Intoxicating, insidery and infuriating: everything I learned about Dominic Cummings from his £10-a-month blog
Since he left Downing Street, Boris Johnson’s former adviser has been setting out his worldview – and settling scores – on his Substack. Could it help us understand the most notorious man in British politics?
some poor soul from the Guardian got tasked with reading Cummings' ppl blog so you don't have to

The article itself is as tedious as Cummings ramblings. He must have poisoned the mind of the Guardian hack, hs will never be the same again.

May have been mentioned but just heard someone saying that DC cut his political teeth on the successful No campaign for North East devolution - an interesting parallel with the Brexit vote
quick google throws up this
www.theguardian.com
"In a more recent blog, Cummings reflects on how the strategies he developed for Nesno became the blueprint for the Brexit referendum. “It was a training exercise that turned out surprisingly well. SW1 100% ignored it, thankfully,” he said."
So much for taking back control

Has given an interview today and is setting up another party with the goal to sink the Tories lol!!!
But now there are signs that with the next general election imminent they are being stepped up and that his anti-establishment party – designed to fill a gap left by a defeated and divided Conservative Party – could soon be reality.
The party doesn’t actually exist yet and Cummings has not released any details about important factors such as its funding, membership and governance.
But there were reports on Thursday that he has been using a series of focus groups across the country to get the public’s views about the potential for the party. And he has used his interview with i to explain his thinking about why the venture would succeed.
He says it would be:
In August Cummings wrote in his Substack blog that he wants a party focused on reducing immigration, closing tax loopholes for “the 1 per cent,” investing in public services and reforming the Civil Service.
He wrote that it would be needed “immediately after the exit polls are live on election night 2024” to “divert energy and money away from ‘how to revive the Tories’ to ‘how to replace the Tories’.”
...might never happen tbf (v likely)
What is the Start Up Party?
Dominic Cummings’ plans for his new Start Up Party have been long in gestation – he has written about the idea several times since he left government in 2020.But now there are signs that with the next general election imminent they are being stepped up and that his anti-establishment party – designed to fill a gap left by a defeated and divided Conservative Party – could soon be reality.

He says it would be:
- “completely different from the other parties”
- “ruthlessly focused on the voters not on Westminster and the old media”
- “friendly towards all the amazing talent in the country, people who build things in private and public sector”

He'll hate the voters; he'll think they're all thick.

Cummings greatest skill is this: being “ruthlessly focused on the voters not on Westminster and the old media” - proven with at least three bigs wins, the NE devolution campaign and of course Brexit and Boris Johnson election win 2019. The track record is strong.
It is a lesson parties of the left (if there were any) should also learn from (I'm a populist at heart). Starmer has gone the other way, full on tilt into establishment view and media. That clearly can work to some extent against a pisspoor opponent (the Tories right now), but it doesnt acutally bring voters into supporting you.
I for one welcome Dominic Cummings new party edgelords
A sort of mixture of nationalism and socialism. Just needs a catchy name.

There's pretty much zero chance of this Cummings pipe dream coming to pass. If he did convince one of the 1% to fund his vanity project, we can see the sort of 'politics' it would pursue:Cummings greatest skill is this: being “ruthlessly focused on the voters not on Westminster and the old media” - proven with at least three bigs wins, the NE devolution campaign and of course Brexit and Boris Johnson election win 2019.
