Cummings won't last I don't think. He's out of control already.

Depends how publicly out of control he gets. He clearly runs the show for Boris behind the scenes. I wonder if Boris is strong enough to run it himself, or smart enough to employ someone with the same skills who isn’t a psychopathCummings won't last I don't think. He's out of control already.
I wonder how intelligent he is.

He seems to have a surface level understanding of different subjects, know who the smart people are, and what is potentially a smart idea. This is a useful skill set, but still different from being the enigmatic genius he is being portrayed as.
Don't worry, if he wants to move the story on he'll just shit out another blogpost and wait for the BBC's political editor to tweet it out again.Cummings won't last I don't think. He's out of control already.

He's Bannon. Miller is 4chan Osborne.Which Steve is Dominic Cummings in the UK version? Bannon or Miller?
One Conservative MP from a BME background said: “I’m not necessarily against hiring intellectually interesting people with sometimes controversial views, but this guy just doesn’t seem very smart, and if you are not very smart and at the very least appear bigoted that cannot be a good look for the party. By all means we should be against ultra-woke nonsense, but we should also stand against alt-right nonsense too.”Which Steve is Dominic Cummings in the UK version? Bannon or Miller?
I think having ideas and being able to recognise that you need smarter people than yourself to implement them is clever. Knowing your own limitations is a good skill to have.
Former Tory minister Caroline Nokes, chairwoman of the Commons Women and Equalities Committee, said: “I don’t know him from a bar of soap, but don’t think we’d get on ... Must be no place in government for the views he’s expressed.”

I wonder how many HS2 ministers will be fired before a high speed train goes from Birmingham to Euston
I'm sceptical that an ex insurance broker and local councillor with no former experience in transport or infrastructure is the best person to get their head round a £100bn civil engineering scheme.

Liam fox is available who I thought did a good job at international trade and particularly with getting ukef to fund some large infra schemes and better connect with UK businesses... Would have been my shout though whoever gets it has a poisoned chalice ...Chris Grayling is available.
D'oh!
This seems to be building. Not at all surprising.
