Wow, this isn't actually a parody piece. Ingenious Tory policies.
We have one last chance to stop Britain's descent into a post-Covid socialist nightmare
Even a vaccine won’t halt the Left-wards drift of a society permanently scarred by lockdown
'The dream of a dynamic, post-Brexit buccaneering Britain would be dead and buried: there is no path for the UK to thrive, no combination of other ingenious Tory policies that can save us if our tax and spending levels end up at Continental levels.'

Kuenssberg and Peston's Christmas have been ruined
Going to have to find another source

Good fecking riddance. I'd like to know how this wanker got to be so influential in the first place.
Are they all going to jump ship before Brexit?

I'm confused by Kuenssberg's tweets. Does she start with the premise that her source isn't Cummings before giving it up in the next sentence, or is she pretending like she has another source who for some reason she's decided to quote even though Cummings has told her he's off himself?
Ta Ra blind cnut.
You have to be wrong there, that has to be a parody.
Shame. I hope he finds solace in the new Advisor role that he'll be getting at one of the unfit-for-purpose companies that were given multi million pound coronavirus contracts.
Man I wish I could photoshop, what an opportunity.

Christ, finally read the whole thing and it's predictably moaning about sponges and free school meals. He wants taxes and welfare spending cut. Nothing new in there, just wrapped in wrapped in hyperbole and furlough and covid this time around.
Buccaneer. Pirate. Unscrupulous.
Sounds about right.
I do love how these types try to romanticise the world of politics. "Dog Eat Dog", "Imma Pie-rit", all that good stuff about the British Empire etc.
Course she has been told that, your job is to hold them to account Laura not convey their messages.
Have an odd feeling we're going to be hearing a lot less about what "Senior sources at Downing Street" are saying from Laura

Good riddance to an utterly unpleasant prick.
Didn’t he get shafted by Cummings?
resigned because he didn't agree with Cummings
Strong chance that box is empty.
Boris will be lost without his puppetmaster.
He won't know if his Cummings is goings.

No, "senior No 10 officials" don't get to use Barnard Castle when the feckers defended him for it.Sadly nothing to celebrate, as his contributions to British life will be felt for generations.
She starts with the premise that 80% of the baying electorate are pitchfork carrying half-brains and ends a message placating the sensible folks.
No! It’s full of his ideas!
He'd need a pretty thick skin to take that job though, having been shat on from a great height so quickly last time.
I laughed
Wow! Big news!
now can the rest of the leave twats go too

Don't like Nigel, but he's probably right as to the reason for his resignation
Is this Cummings thing not just a continuation of the Tory strategy manufacturing artificial 'end-of-era' moments which allow them to distance themselves from things they did wrong 'before the change' and capitalise on a repeated 'Honeymoon' periods?
e.g - Johnston's Tories being presented as a clean break from the exact same Tories under May, and under Cameron, except now it's post-Cummings Tories as a clean break from Cummings Tories?

I think the leadership itself is more important there, but this itself is probably a step in that direction given Stratton is now taking more control.
