Well, I for one, am sad that Cummings is going. He’s the living link to Vote Leave corruption. The reminder that the same govt that is bringing you Brexit, mass death & billion pound contracts to cronies came to power by deliberately subverting our electoral laws. What a legacy

A reminder of how much attention, BBC’s political team gave Cummings when Vote Leave was accused of electoral fraud (allegations later found & admitted). His claims of innocence & accusations against others were repeated. There was no other mention

And this was how his contempt of parliament was covered

This was well worth a read, I agree. But not for that reason. Nobody outside UK politics Twitter knows anything at all about Vote Leave fraud. BBC’s lack of appetite for story is central to that. Cummings’s traditional role as source is arguably some part of why. See also ITV
