This @thetimes article on Dominic #Cummings is Cummings’ & #No10’s spin to rehabilitate him after recent media attacks. It may work, because, typically, it conceals well its aim... However, it reveals also worrying traits. See below 1/several...
thetimes.co.uk/article/domini…

1. #Cummings was mentored at #Oxford by Prof Norman Stone. theguardian.com/books/2019/jun…
2. He had ‘an unsuccessful spell setting up an airline in post-communist #Russia.’
3. Cameron described him as a ‘career psychopath’.
4. His wife is @spectator writer Mary Wakefield. 2/several

5. He deliberately got himself, wearing T-shirt & jeans - in famous photo of #Johnson being welcomed by Sir Mark Sedwill in No10.
6. He is not a back-room operator. He loves the limelight. [hence the film ‘The Uncivil War’ and this article...] 3/several

7. He doesn’t think #EU will offer an acceptable deal.
8. He is not afraid of the ‘disruption of #nodeal’ [interesting, slight word in article - should be ‘catastrophe’].
9. #Johnson, ‘despite his pronouncements, is perhaps his antithesis, caring more about power itself’. 4/5

10. ‘Real question is whether Mr #Johnson shares Mr #Cummings kamikaze vision to achieve #Brexit.

Here ends the lessons of this article of No10 spin.

Conclusion: Our Government has an anarchist as its CEO - #Cummings - and that is exceedingly dangerous. 5/5.
