  1. This reminds me of those sad villains who need to be acknowledged as such. No self-awareness of the fact that he was an utterly bad judge of character to choose a windbag spiv like Johnson whose shortcomings were so obvious to undermine any hope of political longevity or stability as most time was spent putting out the fires he so casually kept lighting, instead of being focussed even on his and Cummings' supposed shared goals. It was a clown show where Cummings was the straight guy. But unlike Morecambe and Wise, or any other great double acts, there was no shared sense of duty. Just ambition and self-indulgence. And as for his dream of revolutionising government, we'll a broken clock can be right twice a day, but be useless otherwise. Cummings intelligence is like a crevasse - a very deep niche body of knowledge in a very narrow area, that becomes hazardous for others to negotiate because it has no regard for anything but itself. A nerdy teenager without restraints, and a too narrow focus create hubris. He could have done some good if he had aligned himself with good. But he didn't. And surprised pickachu face, he failed. Whether you are an eminence gris puppet master in the shadows or a great man wannabe leader, your your competence is determined by your knowledge of human nature and your judgment about people. Why? No ruler rules alone. To get anything important in life done you have to do it with the help of other people. And you have to pick the right people for the job. Unless you can do that, your hopes and dreams will collapse like a house of cards. Cummings is naive, and not in a good way, because his ambition far outweighs his strategic capacity, and patience to find the right people to work with, so he could build a legacy worth building. Instead, what has he got? More "consulting" for people who want to run countries like businesses, with them as the CEOs. Clueless, inflexible, unempathetic, and unethical people, who best achievement is to underline the risks we run tolerating capitalism, and how important it is for democracy to be strengthened, and government needing stronger guiderails to neuter rich people with too much time on their hands.
