Ingham, Campbell and now Cummings seem to have spent most of their lives pissing off the media and being thus crap at their jobs.

Until the last few months Cummings had hardly been mentioned at all. But those few who try and find  dangerous people have known about him for at least 20 years.

These spin doctors are funny buggers. They are invariably totally loyal and tend to see themselves as latter day Machiavellis, completely ignoring the fact that Niccolo ended his life as the pub bore.

One point that springs to mind is that the interested public are better served by a "professional" spokesperson who understands the differences in what's required to initiate information and what's required to answer questions. Let's hope whoever gets the job is such a person and not a highly paid lapdog with a name some of the public recognise...

I would have thought there were more than enough Pinocchios within the Tory ranks who qualify for the job without advertising it externally.

While some people think David Icke a barking mad believer in lizard men, and maybe he is, he did do wonderful documentary some years ago criticising the process by which "news" media get the stuff they broadcast.

In short, one of these spads walks out of a side door of parliament, hands out a load of papers fill of biased bullshit and the bbc broadcast it as the truth.

If going down this road reminds people the source of their "news" is a sean spicer clone, I'm all for it.

Two previous such people I've read about are Bernard Ingram and Joe Haines, who were both personalities known for banning/ignoring off message journalists and MPs...

Lindsay Hoyle is critical of this (and isn't a Bercow clone)
