Remove Dominic Cummings as Government Key Advisor

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Dominic Cummings is having undue influence on the government and helping to make decisions that are not in the best interest for this country.
Cummings was instrumental in brexit which many in the government including Mr Johnson initially didn't want. HE, changed people's minds. This has led to tens of thousands of EU Nationals leaving the NHS.

He has since been instrumental in government decisions on coronavirus (mitigation rather than suppression) which means we're soon to be the epicentre of the disease.

He's also been instrumental in limiting information to the media, especially if its those that do not support the government.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't publish petitions about honours and appointments, which includes calling for a Special Adviser to lose their job.
