Cummings calls PM 'sociopathic narcissist' as fines 'given to leaving do attendees'

Dominic Cummings has branded Boris Johnson a “sociopathic narcissist” after accusing him of encouraging attacks on junior civil servants over the Partygate scandal to protect himself and his wife, Carrie.

In his latest blog post, the prime minister’s former senior aide claims senior officials had “turned a blind eye” to Mr Johnson’s behaviour.

His latest claims come after fixed penalty notices were issued to staff who broke lockdown rules.

Takes one to know one - and when he was inside the tent pissing out - he would have led the attacks on others. Doesn't mean he is not wrong though. Of course we are led by someone who happily throw junior officials under the bus to save their own arses. Sociopathic narcissist squatting in the No 10 flat indeed.

failings of his former boss. snark off

For a long time I've wondered just what's in it for him due to his present vitriol for all things Johnson. Could it be that Dominic has seen The Light and wants to protect us all? Could it be that he's feeling the effects of sour grapes and wants to make sure his name
continues to appear in print and conversations? Could it be that he misses being at The Center Of Power and wishes to somehow return to that position?

I don't know but I'm happy to focus on dealing with the Fascists here in the U.S. while
encouraging my very real English Cousins to deal effectively with their own. It would
please me greatly to see The Brexit Brigade removed from power and that particular
policy rescinded. (among others) Starmer, if you're listening...

It's going to be a difficult fight for all of us and I do appreciate this opportunity to write
about things I've wondered about for some time now. Meanwhile I did vote to elect
"Nato Joe" Biden as U.S. President. If we all work together we can accomplish great
things but I'm still not sure who Dominic is working for.

As to whom Cummings is working for: the same narcissistic character that he's always worked for - himself.

Johnson bruised his ego by sacking him; and Cummings with a bruised ego is worse than the proverbial giraffe with a sore throat, or centipede with corns.
