For what it’s worth, my take on current events👇🏼
Mistaking incompetence for strategy is problematic when incompetence is the strategy
1) Creative Destruction
Cummings, a modern day Robespierre, with majority can crash the country over a cliff in order to rebuild from scratch

2. A Cabinet of Incompetence
What better way to achieve a blizzard of “deadcatting” than to appoint useful idiots like Williamson, Patel, Hancock, etc to the cabinet?
Their vanity alone is sufficient to maintain the illusion as they grab the media cycle

3. PM’s are Puppets
Not to be confused with “strategic incompetence” the level of incompetence as a strategy extends to the PM himself who is dependent on the puppet master
Again vanity alone is enough for Boris to think he’s in charge

4. Mick the Knife
Michael “the knife” Gove is no doubt biding his time & sharpening the knife to stick it into Johnson a second time
BoJo will take the fall for the calamity about to beset us in England 🏴 to be replaced by Gove whose vanity blinds him to fact he’s another pawn

5. Two Evils
Helen Keller wrote:
“We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee”
Think Gove & Starmer on May 2nd 2024 or sooner

6. Thatcher’s Children, Blair’s Babies
“The legacy of Thatcherism for left-right and libertarian-authoritarian values is its long-term shaping of public opinion through political socialization”
As a boy Cummings had a poster of Thatcher in his bedroom*

7. Westminster & the EU
Cummings, hiding in plain sight, wrote in The Telegraph
“All parties are suffering a talent blight because the crucible of democratic society - local civil society - is being destroyed by centralisation in Westminster and the EU”

8. Game Theory
A fanboy of Von Neumann, Cummings is an advocate of “Game Theory” a process of modeling the strategic interaction between two or more players in a situation containing set rules & outcomes

10. End Game
The $64K Q - what is all this for?
It could be that in taking down Westminster & the EU, Cummings foresees the completion of the neoliberal project & a “democratic renaissance be catalysed & services improved, via tough local competition for money, people, & ideas”

At this stage your guess is as good as mine
I’d recommend staying above & not getting distracted by the everyday news cycle, look where the ship is heading &, if unhappy, chart a different course

12. The Interregnum
Make no doubt, the status quo as we knew it is going to collapse - this is not only the plan but the way of things
A better question than why? is what next?
Do we collectively design the new status quo or do we accept what is given to us?
Time will tell
