Has Cummings actually gone? Why wouldn't he go out the back door if he didnt want to make a fuss?

Has he just cleared his desk but will be working from home (from Durham) until Christmas?

I'm not taking a much joy in this as others are doing.

The media world doesn't know what to report on now that Trump has gone quiet on Twitter. Many people are suffering from Trumpitist as they now have to find something else to entertain them......waiting for 4 years of Trump TV....

I am the bridge between HR and Accountancy and hate them both.

Cummings gone for the optics.

Trump has *not* gone quiet on twitter!

He's still tweeting about alleged election fraud

BBC reports the relationship with Boris "went off a cliff" with Cummings.

I'm skeptical to as how gone Cummings actually is. The picture of Cain and Johnson after the "firing" in the Mirror article, seems to contradict the FT article (which JB has quoted and which I'd normally be more inclined to believe). The cardboard box, the press photographs, the chance for Boris to begin again, while Cummings can "sort track and trace" make me go hmmm.

Some feverish, we're going to see a softer Brexit deal, is already strangled at birth by Barnier's pictures of level playing fields and reports of going nowhere and the only thing we've vaguely made noises about moving on is the state aid stuff (which is Cummings baby admittedly, but as the papers point out, a strange socialist hill to die on).

The only hope I do have is that the new planning legislation (presumed consent), no longer has its most enthusiastic driver and in face of mounting Tory mp opposition, will be quietly disappeared.

It might stop some of the attacks on the civil service too.

But yes, I'm sceptical about how "gone" he is too.

I doubt the presumed consent bill will be halted. Too many all expenses paid trips and brown envelopes for that.

It's a delicious irony that, at least where I am, many of thy places that have been fighting against development for decades, in some cases, are staunch Tory voting areas. I've had a bit of fun on various FB "Stop the developers" groups pointing out that this was what you get when you vote Tory. I've actually been banned from one. I don't think I've ever been banned from anything before.
