Good to have at the heart of the Government a man who explicitly recognised the democratic need for a, indeed sold Brexit on the basis of a, referendum on the final deal.
A senior figure at a broadsheet described to me Cummings setting out his detailed plan to win the referendum to the editorial staff. They listened in increasingly disbelief. Eventually one said: "what, you're just going to lie your way to success?"
And @bbclaurak will be thrilled. Cummings operated by giving little gems to favoured journalists and she faithfully tweeted out his blogs; a symbiotic relationship where his lies and smears were given the widest possible audience.
