Cummings Confessional: Your bingo card ahead of former No.10 aide’s Westminster tell-all
PM Boris Johnson’s former aide Dominic Cummings is set to give evidence to a joint session of Parliament’s Health and Science Committees on Wednesday.
The aide who shot to global stardom (eds: please check) with a now infamous trip to the ruins of Barnard Castle in Northumberland during the height of ‘Lockdown One’ is expected to deliver bombshell allegations about his former boss’s Covid-19 decision making.

Amongst the accusations we’re expecting to hear are that the PM said “Covid is only killing 80-year-olds” and that he wanted to model his response at the start of the second wave to “the mayor of Jaws.”
Mayor Larry Vaughn famously kept Amity Island’s beaches open in the Spielberg spectacular, despite the presence of a host of great white sharks. It ended poorly.
Anyway, roll up, roll up, for the great Cummings bingo show, provided by the good people of City A.M.
Pick your five and tune in for the show.
