MY THOUGHTS: Why isn’t Cummings resigning?
- Thinks he didn’t do anything wrong (obvs)
- But also judges public either don’t care or are sympathetic to his position, he is judging mood better than journalists and MPs, hence his reference to Brexit at doorstep yesterday (1/3)

But Cummings is a disruptor, so calculation - Conservatives have 80 seat majority, no election on horizon, how can he be sacked if PM backs him
It’s the ultimate battle between journalists/commentators/MPs who he holds in low regard thinking they can push him out (2/3)

While he has power to resist - it’s a battle I’m sure he would relish
It could be all three, but if the latter weighs heavily, surely that test is unforgivable in a pandemic given that it seeks to have muddied the governments lockdown advice and subsequently public health (3/3)

Reason I have come to this conclusion because it is exactly the same play book he played in government last autumn with suspension of Parliament etc
But this time it is about him and we are in the middle of a pandemic
Stakes couldn’t be higher - for everyone! (+1)
