SPaDS are different ... they advise, unlike MPs who are law makers

Re: Boris Johnson plots 'Revenge'
I was wondering what a SpAd is, so I looked it up:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_adviser_(UK)

But any of these justices can be removed on address by both houses of parliament. So there is a form of democratic control.
Boris' grudge, and some here, is that the judges found his actions were not within the boundaries of the law. He just wants revenge, like any puberal schoolboy does.

As an adviser that's his job - to advise on what needs to be done, but because Cummings is so brilliant most of his recommendations make perfect sense.
As an example, he is recommending that public money is spent on objectives rather than process. This would save the country billions on red tape and "group think" instead of delivery.
Don't get confused between a SpAd and an unelected EU bureaucrat - the two are very much different.
You should read his blog about "seeing rooms" its fascinating.
