I applaud Cummings' efforts to remove the PM. But it was under his guidance that Johnson ignored laws, prorogued Parliament, lied to HM, attacked judges, abused the press, lied to voters, sacked civil servants, hired 'misfits' and surrounded himself with a cabinet of fools. 1/4
Knowing - as he claims - that Johnson was a dangerous idiot, a 'faulty supermarket trolley', veering wildly from side to side, it was Cummings that trashed every single constitutional bulwark, designed precisely to keep an errant PM's course broadly straight and true. 2/4
If Johnson is the wrecker, Cummings is the enabler. It was Cummings that ensured 'Big Dog' was off the leash, causing maximum damage.

More: What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
Roper: I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
More: Oh? And, when the Devil turned round on you – where would you hide, the laws all being flat? 4/4
