They should certainly consider keeping him on some sort of retainer for the 2024 general election campaign. Like him or loathe him the guy was a brilliant, invaluable strategist when it came to delivering a yes vote in 2016 (the C4 drama Brexit: The Uncivil War starring Benedict Cumberbatch is worth a watch) and a landslide election win for Boris Johnson last Christmas. Within day to day government though he clearly rattles too many cages. It might turn out to be the right move for the Tories as they govern in a very different environment to the one Cummings would have planned for.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

It amuses me how some folk hold this chancer in some sort of reverence. Sold a massive lie and left the country to pick up the pieces. We are told he has this incredible political instinct and dizzying intelligence; he didn’t demonstrate either of those things in that ego led rose garden appearance. He got access to good voter analytics and bet his house that fear would be a more powerful motivator than hope and won the bet.

I made a prediction over a month ago that Johnston will not be PM at Easter. Especially as the Cabinet are full of highly talented decent human beings 😉

You have a very strange understanding of the word brilliant. I would replace that with underhand, devious, lying or any other number if words but brilliant wouldn't be one of the

I understand the criticism of Cummings and agree with a lot of it, but it's hard to argue that he hasn't achieved a lot for himself and his acquaintances. I can't speak for G B Young, but that's what I took he from his post above about the Tories considering keeping him involved in some capacity.
We can criticise his press conference performance all we like, but the reality is it helped to achieve what it was intended to achieve - it kept him in a job.

The skimming of cash for his pals and relatives from the public purse in the middle of a global pandemic is just weirdly ignored.

I’m not sure the timeline for Cummings-gate being a smokescreen really fits. He indiscretions came to light in late May while the contracts to Tory-donors came to light initially in mid-July and were headline news in early-August.
If they weren’t public knowledge until mid-July, a smokescreen in May seems a bit redundant.

He didn’t ‘outsmart’ anybody.
To most of us, he’s just an evil ****.

Johnson doesn't seem to be a leader at all - takes orders from Cummings then when he wants to jump ship at a time of his own choosing takes orders from back-benchers. What a muppet he is. A walking talking oven-glove in a wig.
