Cummings is a proper nutter. An ideologue with the ear of the executive. Remember, he’s not interested in Brexit or BJ, his target is the process of government, and the civil service. That is in no-one’s interests, left, right, or down the he middle old school like me. I wear linen shirts with pleasure, but wouldn’t have ever to the office. In such details resides the mischief. I’m strictly persuasion not oppression but if he were my neighbour, well, his environs would have been comprehensively rearranged by now. Country before ***t.

I disagree. Johnson is an opportunist but also a craven politician who needs to stay in office. Cummings has no such judge. Take it from me, he’s nuts. It’s a co dependency of lunacy. I hate the expression, but it’s a perfect storm. Anything could happen. And I don’t mean to sound unduly alarmist.

Remember the May's 'back office' and the damage they did? THiS guy makes them look like Noddy and Big Ears.

I think that Johnson will bring back the withdrawal agreement with a tweak or two he blames on the EU, and scare soft Brexit MPs into passing it. Or he calls a GE on a harder Brexit platform, to stave off Farage, and gets a large majority. Either of which fill me with horror tbh. But I think that’s where we are. If we, the broadly liberal, in the oldest and best sense of the word, wanted anything else we’d have bl**dy well got off our ar**s sooner to stop it. And if “we” can’t do that, I’ll be looking for somewhere else to spend the rest of my life tbh, as this country will change for the very worst.

Originally posted by DracoM View PostRight,. well that's your careful take on it al, but now tell me what Dominic Cummings is going to do? He's in essence the PM.
Apart from bullying and hectoring and being an invisible Rasputin?
Can't see Cummings retiring to his wife's Northumbrian castle, but a memoir must be on the cards. Or restructuring of the Civil Service.
As a Liberal, I wouldn't trust any of them.

Originally posted by Beresford View PostI think the plan, if there is one (#165) is Dominic Raab's, executed by Cummings, fronted by BJ. Probably no-one else knows the whole story.

Fair comment.
Mind you, as a liberal, I wouldn’t trust the Liberals.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.
