At least Cummings hasn’t taken full advantage of the situation.
Oh, he has:
He suggested that Mr Johnson’s wife Carrie Symonds had played a role in the decision to hire Mr Javid as the new health secretary. Mr Javid resigned as chancellor in February 2020 - the culmination of weeks of reported tensions between him and Mr Cummings, who was said to have been key to the subsequent appointment of Rishi Sunak.
Mr Cummings tweeted: "So Carrie appoints Saj! NB If I hadn’t tricked PM into firing Saj, we’d have had a HMT with useless SoS/spads, no furlough scheme, total chaos instead of JOINT 10/11 team which was a big success.
“Saj = bog standard = chasing headlines + failing = awful for NHS. Need #RegimeChange.”
Having been accused by a child of hitting him (which could have ended my career) and having had the CCTV footage showing quite clearly that he was lying, and having used CCTV to identify who set fire to the paper skip, and having seen how CCTV was used by the police to identify who broke into the a school to nick a few computers, I’m not particularly against their use.

That could most definitely have ended your teaching career.
Thank goodness you had that cctv footage…it could so easily have turned your life into a nightmare without it…
Former Labour health secretary Alan Johnson said when he was in the position formerly occupied by Mr Hancock, there was no camera in his office.
He told Sky News: “I could never understand why there was a camera in the Secretary of State’s office. There was never a camera in my office when I was health secretary or in any other five cabinet positions.”
Asked about the rule that cabinet ministers are not allowed to be monitored by anyone other than the security services, he added: “It goes back to Harold Wilson’s time, although of course our telephone conversations; there’s always someone listening in, as a member of your private office, to get a record, so you’ve got some… back up for what’s talked about.”
Intrigued. Looks likes this was planned plot to oust him.
They should be concerned about this. From same article.
Another security breach was reported: sensitive defence documents containing details about HMS Defender and the military were said to have been found by a member of the public at a bus stop.
The quote from Alan Johnson is interesting. He said there were no cameras in his office when he was there. How does he know??? There may well have been, but since they were covert…
Yes, I read that too, I reckon we need more cameras not fewer, considering there’s quite a lack of common nous. Especially among some we are supposed to trust and respect for their dedication and intelligence.
