Only a genius like Boris Johnson’s former right-hand man would have had the wisdom to keep stumm until now
And … relax. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Super Dom! At a time of heightened worries about national security, who better than Dominic Cummings to shine a light on the murky world of spying?
The man who turned a drive to Barnard Castle into an advert for SpecSavers. The man who gave us Brexit. Which one of us didn’t vote for a 4% hit to GDP? The man who gave us Boris Johnson. Truly, Dom has enriched us all over the past 10 years.
Here’s what Dom knows about Dom. Not to put too fine a point on it, Dom knows that Dom is a genius. The cleverest man in every room in which he finds himself. Though some might argue he should try finding some other rooms. He is the master of the double-double bluff. The man with the infallible strategy for winning at Traitors. Come the evening’s roundtable, vote for yourself to be banished. That’s the last thing anyone would expect a Traitor to do. Eat your hearts out Jonathan Ross and Alan Carr. Mere amateurs.
So when Dom speaks, it falls on all of us to listen. Even if he has yet to take personal responsibility for anything he has done. And after giving an interview to the Times on all things Chinese early in the week, Cummings has followed this up by appearing on Robert Peston’s Talking Politics podcast. Here he goes into greater detail of lapses in national security.
