Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings may no longer be best buddies, but they are two peas in the same rotten pod. A pair of chancers who abused power.
Cummings, the former chief aide to Johnson who broke lockdown rules and would have us believe he drove to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight, has turned on the Prime Minister.
He is right that cynical liar Johnson does fall well below “the standards of competence and integrity the country deserves.”
And he is right that urging others, including Tory donors, to pay for lavish renovations of the No10 flat, is “unethical, foolish, possibly illegal and almost certainly broke rules” on registering political money and transparency.

But Cummings is no hero because he can suddenly see Johnson’s glaring faults.
He and his one-time boss are both a stain on our democracy.
Unfit owners
The arrogance of Manchester United’s owner Avram Glazer is alas only too typical of a billionaire class forever dodging scrutiny and accountability.
The terse “no comment” outside his Palm Beach mansion spoke volumes about an aloofness that screams for Government intervention to boost and entrench genuine fan power.
These faraway, profit-hungry parasites eating the people’s game must be shown red cards before they inflict irreversible harm.
The cowardly club owners refuse to answer pertinent questions, hide behind official statements and expensive PRs.
By doing so they demonstrate yet again they are far from fit and proper to control clubs which must be institutionally rooted in their communities instead of being the cash cows and playthings of a wealthy international elite.
Egg-onomics
We all shout out answers to TV quiz questions and even get some right.
Experts judging University Challenge the hardest and Eggheads the easiest to win can’t be accused of pursuing Pointless research.
