Dominic Cummings says Boris Johnson is obsessive about monuments in his reminiscence “just like the Roman emperors” – as he describes how it’s his “obligation” to eliminate him.
In his newest assault on the prime minister, the previous chief aide mentioned he solely received enthusiastic about “Large Ben’s bongs” and “ maps” to seek out locations to construct issues in his honour.
Mr Cummings known as his marketing campaign to topple Mr Johnson “an disagreeable however essential job” like “fixing the drains”, calling him “a whole ****wit”.
The pair’s bitter fallout has seen the exiled aide first reveal the lockdown-busting No 10 backyard get together, in Could 2020, that has plunged the prime minister into his greatest disaster.
Chatting with New York journal, Mr Cummings described his former boss’s give attention to the following day’s papers, saying: “In January 2020, I used to be sitting in No 10 with Boris and the entire ****wit is simply babbling on about: ‘Will Large Ben bong for Brexit on 31 January?’”
One other time, he alleged, Mr Johnson instructed him: “I’m the ****ing king round right here and I’m going to do what I need.’
“That’s not OK. He’s not the king. He can’t do what he needs,” Mr Cummings mentioned, including: “When you realise somebody is working like that, then your obligation is to eliminate them, to not simply prop them up.”
The prime minister muses on “what would a Roman emperor do?” with the facility he had, he instructed the journal.
“So, the one factor he was actually excited about – genuinely enthusiastic about – was, like, maps. The place might he order the constructing of issues?” Mr Cummings mentioned.
He fantasised about “monuments to him in an Augustine style, ‘I’ll present the cash. I shall be a river to my folks. I’ll present the cash that builds the prepare station in Birmingham.’ Or no matter.
“And it’ll have statues to me, and folks will bear in mind me after I’m lifeless like they did the Roman emperors.’”
The warning comes amid fears – even amongst senior Conservative MPs – of a Partygate “cover-up”, amid a rising perception that essential elements of Sue Grey’s inquiry won’t ever be revealed.
A heavily-redacted draft of the civil servant’s report shall be launched, in all probability on Monday, however with references to events that the police are investigating stripped out after the police demanded it.
By the point the Met investigation is over, the Grey report shall be “outdated”, as one authorities insider put it – and will probably be in Mr Johnson’s energy to resolve to not maintain an extra investigation.
Tory MPs who’re wavering over whether or not to submit calls for for a no-confidence vote in his management, whereas they “waited for Sue Grey”, are more likely to proceed to sit down on their fingers.
