A little vulgar Boris Johnson. The British Prime Minister has been accused by his ex-adviser Dominic Cummings, screenshot in support, of having called his Minister of Health “fucking suck” in his handling of the pandemic. This is not the first time that the influential mastermind of the Brexit campaign in 2016 has come under the burden of his former boss. During a marathon parliamentary hearing at the end of May, Dominic Cummings had already attacked Boris Johnson on his management of the Covid-19 crisis.
He had particularly judged “unfit” but had especially violently targeted the Minister of Health Matt Hancock, accusing him of having “lied” on several occasions and judging that he should have been “fired”. The latter denied and since then Dominic Cummings has been criticized for not providing any evidence for his claims.
A message of March 27, 2020
In a long blog post on Wednesday, the ex-advisor posted a screenshot of an exchange on WhatsApp messaging on March 27, 2020 with “Johnson Boris”. Dominic Cummings blames “MH” for the delays in the rise of screening and his contact answers “completely fucking zero”.
Asked about these accusations, a spokesman for Boris Johnson refused to react “to every allegation” and repeated that he kept all his confidence in Matt Hancock: “The Prime Minister has worked very closely with the Minister of Health and will continue to do “.
Merciless Dominic Cummings
Six months after his departure against a backdrop of internal struggles, Dominic Cummings, architect of Boris Johnson’s brilliant victory in the legislative elections of December 2019, is ruthless towards the Prime Minister.
He estimates that the government’s mismanagement has cost “tens of thousands” of lives in the United Kingdom, the most bereaved country in Europe by the pandemic with nearly 128,000 dead.
