Funny how Dom and Don, Cummings and Trump, fall together.
Cummings I’m sure has contempt for Trump but he probably has great respect for Stephen Bannon, or at least did have until the latter broke the 11th commandment and was caught with his fingers in the till. Nobody has yet been in the dock from Vote Leave or for government contracts awarded in the Covid era to Cummings’s associates without being put to tender.
Yet.
Carrie Symonds is probably “chaff”, a non-player in Number 10. Haven’t she and Johnson split up anyway?
The parallelism might just be an artefact of how the US presidential election (3 Nov) and inauguration (20 Jan) sandwich the build-up to the end of the Brexit transition period (will cross-Channel trade continue harmoniously or not?), but I doubt it.
