Boris Johnson’s former top adviser Dominic #Cummings launched a sweary attack on Western support for #Ukraine.
“This whole Ukrainian corrupt mafia state has basically conned us all and we’re all going to get fked as a consequence,” he argued. “We are getting fked now right?”
He argued that war would only strengthen the relationship between #Russia and #China, saying Western nations “pushed [Russia] into an alliance with the world’s biggest manufacturing power”
Another #Brexit 'benefit' that was entirely predictable that #UK government chose to ignore. Shortages of some medicines IS the new norm. There MUST be a #PublicInquiry and the criminals that forced this country out of the #EU held accountable. #Johnson#Gove#Cummings and cohorts should have faced serious criminal charges rather than rewarded for their wrongdoing. By rights they should all be in jail.
Now that fucking #Cummings is back in the news (where has he been, and why didn't he stay there?), I am reminded of a Tweet of mine that dates from whenever this picture was taken:
"I've worked out who he reminds me of: this is the guy who approaches you after a meetup in Shoreditch, thrusts his iPad under your nose, forces you to look at the shitty slides for his half-baked business plan, and tells you he's seeking a Technical Co-Founder"
He called a senior female civil servant by the C-word
He claims he could have made things work better had he been listened to - it seems to me he was a major part of the problem in a Downing St that had become totally toxic
Scotland in the "precious union of equals etc etc".
2014: “Lead us; don't leave us!" (Cameron)
2020: Meetings with the Scottish Government and other devolved administrations during the pandemic were a "performance" where truth went to die. (Cummings)
"Dominic #Cummings has described meetings with the Scottish Government and other devolved administrations during the pandemic as a "performance"."
"A WhatsApp message... from Cummings to Johnson... said: “You need to chair daily meetings in the Cabinet room – not Cobra – on [the emerging Covid situation].
"Not with the DAs (devolved administrations) on the f****** phone all the time either so people can’t tell you the truth.”
I can never forget Cold War Steve's heart-breaking works on UKGOV's deadly response to COVID, these aren't revelations from the COVID Inquiry, they're just confirming what we all knew AT THE TIME.
Now, please remember that this is a man who has built his entire career on lying to people. So no matter how much you want to believe what he says, it's probably best not to take anything he says too seriously unless he can back it up with documentary evidence.

"To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody but yourself - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight - and never stop fighting." - E. E. Cummings
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” ― Dwight D. Eisenhower
