What utter knobs. Feel free to use more explicit language!

Isn’t it convenient that they turned on the disappearing WhatsApp messages option.

    Frankly more needs to be said about Dominic Cummings’ ties with Russia. Towards the end, for some reason, he was allowed to tour the UK’s nuclear weapons facilities.

        Because there is a lot of evidence of Russian involvement in Brexit, elections and generally destabilising the UK, and I think it’s possible that Dominic was their man on the inside. Hell, immediately after Boris became PM he seemed to not really be present in his role, leaving Cummings - an election campaign advisor, not an elected politician nor a civil servant - to fulfill many of his duties. Even without an affiliation to Russia, that’s dodgy as fuck.

          Is there? There’s never been any substantial evidence of Russian interference. It’s all just guesswork and “oh, well they might have done”.

          No one has presented any firm evidence to show that it has happened. And even experts on Russia say that the threat of Putin’s interference is exaggerated.

            There’s plenty of substantial evidence. However, when it came to investigating it, we got a report that essentially said “We didn’t find any evidence of Russian interference, because we didn’t look.”
