on this point we will have to agree to differ - he's no outsider, he's part of the swamp. and it's a massive over-simplification to blame the 'party system' for throwing up cr*p individuals, they will always climb like Cummings. Labour and Tory are both two parties disguised as one, a different electoral system (i.e. PR) might encourage more authenticity and would be preferable to having a Cummings-led think tank full of elitist weirdos cr*pping on the public while believing they're doing them a favour. He is a tw*t and what gives it away is that he now acts appalled at bojo's lack of integrity while he had no problem with it before he was sacked. He doesn't seem that keen on Brexit anymore either - he's just a psycho and it's all a game to him, nothing he says about bj will make any difference, like Trump bj knows how to appeal to the c*nt element, reviving the economy at the expense of coffin cheaters will appeal as a realistic bottom-line policy that can't be made explicit.

So he openly admits to trying to stage a coup against a democratically elected PM yet people are lauding him for his honesty and the importance of his words. All I see is an embittered advisor who potentially committed treason. Bringing down a government for personal gain at the expense of the country surely must have severe consequences .

As someone who has lost someone to Covid I personally think this odious little s*** should crawl back under the rock he came from. He could test his eyes on the way.

History may not remember Boris kindly but I doubt it will remember Cummings at all, but him sitting there like a faux preaching God having been part of the swamp is hypocrisy at its finest.

I find what he is doing far more insulting to those who have lost someone than a Government trying to balance multiple opinions all of whom think they are absolutely 100% correct.

Nasty piece of work. I'm astonished people like him are allowed to work in the public sector without all the confidentiality restrictions imposed on civil servants. Irrespective of what Boris may or may not have said he needs to keep his mouth shut.

Agree, he is a nasty piece of work. However, what is truly astonishing is the influence he clearly held with the Governments whole approach being devised/driven by him.

What is also incredible is the lack of judgement of BJ in being associated with him in any way. Unfortunately, given the daily shambles associated with the current administration on so many levels, it is not hard to imagine that an awful lot of what he says is true- especially Johnson's rank unfitness for office.

As someone described him on the radio earlier today - a narcissistic megalomaniac!
For those who hate Boris it is manna from heaven but in anyone's eyes this is a dangerous man - acting like a scorned ex-lover or employee.
What he is saying should not be allowed - you just cannot have people spilling the beans on what goes on in Government - sorry - bang out of order.
I am sure that a tone of stuff gets said behind closed doors and some of it will be outlandish and not for public ears and that is the way it should be.
This will stifle democracy - the man is a turd of the highest order.
