See my post earlier, #9 in this thread.
Yeah I read that too, his ideas are amazing especially about things like "seeing rooms" etc.

No wonder he has been so successful, he even states on his blog that the reasons he will help win the election is because the left won't read it.

Re: Dominic Cummings to leave Downing Street by Christmas

His close pal resigned and thus he lost a crucial member of his support team who would back him up in debates and disputes. With that support now gone it would not surprise me he decided to leave now rather than wait till the end of the year.

His one good grace in my opinion was him taking on the long established dig their heels in civil service. He said it was time the civil service was over hauled and he tried to make it happen.

Re: Dominic Cummings to leave Downing Street by Christmas

Dominic Cummings' 'hard rain' civil service reform, security overhaul, BBC shake up and now even Brexit are in doubt as maverick No10 chief departs and PM signals 'softer' approach

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-approach.html

Dominic Cummings' departure leaves question marks over some of the key policies he has been driving through. The maverick No10 chief has been the main influence on an array of issues since Boris Johnson became PM. Many of his pet projects were the subject of extensive blogs he wrote even before entering government. But their fate now appears to be in doubt as Mr Johnson signals he wants to take a softer, more consensus-driven approach - rather than the combative tactics deployed by the former Vote Leave mastermind.
We shall see .....

Re: Dominic Cummings to leave Downing Street by Christmas

More and more I am wondering what was talked about when Boris rang Jo Biden a few days ago.

Re: Dominic Cummings to leave Downing Street by Christmas

Why didn't we see any gleeful rejoicing of him planning to leave by the end of the year when he told you in January, saying this:
"We want to improve performance and make me much less important — and within a year largely redundant."

It's funny how the conspiracy theorists are letting imaginations run riot over this but denying events in the USA.

Probably not what you are hoping for according to this today as the PM's spokesman said this just this afternoon:

“The government’s position in relation to the future trade agreement negotiations is unchanged - that we want to reach a deal but it has to be one that fully respects the sovereignty of the United Kingdom.”
