THE anger towards the PM’s senior adviser doesn’t seem to be dying down. Perhaps these punishments could satisfy the country’s rage?
Hold a resignation referendum
Voters would be asked whether Cummings should remain as Johnson’s Svengali or leave the corridors of power. Both sides will be stuck in an angry impasse after the remain camp prints ‘We send people on 60-mile round trips to test their eyesight’ on the side of a bus.

The ruined castle dates back to the 12th century so it’s probably full of scary ghosts. If the brain behind Brexit can last a whole night chained up in its creepy dungeon we’ll say no more about his questionable visit there for at least a week.
Force him to wear a suit
Dom’s beanies and ratty t-shirts are enough to report him to the fashion police, not just Durham police. Making him wear a suit and tie to work like an adult will make him squirm in discomfort, although there is the risk it could make him go full Lex Luthor.
Spank him with rolled-up copies of The Spectator
Key workers would be invited to thrash Cummings with such prescient Mary Wakefield articles as ‘Like so many parents, I’m a panic junkie’ and ‘Getting coronavirus does not bring clarity’. The scheduled spanking would begin 30 minutes later than planned just to make him sweat bullets.
A march of shame through Islington
