In a special BBC Two programme last evening Laura Kuenssberg interviewed Dominic Cummings.
He began by denying his current anti-Johnson campaign is revenge. And he said it didn’t matter if it was personal and went on to say that the country needs more difficult conversation.
Cummings said that Boris Johnson referred to his real boss as The Telegraph.
In many ways the hour-long interview may well have been the rantings of a mad man. On the other hand it may have been prophetic words spoken by a genius.
He was not afraid to say that the leadership of the Tory Party is useless and spoke about the political system allowing one bunch of clowns replacing another.
He openly and emphatically said that the sooner Boris Johnson goes the better.
Cummings passionately believes that Brexit is good for the UK but at one stage in the interview, he lumped some of the crazy MPs who were denying the dangers of Covid with Brexit MPs.
That sounded contradictory and indeed odd.
While one may profoundly disagree with him politically, he would have a lot to say around a table of Dominicans discussing where they are at, indeed, he’d make great sense talking at any gathering of church people wondering what next.
His comment about "the political system allowing one bunch of clowns replacing another” surely applies across all society, within the churches too.
It was captivating television.
Those lines from John Dryden: “ Great wits are to madness near allied/And thin partitions doe their bounds divide."
