Is it just me, or do others too think that Dominic Cummings bears a strong resemblance to a tadpole?

Actually, that is a digression, because the “Cummings affair” has moved on, it is no longer about Cummings.  The stakes could not be higher.  It is now prime minister v. the country – if Johnson wins, he has carte blanche for anything he cares to do for the next 4.5 years.  If he loses – and I pray to God that he does – he is finished, spent, a busted flush.

It should not have come to this: the very idea of PM v. the nation, far less at a time of crisis.  That it has tells us all what kind of a man Johnson is, as if we needed telling: a chancer, a scoundrel, a braggard inflated with (his own) hot air.
