Who on earth does Dominic Cummings think he is?
Perhaps the most outrageous comment yet to come from the lips of Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson's ex, very-ex chief adviser (unelected), was his claim to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that within days of Boris winning the mandate to lead the government as prime minister in 2019 he and a few other co-conspirators discussed ousting him and replacing him with someone he thought would be more suitable to run the country. No names and Kuenssberg didn't ask (!!) but he was probably thinking of Michael Gove whom he had worked for in the past. Two obvious quick questions: who the hell does he think he is and why does Kuenssberg keep on saying that it's so important to listen to what Cummings has to say because he was "gosh oh my goodness" Boris's chief adviser at the time? All she is doing is giving more and more air time to this fellow who clearly believes that the only person truly capable of running this country is Dominic Cummings. Sorry, but he is a nobody and if he really did consider easing Boris out of Number 10 I want to know who else was involved, how seriously did they plot it, is any of it on record - written or phone-spoken - and is anyone going to interview him on the grounds that he was engaged in activity likely to lead to the unlawful elbowing-out of the properly elected leader of the Conservative party and winner of the 2019 election by a landslide. Even if the powers-that-be are not interested in pursuing the matter, he should be put up for the award of the most bare-faced cheek quote of the decade. Kuenssberg should be told to stop giving this man any more interview time, although I bet he has a mass of other outrageous things up his sleeve.
