps Marina Hyde and the Guardian can also devine the winning lottery numbers.

Britain's Johnson...concerned about ... Cumming !?

I've read this column and I still don't know the key message, why he hasn't gone. Less flamboyant sentences, more facts.

'Cummings is the talking car to Johnson’s Hasselhoff.' Sums it up so well

Only remainers want him sacked!!

AggersJ6 Read last week that Hancock is on borrowed time in this Gov. If true that would actually weaken this cabinet, not something I thought possible

Another 'truth' about DC Like all the other truths.

Excellent article - very well articulated.

The truth is he's done nothing wrong and no PM worth their salt is going to sack someone because the press say they should. You disgusting media snakes are keeping Mr Cummings in his job.

People are reading this rubbish and are complaining to their MP and MSPs. Guardian reporters are now gutter press. Listen carefully to the DC statement and get your facts right. There is another alarming story in there and its not the journey is the reasoning in the beginning.

No wonder Guardian journalists plead with the public to buy newspapers.

Wonder what Cummings has on Johnson...🤔

The truth is your vile scummedia mis reporting telling lies . Your not for the people your the elite snowflakes in ivory towers .

It's because Cummings is very good at his job and you aren't. Hence him running rings round you as and when he chooses.

If it's coming from the grauniad, you know it's fakenews

Bojo is a puppet with Cummings hand up his arse! Right up to the elbow!!

It’s all most as if this new, the lying, the cheating, the narcissism, the racism... but was still preferred to a deeply principled, egalitarian politician who has spent a lifetime fighting for justice & equality..! So please stop your fake moralising now

The difference is that Macbeth Lear and othello all started with an honourable streak or had some redemptive qualities that were overtaken causing tragedy. They became antiheroes. Johnson never had that

Well done marinahyde and - great piece.

Marina is psychic Or is it psychotic

Some of you will now realise you have voted for a coward... as well as a liar!

Good article

We're truly through the looking-glass.

Guardian writers now sending threats of violence?

I see you employ psychopaths....

Obviously.

Aphorism of the year, so far: 'All populists secretly hate their people'.

So has anyone got to the bottom of why he kept everyone waiting for 30 minutes was it to confirm that he had woven all of his known sightings into his 'story' I wonder if one had been kept back by the police if it would have been a different account? Spectator article was amusing

Look at his face , face of an selfishness impression

the culling is coming

Nobody interested in what you have to say. That's why your newspaper will soon be dead and gone. You do not speak for the majority in this country I'm afraid because of your lefties bias.

It is very reassuring to know that the two most powerful men in the country had a phone conversation which neither of them can remember much about.

FakeNewsAlert

The Left are so bitter and angry. No wonder they struggle more with mental health issues. A serious problem for many of them.

Great article! Thank you.

if this was really about the virus, the MSM would be talking about the improving situation - they're not For Guardian, & the majority of the MSM it's not about the virus, it's purely political Many people just aren't buying what you're peddling anymore

For better or worse, those responsible for selling Brexit to the British public must be the same tasked with delivery.

Something unexpected happened during this pandemic: the UK became a team, working together in lockdown against a common enemy. We all took a hit in order to come through this. Cummings refused to sacrifice. Didn’t lookout for others. This has separated him from the people.1/2

Left to his own devices, Johnson would probably quit brexit again if Gove had anything to do with it. He couldn't even decide which team to bat for until he was pushed and without Cummings he'd have to face all the flack alone.

Fu*k me, this is perfection.

Fantastic summing up 👍

Cummings knows where the bodies are buried.

Johnson made such a bumbling hash of avoiding questions and failing to justify his support for Cummings, he clearly gave Cummings the job of creating a cynically doctored version of events (and a clean white shirt) to dig them both out of the silage. Manipulative liars both.

ScumMedia

However much these Tory elites get their eyes tested they'll remain blind to the injustices they produce in both their actions and their policies. Gove's words today have a definite ring of Marie Antoinette to them.

MarinaHyde “The truth...”? You should be done under trades descriptions act. It isn’t the “truth” at all. It is the OPINION of a Birkenstock wearing hairy-toed lefty hack who has always hated Johnson Cummings and the Tories.

Excellent stuff.

Excuse me who is the boss here .. aha maybe there is something in the closet that he threatens with to make public if sacked .. blackmail maybe ..

10DowningStreet will need Cummings' permission to fire him anyway

No, he won't sack him because he gets things done for the good of the country and the numpties don't like it. I have never seen a worse case of harassment over one man. Well done Boris loyalty is something to be cherished.

More fake news

His rubber ring.

How can you state that is the 'truth'?

We don't mind if johnson wants to get out too. Corrupt to the core.

The real reason is that the police have not found him guilty of any crime. Trail by media does not count. Especially when the guardian keeps playing tricks to keep the story in the news. Why doesnt guardian go after real villains like kinnock?

live footage of Marina Hyde's opinion machine churning out another piece ...

This is all going too far&is reprehensible.Why doesn’t the government show some integrity &follow the example of the Dutch PM Mark Rutte Who didn’t visit his mother dying from Covid 19 out of respect for the lockdown. That’s called leading by example. Our government is despicable

mediascum ScumMedia

No he is not, and your motivation is driven by the exit strategy out of the EU. How long is left to manipulate an extension period?

Of course—‘The thing about playing to angry mobs is that eventually they get angry with you’...playtime over.

Witch hunt continuing then

Well it was said on the conspiracy websites (The Truth Seeker)that he is part of the Illuminati, so yes he is its his boss

Dominic Cummings is the captain of this ship, and Boris Johnson is just a cooper. StayElite

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😀

this kid warms my heart🥺, support his mom to bring joy in to his life

Excellent piece.

This obsession with Cummings is showing how desperate the Media and the leftists are trying to stop Brexit. It’s nothing to do with the pandemic.

Well duh

boris has nil ideas about anything he is like a non swimmer in the sea & cummings is his lifeboat.

pairi pained hai Julius saahb! tussi theek ho jaayo!(roman punjabi) you have forgotten to wear your crown! wear it and enjoy the vacations!😊

The truth about why the Left want Cummings gone from 10DowningStreet - they are too terrified of him.

Or maybe Cummings knows where the Brexit skeletons are buried, which is why both Boris and Gove are too terrified to oppose him, and appease him at every turn. I mean, I’d do everything I could to keep out of prison if I was a megalomaniac who had broken the law. Hypothetically.

Utter rubbish & no need too either..

How can state that is the 'truth'?

Boris is being led by Cummings, the real question is who does Cummings work for?

Or maybe there is no reason to sack him. Fixed that for you, you`re welcome.

Dominic Cummings has become exactly the person he built a career telling us to hate | John RentoulCummings portrayed the London establishment as a class apart. Now he's become everything he once hated | JohnRentoul JohnRentoul It was simply low-life hypocritical envy! JohnRentoul I reckon the only solution to this Cummings situation is to publicly execute him, drag his body though the streets, and then hang it in a cage at the Watford Gap for the crows to peck at. That will clear things up. JohnRentoul The Tories have always taken the nation for mugs, but despite what they have done, the masses will still vote for them even every time without fail! Well then, don't complain-what you are complaining for? you voted for it - be happy fools!
