I have said that I do not think Johnson will make it through this parliamentary term.
I suspect that this is his email to Cummings this morning:
Dear Dom
Thought I should mention a few things.
First, hope your Ma and Pa are ok. Send regards. I might need a bolt hole, soon.
Second, about your recent sick leave. Really? So ill you could drive to Durham? And then be spotted? What have I told you about getting out of wardrobes early?
Third, about policy. Do we have any? Getting a bit worried about that. Can't hide from the press forever.
Fourth, no Mary doing some ‘thoughts for the day' on Radio 4 does not qualify her to be a godparent to the new one.
Fifth, when is this all over? You don't tell me it would be this shit. Why not?
Sixth, shall we quit? I've had enough.
Seventh, don't think you can go without me.
Eighth, my memoirs will sell more than yours so don't even think about telling all.
Ninth, if I go don't even think about trying to hang on here.
Tenth, just get out now. And close the door after me. We don't want the rest joining us. They can carry the can.
Yours
Your ever dependent
BoJo
But he, notoriously, writes two drafts.

Dom C will be heading up loads of his pet projects to reform the civil service, sneaky privatise health, AI with everything, etc etc. So Bojo won’t, nay can’t sack Dom without dropping his heritage projects and looking a total idiot to those who surround him (who likely have penned many memos and emails to cover themselves for the upcoming blame game and potential enquiries).
As you climb the greasy pole of office the high and lows become more extreme – Dom and Bojo never signed up for this project.
I suspect Johnson will go into further hiding, and have no use for “AI” Dom. The Tory grandees are already afoot to spring the “arse in a blond wig” from his misery.
I stroingly suspect that a) the memos to cove arses are being written – the runour of tat is widely known and b) the exit is being planned
It could be in June – deopedning on whether they want to allow him to take the blame for Brexit or not
The sooner Dom is removed, permanently from any source of power the better. He is an alarming eugenicist, and the future he is devising for the UK is horrific.

Dear Dom, You’ll have noticed I didn’t actually sign my previous missive. What larks, Dom, what larks.
Dear Dom-a-Lot
Don’t worry about the press our hardcore supporters were always into authoritarian domination just like yourself. This will blow over anyway because we both know sufficient number of voters have a ring through their noses coupled with short memories, centuries of manipulation by “our team” have seen to this.
Best. Waffle-a-Lot.
There has to be a worry that the neighbour who grassed on him will be socially excluded from the neighbourhood. I would if he was my neighbour. Whoever it was has reported a sick man and his wife to the police after seeing them on their own property and resulted in a police visit exposing members of public services to risk that they didn’t need.
That aside, was Cummings doing anything that was more dangerous than a trip to Tesco?
Yes, he a) broke the law and b) exposed his parents to considerable risk and c) showed contempt for the rules the government he was serving had introduced
If you think that inconsequential, why?
The debacle as seen through the prism of the ‘Farmer’s trilemma’…

Surely you can’t be suggesting that the seldom-seen Boris becomes a non-Dom?
🙂
Loved it!
What mechanism is there for Bojo going? How would his successor be selected? How long would it take? Would we be in even more serious un-led limbo for weeks on end? Can a replacement PM be installed without a General or Conservative Party election process?
It is not just Johnson, it is the whole cabinet too.
Thatcher was persuaded to resign
I think Johnson will be
He will not be able to face the job
He will say Covid left him without the energy to manage – and plead sympathy
