I like the image of firing Matt Hancock 15 or 20 times. Like, fire him and rehire him just so you have the pleasure of firing him over and over again.

Cummings: "Matt Hancock should have been fired atleast 20 times"
Everyone: "Yeah we know"
Cummings: "Boris was useless and didn't know what was going on"
Everyone: "YEAH. WE KNOW"— TechnicallyRon (On all the platforms) (@TechnicallyRon) May 26, 2021

“My biggest failing was not having enough confidence in my own rightness” is so on brand it’s unreal.

Astonished to see all the Boris Johnson superfans saying the same stuff about Dominic Cummings that the rest of us have been saying for the past five years. I wonder, wonder, wonder what has made them change their minds?

What a day. Four straight hours of of testimony from a self-interested narcissist who has weaponised falsehood challenging the record of a self-interested narcissist who has weaponised falsehood.

To conclude.
Whitehall awash in Cummings casualties this morning: PM, Cabinet Office, Cab Sec, Hancock, Dept Health, Carrie, Cobra, groupthink, Dilyn the dog, behavioural science, TV watershed for swearing. It’s carnage out there.

And also this, very much this.
As the Cummings circus begins, please can no-one lose sight of the fact that we are talking about human beings – in their thousands – who did not have to die.
Who suffocated to death, before doctors like me.
Who were loved.
Who mattered.
Who could have been saved.
People.
