Amusingly I think Bojo's dithering has made it difficult to get rid of him now - the tory base has heavily bought into the idea that he did nothing wrong and they are currently frothing mad at Baker for surrendering to remainer smears.

The blood is Boris's. With his laziness and stupidity he is totally dependent on Cummings and the Tories know it. They're acting now to get rid of him.

Could be that they thought they needed somebody with brexit credentials to stick the knife in and not get called a remainer traitor/MSM puppet by the tory base. I don't think it's working though.

It's a shame for Shapps that he comes across as a generally decent guy - it means that whenever the government has to send someone in to appeal to the masses following their own fuckups, he's at the top of the list. We should all get used to seeing him on these interviews.

Yeah honestly coming out with his kids, in cool shades and owning the press saying he was doing the right thing not trying to look cool is actually a good tack to take

Got to say, Pippa Crerar and Matthew Weaver have played an absolute blinder by sitting on half of the story while the Tories scrabble around to defend Cummings at any cost - only to then release the second half of the story today.

there's never been any friendship or loyalty between Cummings and Baker.
remember he said of the ERG they "should be treated like a metastasising tumour and excised from the UK body politic” and other such flattering things.

https://www.politicshome.com/news/a...ew-brexit-party


so being called on to resign by people he openly loathes and who have been wanting him out for years is - given Cummings' own narcissism - only going to make him want to dig in more.
which will make the now inevitable defenestration this week even more amusing.
