Waiting for Sue
As everyone waits for the report on parties at Number Ten from Sue Gray, here’s an interesting profile of Dominic Cummings, the “chaos maker” behind the drip-drip-drip of Boris-related scandal.
“[Cummings] believes that gifted people are repelled by politics. ‘When you talk to them, increasingly their attitude is: Politics is a shitshow, government’s a shitshow, we don’t want to get involved with that, you’re dealing with clowns, you don’t build anything.’ Instead, “a lot of these people prefer to build their own kind of walled garden where they can feel like they’re building something that’s worthwhile and creating wealth and doing their own thing and thinking increasingly: How do I insulate myself from politics and government? All of which is a very bad thing.’”
I only live a couple of streets from Cummings and I can’t say I’ve ever seen him being followed by camera crews, but the rest of it is an interesting take.
