Dominic Cummings keeps saying that he doesn't actually think he's that clever and has now realised it was crazy that anyone thought it was sensible to give him so much influence and control, which is making him worryingly relatable.

I knew it was gonna be dumb but didn't quite expect this.

I know nobody will be held accountable for any of this but i like to think there'll be a few ministers having some sleepless nights at least.

"Corbyn would have been terrible too" says Cummings, utterly unprovoked.

Corbyn woulda been better than bojo but imagine a new Corbyn government with a small majority having to derail its plans to transform society or have a big messy labour civil war to deal with covid as 2/3rds of labour MPs and every other party try to sabotage the response.

It woulda been a loving nightmare too

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

At least Sedwill is not cabinet secretary any more.

Cummings isn't a Tory, he's a mercenary. Possibly - probably? - working for Putin; he spent several years in Moscow and refuses to discuss what he did there.

The "who do we not save?" question doesn't bother me, to be honest. People were always going to die and the question of where our efforts were going to be channelled needed to be asked no matter who was in charge. It's the answer to the question that the Tories must be held accountable for, not the question itself.

I did not but definitely would have had I seen it - I stopped reading NTK around 2003 because I changed jobs and for some reason I was having it sent to my work account at the old place. TBH I assume the tailoff in their numbers was caused mostly by this as the tech sector ate itself.
