Basically hes the prime minister. Elected by nobody, accountable to nobody and pulling all the strings. Very sinister. |  |

More than likely, but he wouldn't have been on SAGE,and he hasn't broken electoral law as far as i know | | | |

The previous chair of Sage has said it it unheard of. Never has a political advisor sat on such a committee before now. | |

The final comment from Downing Street worries me:
"Public confidence in the media has collapsed during this emergency partly because of ludicrous stories such as this."
How long before the term "fake news" crosses the Atlantic?
Ministers are always talking about transparency but the public aren't allowed to know who attends the meetings that are shaping so much of our lives right now. Pathetic. | |

What a lot of drivel. Of course when the PM is not available he sends an observer to meetings in his place. | | | |

He should send another elected minister not some random Rasputin | | | |

Does the PM attend SAGE meetings? I thought they had private meeting and reported back to him? |  | | |

Apparently NHS workers have been warned about not saying anything detrimental about the Government handling of the pandemic on social media. | | | |

Think you Cummings critics should stop reading the Guardian. It calls the SAGE meetings 'secret'- so secret it writes an article about it. Or you could secretly go on the HM government website to read about SAGE and get a reality check.
Or as said on the news review last night the Guardian are so continuously critical and hate Cummings so much they should use 'we hate Cummings' as a banner headline and save column inches for more important news | | | |

The content is what is 'secret' not their existence. Cummings is a disgrace as is his monkey Boris. Millions of lives at risk and Johnson couldn't be arsed to turn up 5 times to Cobra meetings. Gordon Brown attended every one for foot and mouth and that didn't threaten human life directly. |  | | |

Government website tells you next to nothing about the meetings.
If you don't believe The Guardian, try this morning's Express:
“The Government has so far not named any members on the SAGE committee, although pressure on Downing Street to disclose more details about the group has been growing in recent days.”
Where are the minutes published (they are for the Scottish equivalent)?
OK, not exactly secret, but not very open either. [Post edited 25 Apr 2020 15:17]

Perhaps they have good reason. For someone who hasn’t stood for election and feels above select committees, he seems to wield an awful lot of power. | | | |

Dear oh dear
This is the issue, even when confronted by the fact people are being led a merry dance by Boris and his posh mates who think they can do as they please there will always be those who think everything is ok | | | |

I suppose it depends on Cummings’ contribution to the meeting and what he subsequently fed back to the Cabinet. | | | |

No-one should support the eugenics nutter who was only in job for 5mins before he left in a hurry. Cummings breaking electoral law? He's certainly angered plenty of journos by never giving them any quotes.
Btw to be clear; I've no idea whether Cummings is a good or bad influence but then neither do you or anyone outside the Westminster bubble. He is certainly is well educated as is Boris, but so is Diane Abbott! My main opinion to take most newspapers' comments with cynicism -entertaining they may be but always factual nah! | | | |

He broke electoral law during the Brexit Referendum,that is fact.Just because somebody is intelligent it doesn't preclude them from being a knob does it?
That he wanted the eugenicist in government tells you a lot about his character. | | | |

Don't diagree with any of those views. But I don't agree with some that Cummings is a second Rasputin or the man who is really running the country. Time will tell. | | | |
