Have written for @TheCriticMag on the failure (so far) of Dominic Cummings & Michael Gove to live up to the radical ideas they espouse in their writings & speeches: thecritic.co.uk/dont-do-as-i-d…
Cummings knows that alternative viewpoints within a team make it stronger; yet he merrily purged dissident Tories.

He thinks little of MPs, but this government is repeatedly forced into U-turns by backbench rebellions - even with a majority of 80.
thecritic.co.uk/dont-do-as-i-d…
Cummings is one of the few characters in Westminster recently who will, genuinely, think the unthinkable: eg 'paying tribute to terror victims is bad'. None of that true radicalism has yet filtered through to the government he (almost) leads.

Newly released Sage minutes reveal that on 13th March, govt scientists warned that 'seeking to completely suppress spread of Covid19' through a full lockdown would lead to a second peak in the virus, even as lockdowns were starting to be imposed across Europe.
'SAGE was unanimous that measures seeking to completely suppress spread of Covid19 will cause a second peak. SAGE advises that it is a near certainty that countries such as China, where heavy suppression is underway, will experience a second peak once measures are relaxed.'
Re decision to allow Cheltenham (10/3-13/3) and Liverpool-Atletico (12/3)

5/3: 'SAGE agreed there is no evidence to suggest that banning very large gatherings would reduce transmission'
10/3: 'SAGE noted that public gatherings pose a relatively low but not zero public risk'

Update on new rules for Hongkongers seeking to live/work in UK: Home Office appears to confirm that if China presses on with security law, *all* 2.9m 'British nationals (overseas)' in Hong Kong will be allowed to come to UK whether or not they *currently* hold a BN(O) passport.
Details at homeofficemedia.blog.gov.uk/2020/05/29/med…. Latest figures show 349,881 people hold BN(O) passports but many more are eligible to apply for one.
The new rules would also apply to dependents of BN(O)s who would be allowed to join them in the UK, according to a govt spokesman.

Jacob Rees-Mogg tears into Nick Boles: "My honourable friend makes a characteristically Wykehamist point - highly intelligent, but fundamentally wrong." #savage
Then tears into Oliver Letwin: "I must confess I've sometimes thought my right honourable friend for West Dorset is more a Wykehamist than of my own school. But never mind."
