One possible explanation is that the #departentofeducation was aware of the problem and subsumed dealing with it into the "building schools for the future" of capital investment launched by #edballs towards the end of the #labour government. This was cancelled in 2010 by the incoming #conservative and #libdem coalition government. Not clear whether this was the #treasury - #georgeosborne - or the #departmentofeducation - #michaelgove advised by #dominiccummings .

After all, it was #DominicCummings, architect of the #covid lockdowns, who violated his own rules, drove 275 miles to see his family, then took a detour to visit a scenic castle, and finally insulted every Briton's intelligence by concocting a story that this was all necessary to confirm that his eyesight was in good working order (no, really).

#BorisJohnson, in conversation with #MattHancock, #SimonCase, #DominicCummings, and government science advisors #ChrisWhitty and #PatrickVallance.
England, I despair of thee!

#NadhimZahawi wanted to be a PM! It goes to show how deep the corruption lies within the #tory party. The party is riddled with corruption. #BorisJohnson and #dominiccummings have destroyed the #UK political arena #rishisunak #GavinWilliamson #SuellaBraverman #dominicraab #matthancock #nadinedorries

A comprehensive thread from the other place with details of what #ArronBanks, #CambridgeAnalytica, #DominicCummings ,#VoteLeave, #LeaveEU and others got up to in the dodgy #2016 #brexit #referendum https://twitter.com/RaveCozensHardy/status/1606341832966918144
Even though there have been few political or legal consequences, the conduct of the 2016 referendum must not be forgotten, so that any future referendum can be protected against the criminals and spivs.

@mikegalsworthy RichardSharp's 'vision' is a transparent attempt to spin the BBC's new position as lapdog to the #Tories. And #Labour where #Brexit is concerned. The #BBC were also quick to yap furiously at #EmilyMaitlis for correctly pointing out that #DominicCummings broke lockdown rules.

Fantasy cellmates after the inevitable #ToryCriminal trials later this decade. #MichelleMone and #DidoHarding. #BorisJohnson and #DominicCummings. #SuellaBraverman and #PritiPatel. Any other suggestions?

The #UK's a strange parody of #democracy that the only reason #RishiSunak is #PrimeMinister at all is that #DominicCummings didn’t like (dismissed) one of #SavidJavid's #PoliticalAdvisers during #BorisJohnson's joke reign as #PM. Not even an inkling of an election anywhere. It reads like something out of badly written soap opera.

"Remember, the media is totally and utterly unreliable on Russia. It has both ignored many awful aspects of the Putin mafia state for 20 years and invented nonsense about it. While individual journalists can be honest, you cannot rely on any serious corporate and generally enforced journalistic standards."

"After 1991 we also discovered that at various points we had come much closer to the brink than had been realised at the time because of accident and confusion, the famous ‘fog of war’ applied to nuclear."
We don't spend enough time worrying about #NuclearWar, and the Ukraine situation is very dangerous.
'People, ideas, machines' II: catastrophic thinking on nuclear weapons

@athairbirb When I ask myself, should he resign over this? -- I don't know, it doesn't seem substantial enough. But for the vast number of people making sacrifices it must be so, so frustrating. The #Tory MPs must be getting restless.
Well, someone who doesn't mind the pence probably doesn't mind the pounds either. If this is what's been going on for office management, probably there are errors in bigger matters too. In fact, hasn't #DominicCummings been claiming No10 is a disaster?
That's from #DominicCummings Substack, https://dominiccummings.substack.com/p/the-pm-on-hancock-totally-fucking
The attacks on #MattHancock are questions of fact for which one should hear the other side; but the comments about #BorisJohnson 's poor performance in the #covid19 crisis are devastating because they sound so much in character.

Quite amazing how #DominicCummings rips into the #Covid19 response of #BoJo's administration. You'd almost think he has zero influence on what this government did rather than pulling the strings throughout the worst times. Rat, ship, sinking. #GreatBritain

So finally #Downingstreet10's door has made hard contact with the sodden arse of #DominicCummings. About effin' time that this irresponsible and utterly shameless Rasputin of #BoJo's #Brexit campaign has gone. The loss of Trump finally shows some effects, not in the United States yet, but in #Britain. The wheels are coming off that rightwing #populism train. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/13/pm-accused-dominic-cummings-of-briefing-against-him-sources-claim
