Enter The Domini Canes...

We- by which I mean the British electorate- should be reading Dominic Cummings' blog- because he's running things now. I don't pretend to get all his references- but it's surprisingly readable (racy even) and his drift is clear- though drift is entirely the wrong word because he's surging not drifting. What he plans to do- using the Johnson government as his hammer- is entirely remake the British State- starting with the Circumlocution Office Ministry of Silly Walks Civil Service. Out with "the public school bluffers", in with the "misfits and weirdos". It's a heroic aspiration- revolutionary even- and will be furiously opposed by those with cosy jobs and cosier pensions at stake...

My other half was not a 'public school bluffer'- just damn good at his job.

Cummings hasn't a clue and needs getting rid of pdq!

Wouldn't touch him with barge pole- he's not a fan of social minorities.......
