Dominic Cummings Is Ready With The Coup De Frace
From the Sky News page referencing the Downibg St Police officers :
Cummings says he will not speak to Sue Gray in person - and warns more damaging stories will come out about Boris Johnson
Dominic Cummings, the PM's former top aide, has told subscribers to his substack page that he will not speak to Sue Gray in person due to concerns his former boss will "invent nonsense" to discredit him.
Instead, he has given his account in writing to the civil servant investigating Downing Street parties.
And Mr Cummings warned there will be more damaging stories about the PM until the point he steps - or is forced to step - down.
The ex-aide writes: "It's reported everywhere that I am seeing Sue Gray today. This is wrong. I am not seeing/talking to her. Why?
"Since leaving government I've tried to help with a few things, some directly and some very quietly.
"One such thing involved discussing the security services. Only me and two officials knew what I said. They briefed the PM. Within minutes, one of the lobby infamous for being a stooge was calling the Cabinet Office making claims about MI5 and me. The officials apologised and said, reasonably, the system doesn't work when a PM behaves like this.
"So when SG asked to speak to me I emailed to the effect: if we speak the PM will invent nonsense and spin it to the media and you and I will both have problems, let's keep everything in writing, therefore he cannot invent things I've supposedly said to you, there is only a written record, this makes both our lives easier. She agreed. So I have answered questions in writing and will answer further questions in writing if she wants. But I will not speak and therefore provide the PM with more chances to lie and confuse everybody."
Mr Cummings also expressed concern about flaws in the investigation process - namely that Mr Johnson will see everything Ms Gray collected.
"This inevitably means that evidence, including photos, is not given to her and instead will keep leaking after her report. (To stress, this is a consequence of beliefs about the PM's integrity, not SG's.)"
Sounds very damning !
