This of course is a classic black ops sting.
Cummings has faked his split with Boris and staged a very public fight with the government, in order to make Labour think has has turned.
What better way to place a mole at the very top of Labour?
Today the chattering classes and those in the Westminster bubble are having all their Christmasses in one ecstatic 4 hours; as Cummings gives vent to his personal vendetta against Westminster, Boris, Hancock and the civil service in front of a hearing of the Commons Health and Social Care and Science and Technology committees.
Meanwhile the country is looking forward to post lockdown life, and has already been informed about what went on in Cabinet on a regular basis by
-Cummings (via a 64 post tweet),
-Peston (the official spokesman of Cummings)
-and the rest of the MSM during the course of last year's leaks (presumably from Cummings).
Thus, aside from the breathless media, this will not be the shock and awe that Cummings and Gove had hoped for.
Meanwhile spare a thought for those in the media and in politics who up until now have totally despised Cummings, and have stated how many times that he is not to be trusted, as they now feed on every word he utters!
First biography of Keir Starmer set to be released 8th July. ‘A Life of Contrasts’ is written by former FT journo Nigel Cawthorne. PR release says it will find the man behind this “complex leader” and include “the girlfriends and his country roots.”

The Times reports that hundreds of Home Office civil servants will be moved to Stoke-on-Trent as part of a “levelling up” drive under which areas with poor schools will be prioritised for help.
Government departments are announcing initiatives worth up to £860 million as part of Boris Johnson’s aim to achieve tangible results for parts of the country that backed the Conservatives for the first time in the last general election.
A new tranche of civil service jobs will move away from London in line with the government’s commitment to move 22,000 civil service roles out of the southeast by 2030.

Some aides see it as a way of getting a broader section of the public to engage with him https://t.co/9OrpLXmGgl
This will end in tears!
To its credit, Labour has swiftly suspended Beckett (Unite's assistant general secretary) from the Labour Party for his vile tweet about Priti Patel.
Journalists have now bothered to do their job, and have discovered that the breathless headlines about a CCJ for £535 against Boris was in fact brought by a Covid conspiracy nut job.
The claimant is actually a Covid conspiracy theorist called Yvonne Hobbs, who’s used the Online Civil Money Claims service to accuse the PM of “repeated defamation”. She has also previously made legal claims against Rishi Sunak, Marks and Spencer, and Royal Mail.
Unsurprisingly the judgement will be "stricken".

-Kick out the Corbynites

Britain needs a credible and coherent opposition with a defined set of policies.
Survation poll puts Tories on 17 point lead in Hartlepool. Comes with the usual health warnings that this is just one poll, but it’s very bad for Starmer & Labour. https://t.co/iRv6WsQZEn

Both Keir and Boris are talking down expectations for Hartlepool and the rest this Thursday.
This despite the fact that the Tories look to win Hartlepool and a few more council seats, and the Labour/MSM wallpaper campaign showing some evidence of cut through with the voters.
Why the talk down from both?
We are not in normal times, the Tories are buoyed by the vaccine success, and Labour have had some cut through with the help of the MSM hatchet job on wallpaper. However, neither of these two issues will be with us foreever.
At some stage poeople will be focussing on what really matter:
-the economy
-jobs
-housing
-education
-health
-law and order
