The most amazing thing is Dominic Cummings name has never trended on Twitter this whole time. Strange that.

3 of the top 10 are Cummings related so it is trending, so let’s not make out there is some twitterati coverup going on aye.

His name doesn't show up though does it?
If you search for "Cummings" on Twitter then it shows up, so it isn't just the profanity filter stopping his filthy sounding name.
It doesn't have to be a twitterati coverup, but there's something weird going on.

You can search for it, but it probably is profanity filter preventing words starting with “cum” in a trending Item

But if you search for "strawberry float" or "banana split" then it doesn't suggest anything. Whereas a search for "Cummings" does.
And words starting with "cum" do trend, it's only his full name (spelt correctly) that doesn't....

You are assuming they do trend, I don’t know of a word starting cum that has.
It could also be cumming is blocked, which is a pretty large proportion of the name.

So "cummimgs" can trend, "Cummings" comes up in a suggested search, but "Dominic Cummings" cannot trend?
Ok.

Ok.
Search and trends will have different rules. You can search for anything and it will show if you have the block naughty search’s disabled. But if you allowed people turn on or off naughty trends it would cause issues I guess so I would imagine all trends are subject to profanity filtering and if I was making a list cumming would be in the list of trends I’d prevent.
You are trying to see conspiracy in what is very much likely the result of a few if statements and wildcards.

You're wrong with the search. As I said "Cummings" comes up with suggested results , "strawberry float" doesn't.
I've not suggested there is a big conspiracy here either.

We've always known that was crypto-speak for "we don't want you to talk about this" but this might be the most blatant it's ever been - clearly coordinated, desperate, almost begging insistence to not "politicise" one of the most obvious political scandals in recent memory.
