Dominic Cummings: "Tories Dead and Badenoch a Goner".

Former Bojo Adviser Waxing Lyrical About The Party He Used to Work For.

Miserable As Sin: Dominic Cummings.

Many thought that when Boris Johnson hired Dominic Cummings as his adviser, it was a match made in heaven. Some saw it back to the Alistair Campbell days when Mr. Campbell was Tony Blair's adviser. Campbell was a Svengali figure in Blair's cabinet. Cummings was a Svengali figure and some said the power behind Johnson's throne. Cummings was brought- down by his journey to Durham during COVID and the ensuing lockdown. After Cummings was gone, the writing was on the wall for Johnson and his downfall.

Mr. Cummings has been speaking to Sky News. Like Sir Keir Starmer, Cummings also thinks that, using Sir Keir's words, the Tories are: "a busted flush". Mr. Cummings said, "Everyone assumes the Tories will always be around". But he went on, they may have passed through an "event horizon". The party Mr. Cummings said in reflection, "Might be dead".

As for the leader that followed Wishy-Washy-Rishi, Mr. Cummings didn't prophesy a bright future for her either. He said plots were afoot in the Conservative Party to bring down the Nigerian-UK leader Kemi Badenoch. When Ms. Badenoch became leader, her party remained 3rd in the polls. Labour in 2nd place and Reform UK in first place.

Kemi Badenoch has not connected so far, if ever, with the great British public. The Conservatives were in power for 13 years and delivered nothing. Promised much and delivered nothing but cuts, suffering, lies, sleaze, and corruption. Well, did anyone think the Tories would deliver anything different? Even in the days of Thatcher, and they were pretty horrendous, never did such a terrible government exist. Starting with Cowardly Cameron, Mishap May, Boris the Clown, Liz 'Lettuce' Truss, and Wishy-Washy-Rishi. So, maybe it's too early for Badenoch to make any impact. However, if rumblings against her are already hatching in the darkest, deepest recesses of the Conservative Party, then in Cummings's words, she is already "a goner". Also, in Cummings's words, the plot to oust her will take place this year or if not, the next. Either way, Cummings doesn't think she'll be around long.

While Labour didn't do well in the local, mayoral, and by-election elections, for the Tories, it was a wipe-out. Reform UK soared to power in all those votes. That will not have helped Kemi Badenoch's tenure as Tory leader.

Cummings also mentioned he could see Nigel Farage (NF - how ironic, that a far-right party called the National Front had the same letters when shortened as the Reform Leader. I'll leave you to think about that one!) as being the Prime Minister one day. Yes, as mad and as unlikely as that may be, it could happen. There is plenty of time for Sir Keir to turn this around. He is making strides on immigration in actions and words. The economy appears to be turning around, although the jury is still out on that one for many. And energy prices are coming down.

Sir Keir has recently attacked Nigel Farage, the Reform UK Leader. He is right to train his fire on Farage, rather than Badenoch. Right now and probably up until the next general election, Farage will be Sir Keir's greatest enemy. If any man and party can stop Labour and Sir Keir from having a 2nd term in power, it's Farage and Reform UK. So Sir Keir is wise to use all the power at his disposal as Labour Leader and British Prime Minister to defeat Farage and Reform UK.

Meanwhile, in the interview with Sky News, Mr. Cummings said he was talking to Farage about how he could become Prime Minister.

Does this mean that Nigel Farage is hiring Dominic Cummings in some role? Either now or in the future? One can only speculate, but nothing surprises me any more!

    You make some valid points about the Tories' track record. It's been a rough ride with one leader after another. Do you think the infighting within the party will continue to be a major issue? And how do you think Badenoch can turn things around if there are already plots against her? It's clear the Tories have a lot to answer for. Their failures are hard to ignore. But it'll be interesting to see if any of their new leaders can actually make a positive change.
