Been at work but reading that Nick Robinson might have given Hancock a booting in another interview this morning, did anyone see it?

Listen to Matt Hancock's excruciating interview on Dominic Cummings

The tense exchange lasted several minutes

There is something really sinister about this.

The man is clearly deranged and dangerous.

Heard about a couple of minutes of it earlier and he just refuses to answer the question about Cummings despite being asked repeatedly and gives his usual waffle that doesn't really answer anything.

Don't get this.

Why would people take their lead off Dominic Cummings?

Because he is our (unelected) leader? He decides government policies and bojo waddles off to put them into effect.

Outside of GOT I’m still hearing a lot of

“Leave Boris alone, he trying his hardest”

1. No he’s not

2. If he is, his “hardest” is crap and needs to seriously up his game

For wont of a single idea of how to run the country he is allowing a politically compromised savant to run the shambles on his behalf.

There is something weird about how people talk about him on first name terms, I don't think of another PM this happened with.

I prefer to use personal responsibility.

Have absolutely no interest in Cummings.

Sorry for repeating myself but it’s also revealing that calling him Boris signifies (to him) that you aren’t important to him. If you are important (ie family and close friends), you call him Alex.

Maggie disagrees....

'*serious face* Look...I am sorry you have had to experience that, but it is...it is...it is, indeed paramount TO the safety of our great nation that we...we....we.., that is to say all of us, that we EACH do our civic duty to ensure your extraordinary sacrifices are not in vain...the important thing now is we move on and we all do what is necessary'

That sounds fair and appropriate.....

A lot of people called Mrs Thatcher "Maggie". I recall lots of people refered to Harold Wilson as "Harold" too.

Not in my experience, some proper blue rincers have been scathingly brutal about him...

So Durham police conclude he's broken the lockdown rules.

What's next ? A fine I would assume.
