Boris Johnson’s former right hand Dominic Cummings is allegedly carrying a stockpile of the Prime Minister’s Covid failings that could come across as a devastating blow to Johnson.
This information has surfaced following a spat between the PM and his former right-hand man who was loaded with “confidential information” before he marched out for good from Downing Street last year.
What’s being touted as a 'treasure trove', is a carefully curated collection of secret documents owned by Cummings that apparently have enough proof of secret information accusing Boris Johnson of personally being to blame for the UK's devastating coronavirus death toll.
Mr Cummings is reportedly going to present these confidential failings of the PM before the joint committee of MPs investigating the Government's handling of the coronavirus crisis next month, which include “embarrassing documents, memos and notes to hand”.
In a 1,000 word blog post to condemn the PM’s conduct, Cummings revealed that Boris Johnson tried to stop a leak inquiry that implicated a friend of Carrie Symonds, his fiancée.
Cummings also asserted that the PM had attempted to get Tory donors to secretly fund £58,000 worth of renovations to his Downing Street flat. He said he warned the prime minister that the plan would be “unethical, foolish and possibly illegal”.
Cummings said that he has WhatsApp messages, email documents to support his claims.
He said, “It is sad to see the PM and his office fall so far below the standards of competence and integrity this country deserves.”
A No 10 source claimed: “Dominic is engaged in systematic leaking. We are disappointed about that. We are concerned about messages from private WhatsApp groups which had very limited circulation. The prime minister is saddened about what Dom is doing. It’s undermining the government and the party. It might be that Dominic feels bitter about what’s happened since he left — but it’s a great shame.”
Dominic apparently drove 300 miles while his wife had coronavirus symptoms, following which he had an hour long press conference at the Downing Street garden, claiming that he wanted to test his eyesight in his trip to Barnard Castle from his family farm, while he was supposed to be in isolation.
Meanwhile, Cummings’ allies have denied his involvement behind the leaks. The leaked messages include an exchange between Johnson and the crowned Prince of Saudi Arabia who apparently lobbied Johnson to intervene and support a Saudi at -

One cannot forget that Mr Cummings and Johnson were close allies on the Vote Leave campaign and that he played a key role in the Tory election victory in 2019.
