A change at the top “within days” – that was supposedly the plan, says Boris Johnson’s former chief advisor Domminic Cummings. The prime minister should therefore be replaced shortly after his election victory.
Former Boris Johnson’s chief advisor, Dominic Cummings, wanted the British Prime Minister “within days” replace by another politician after his election victory. Cummings said so in a BBC interview excerpted Tuesday.
Accordingly, shortly after Johnson’s overwhelming victory in the general election in December 2019, there were talks between advisors in the government seat of Downing Street about a possible change at the top. How exactly that should have been done, Cummings explained though not.
“He has no plan, he doesn’t know how to be prime minister”
The reason for this was that Johnson’s wife Carrie had him and his colleagues from the pro-Brexit campaign “Vote Leave” wanted to get rid of it, said Cummings further. He said of Johnson: “He has no plan, he doesn’t know how to be prime minister, and we only put him into office to solve a specific problem (bring about Brexit), not because he was the right person to run the country.”
Cummings is considered the strategist behind the victory of the Brexit supporters in the EU referendum in 2016 and that of the Conservatives under Johnson in the 2019 general election. At times, he was considered the second most powerful man in the country.
However, at the end of last year, Johnson and his agent broke up. Cummings had to go – and since then he has repeatedly raised serious allegations against his former boss.
Speaking of Brexit, Cummings said no one could know if it was a good idea to leave the EU. “I think anyone who claims to be certain has a screw loose”said the ex-advisor.
