Signing off now at the end of a day in which the Scots Tory leadership threw its weight behind the 'Get Cummings' movement.
I'm strangely content in the face of this.
Why?
It has exposed their uselessness a year before elections and opened up space for better alternatives.
The media have behaved dreadfully on the Cummings story. This isn’t journalism — it’s a witch hunt. The media are out to destroy the man they hold responsible for Brexit and for Boris’s victory in the General Election. It is completely political.
Brendan O’Neill on @talkRADIO:
No one is talking about the fact that the media story about Dominic Cummings has completely collapsed. So much of what the media said about Cummings’ trip to Durham was untrue. It really was fake news. That’s the real scandal here — media misinformation.
Brendan O’Neill on Sky:
The public must lead Britain out of lockdown. The elites have invested too much of their reputation in the lockdown to be able to admit it is a catastrophe. It falls to the people to restore liberty and get Britain back to work, says Brendan O’Neill https://t.co/cJ87qdBjEn
