Removing Boris Johnson from Downing Street is, like “fixing the drains”, “an unpleasant but necessary job” Dominic Cummings has said.
The Prime Minister’s former adviser turned sworn enemy has dismissed the lame duck Prime Minister as a “complete ****wit” in his latest assault in his former boss.
Cummings worked in Downing Street as Johnson’s chief adviser until November 2020 when he lost out in a power struggle with Carrie Johnson, the Prime Minister’s wife.
He has since played a key role in highlighting the “partygate” gatherings in No.10 during lockdown.
Tory MPs could move to oust him Johnson leader depending on the results of her inquiry and as the PM’s Johnson’s future hangs in the balance Cummings has come at him again.
In an interview with New York magazine, the Prime Minister’s former chief adviser dismissed Johnson as a “complete f***wit”.
Cummings said Johnson was now “rattling around in there [No.10] and f***ing everything up for everyone and not doing the job properly”.
He also accused the prime minister of having being obsessed with whether Big Ben and told Cummings he was the “f***ing king around here and I’m going to do what I want”.
Cummings said: “I was sitting in No.10 with Boris and the complete f***wit is just babbling on about: ‘Will Big Ben bong for Brexit on the 31st of January?’ He goes on and on about this day after day,” .
In the lengthy interview, Cummings accused Johnson of thinking of himself as “a Roman emperor”.
Cummings said: “The only thing he was really interested in — genuinely excited about — was, like, looking at maps. Where could he order the building of things?”
Cummings has said he is willing to “swear under oath” Johnson lied when claiming he did not know in advance that a May 20, 2020 gathering would be a “drinks party”.
Cummings has revealed he has provided written evidence to the investigation into Downing Street parties during lockdown and claimed “other damaging stories” will emerge until Boris Johnson is out of office.
