Too many things to show Mr Baker is a bit of a diddy. I'll let people make their own mind up........................https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Baker_(politician) PS TBH no sure how I'd look on a Wiki page. PPS After reading as much as I can stand on this issue I'm undecided. There's a fairly obvious personal reason he could have made this decision. There's also the possibility there were other options, although family support, IMO, would always be my choice.

Bud the Baker Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Both Dom & his wife wrote about their Covid experiences without mentioning their journey to Durham so it's clear they knew what they did was not, erm, kosher. Cummings has been "economical with the truth" and over the issue of contact with Durham police dishonest, there may just about be a loophole in the hastily drawn up legislation to excuse Cummings actions but overall it's just another example that we're not "all in it together". His resignation/sacking will be decided in the court of public opinion and by colourful Tory MPs like Baker, if Cummings remains it'll undoubtedly be because he, erm, knows where the bodies are buried. ******************** PS - That's a second Tory MP Simon "Tis pity she's a" Hoare calling for Cummings sacking... Erm, make that three now - Sir Roger "blowing a" Gale... Damian "The AntiChrist" Collins makes it four... Quote UPDATED: 7 Tory MPs have now called for Cummings to go: -Steve Baker -Simon Hoare -Damian Collins -Sir Roger Gale -Sir Peter Bone -Caroline Nokes -Craig Whittaker Plus William Wragg has re-tweeted Mr Baker's tweet, suggesting he is of the same view.

stlucifer Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I've just watched The Andrew Marr show where the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, was attempting to justify Cummings breaking the rules so his sister and niece could leave food on the door. It was like a scene from Yes Minister. A family with their income and doubtless finances should be able to organise help while obeying the rules. Also. Travelling hundreds of miles while the wife Had the symptoms and, with a small child on board, it's inconceivable that they made the journey without stopping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they would have taken them approx 4-5 hours. However, stopping doesn't mean they came into contact with people, certainly anymore than anyone going shopping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate who is a the director of one of the major banks, told me that consensus in the London business fraternity is that Boris will be emptied at the earliest point possible after this crisis. He burst out laughing when I mentioned that Sunak had been mentioned as a replacement. Much as I detest Johnston and what he represents I think there is a lot of wishful thinking going on here.

I agree but two things spring to mind 1) He didn't know if he could keep social distancing at any given stop, and 2) No one should be going shopping while potentially having the virus so that point, I think is moot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On point 1, easily by taking food and care IF they had to stop. Agree 100% on point 2 so, moot right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all political point scoring for them. Not interested in the catastrophe they have helped create. Tells you everything you need to know about these callous sociopaths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
