For me, Cummings’ sneaky blog edit, so that he could claim in the presser that he was a prophet of coronavirus in 2019, is key. It shows he’s a compulsive liar. Just addressing questions was not enough. He needed to try a sneak another little ‘win’ in. He’s incredibly dangerous.

Those final results, expressed as % change from 2015, are remarkable: UKIP: -82% Tories: -24% Labour: -4% Lib Dem: +109% Green: +273% The notion that Tories shed seats because “people just want them to get on with Brexit” doesn’t fly when you look at where those seats went.
