My MH would be better if he wasnā€™t PM.

A whistleblower tipped off Labour about concerns that Cummings might have been turned during the three years he spent in Russia as a young man.

All we need now is to find out Priti Patel is having an affair with Gerry Adams and Dominic Raab has applied for an allotment. Job done. All their anti-Corbyn ammo nullified.

Lammy and the Times would have known this over two weeks ago if they kept up-to-date with this site.

Can I just point out that the tweeter appears to be David Lammy, someone with a wee bit of form for invention and hyperbole?

3861

Yep.

But the article is real and in The Times.

Are you defending Cummings or just donā€™t have a view?

I donā€™t know how real the story is BTW. Just find it odd that your initial reaction is to lambast a Labour MP when a story about a Tory advisor is surely the meat of the matter.

Lammy is a remainer. This trumps everything else.

3863

A Labour MP who has gone on record essentially calling all Leave voters fascist.

There are a shitload of Labour MPs I donā€™t take seriously.

But yes, I do take issue with David and his Lammynated material.

3864

Lammy is an idiot but this is not his material.

Ok try this.

Any concerns or other views?

3866

Sadly, itā€™s not odd at all.

3867

Letā€™s see if they have any substance to this story beyond years working in Russia. By that token, we should be rounding up Peter Hitchens as a potential informant.

3868

Is Hitchens an unelected, unaccountable advisor to the PM who is avoiding being questioned about his conduct whilst already being found in contempt of Parliament?

@pap, are you sure you havenā€™t been hacked?

And I donā€™t just mean your Sotoniansā€™ account.

Deppo has started calling @pap Nuttall over on Twitter :joy:

Nope. Iā€™m 44, and have seen a lot of these things occur before.

The question of whether people are linked to Russia is one of those things.

Itā€™s the sort of allegation that needs to be true in order not to backfire. If thereā€™s evidence, great, get him arrested and give the Tories a scandal to deal with during election season.

If heā€™s not, then all those jumping the gun today are also handing out ammunition. The Times article contains very few specifics.

ā€œItā€™s the sort of allegation that needs to be true in order not to backfireā€

Howā€™s that worked out for terrorist supporting, jew-hating, communist spy Corbyn?
