Looks like Rishi had 2 sets of talks with Dominic Cummings, but bottled out of bringing him on board... archive.is/gctY5 |

Sounds like Rishi has lost the last chance he had of winning the next election...
"Cummings told Sunak to ditch his cautious approach to the economy and hold an emergency budget, reversing Johnson’s tax rises (which breached a 2019 manifesto pledge), and to almost double the threshold at which people pay the 40p rate of income tax from £50,271 to £100,000.
Both times Cummings told Sunak to settle the NHS strikes and make rebuilding the health service one of his core priorities"

When it comes to solutions though, one may ask how the hell you settle NHS strikes whilst cutting off a large chunk of your supply of tax pounds. Sure it may well be popular with the voters, or at least the high tax-paying ones, but you know what happened to Truss' loony economics. Cummings seems sort of half Farage in many ways. He's not an expert in everything and is one of these people who has not really had a proper formal education to a high level of study. I think Cummings is very intelligent, but then so was Jim Morrison (IQ- 149), but you would not get Jim Morrison in as an advisor, even if you did not have to raise him from the dead. |

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67851985The Bbc ran with this today. Frankly, i want to know how much Starmer has bribed Cummings to reveal this. Like all allegedly super high IQ individuals (and i had the pleasure of having half a dozen stay at the farmhouse B&B i was at for a month, and worked with one for two years, they are all barking bloody mad nutters with no sense of manners etiquette or common sense. I speak as a bloke with an IQ of 142 whose dad was higher and whose grandad was in the 150’s … Sunak must be utterly tamping that the world now knows he’s in such a shit state he’s had to pay this fucker. Even better IMO if it’s all bollox and he’s done no such thing. As i categorically stated at the time, and have several times since, whatever use Cummings was to Boris, and i have no doubt he was, the man became utter poison the moment he called a press conference to say his illegal actions during the pandemic were of no consequence as he was too important to lose his job. Which is, basically, exactly what he was saying when he called it. He knew and so did the police, that action should have been taken, but none was taken. As you all know, Boris called a press conference soon after. Had he stood there and said ‘actually, my unelected paid adviser is regrettably mistaken in his analysis and although i have the highest regard for his past work he has now become a distraction and must spend some time with his family to reconsider his position, to which end i have here (wave paperwork for camera) his P45…. then the Sun headline next morning would have said ‘Cummings Is Goings’ and maybe a picture of a grinning Savid Javid but that would have been that. I don’t recall details of who or what - which is kind of the point - but around the time of Cumming’s eye test an SNP aide in the Scottish Parliament, a Conservative junior minister and a Labour jerk all did something stupid breaking pandemic rules / laws, all stood up and called themselves a distraction and walked away. And i bet they’re all back now. Because at the time they gave the public what was wanted. The sight of some punishment for breaking rules they themselves imposed. Cummings of course declared himself too important to suffer that and Boris then held the office of Prime Minister in contempt by not sacking him. The police admitted they should have fined him but now would not, bringing themselves into even further disrepute if that were possible. Cummings is the embodiment of ricin coated black widow spider venom with a side helping of Novichok agent and his association with Sunak will have the effect on Tory fortunes a mark 8 Torpedo allegedly fired by Conqueror (but actually …) had on the General Belgrano

How can a conversation on the Tory leader having meetings with a disgraced Tory balloon be turned into an 'attack' on Labour. 🤣

I do, but it doesn't deflect from the fact that new labour is just as slippery. I don't believe for a minute you don't know that. I get the point also those slippery Tories would like to deflect everything on the other side of the fence, it goes both ways. |

The thing is our country, the US plus Europe in general and India are all bent. If your system is untrue, like a buckled wheel, then all manner of problems are caused and nothing works properly. Cummings likes to get ideas from the US military Industrial complex, which is a protectionist economic system that is half hidden via national security for a start, so I don't even think he understands it, rather he is a good parrot for the US spin on things.
If we want a good example to follow I think Shenzhen is the place which has got is right. It works on meritocracy for a start, and it is a rather informal system. We like to categorise everything and have these millions of certificates that are supposed to means something is safe and so on. Shenzhen kind of works how intelligent and sensible engineers work together. They solve problems rather than create them, so lawyers are often not needed because everyone does what they say and strives to do a good job. I've been a regular customer for years buying stuff from Shenzhen firms and I really enjoy the experience. They have always got something new on sale. It is constant progress and improvement. Things you used to buy get cheaper and better over time.
If you ever wonder why our firms don't get the orders they once did, well its cos of people like Branson, blowing their satellites up when they said they would launch them. I saw a prototype test of a Chinese reusable rocket the other day. They are trying to a build cheaper version of SapceX rockets. The place where they were going to land it was right next to the hut where presumably they have all their equipment for monitoring it. That is how confident they were that it would not blow up upon landing like the SpaceX prototypes did. In the end it did a perfect landing. We could never trust Brit engineers like that.
