It's very worrying and the plan for the justice system is alarming. Surely even the party faithful are beginning to be alarmed?

*First they came for those with minds of their own; but I have no mind of my own, so I said nothing.
Then they came for those with human empathy; but I have no human empathy, so I said nothing.
Then they came for the competent; but I am not competent, so I said nothing.
Then they came for me - and now I'm a goverment minister*

Crace is so irreverent, in this case he is close to the truth, Cummings has got a puppet, willing to sign off his budget

Brilliant if it wasn’t so true which makes it scary.

John Crace is such a great read!
My son in law had his most recent book for Christmas and I'm still in a queue to read it...
Thanks M0nica

I read that article, excellent, although the subject is worrying. Dominic Cummings has an extraordinary amount of power for an unelected public servant. He probably wouldn't like the latter term but sees himself as something grander!

I wish Spitting Image would make a return - there's a ready made (or "oven ready" as the great leader would say) script in that article.
