Yes, there are photos of the PM at parties under investigation.” This is only the most recent explosive claim made by Dominic Cummings — this time in a Q&A on his Substack website — designed to nudge Boris Johnson’s premiership to an end. It comes hot on the heels of a juicy NY Mag interview this week, in which Cummings declared that removing Johnson from power is “an unpleasant but necessary job. It’s like sort of fixing the drains”.
It has long been clear that dispatching Johnson is the project that now fills Cummings’s days. Just over a year since the PM’s former right-hand man left No 10, he still appears to be working overtime to become the PM’s bête noire. It would be jaw-droppingly surprising if none of the leaks driving the partygate scandal were coming from him — and if he is not in cahoots with others in Westminster.
