Boris dances to Cummings’ tune

■ WHO exactly is the Prime Minister – Boris Johnson or Dominic Cummings? I have never nor will I ever support the Tories but I applaud Sajid Javid for standing up for his staff and against bullying. Are we now going to have a Prime Minister with a cabinet of sycophantic “yes” people controlled by Dominic Cummings?

I hope for the sake of the working people of the UK that there are Tory MPs with the nerve and backbone to vote with the opposition when the Government starts to cut workers’ rights and lower standards to suit the USA.

I hope the people who voted Tory for Brexit can now see what they’ve unleashed.

■ Don’t say I told you so. If you’re beginning to think that Boris Johnson is a cheater and a liar, I could have told you that at the very beginning.

It was stupid to be sucked in by Johnson’s lies and this reshuffle just shows he will do anything to stop anyone who doesn’t agree with him or stands in his way. So now he can get on with building a railway and a bridge. Don’t worry, only five more years of the liar.

■ I think there will be a lot of people wishing they hadn’t voted for the Tories back in December. They will not do half the things they say they will and their leader is a liar and a cheat with no principles. And he’s in league with someone just as bad in Dominic Cummings. Who is this man that has so much say in the way our country is run? Mr Cummings is clearly the one pulling the strings. I always thought Boris was a muppet but now it’s obvious he is just a puppet.

■ Who is really running this country – the prolific liar of a Prime Minister, or his ultra rightwing unelected guru adviser Dominic Cummings? Either way it looks like another five years of hell for the poorest.

■ Barely two months into his post-election government – a considerable portion of which has been spent enjoying a £15,000 holiday in Mustique – Boris Johnson has emerged from his fridge to carry out a cabinet re-shuffle.

He has dispensed with the services of political lightweights like Andrea Leadsom and Esther McVey, and has appointed Suella Braverman as the new Attorney General, possibly on the basis that she has previously declared that the UK is “obsessed with human rights”. And Rishi Sunak has replaced Javid as the new Chancellor.

Sunak was one of the strongest voices supporting the deportation of the Jamaica 50.

Sunak has only six months’ experience of working in the Treasury and has to produce a budget in less than a month’s time. What could possibly go wrong?

■ The list of similarities between Boris Johnson and Donald Trump grows daily.

Johnson’s reshuffle is his second in three months. First he rejigged Theresa May’s cabinet in December and now he has done it again. Trump started like this and has continued ever since. In fact, he seems to have a weekly schedule of who to fire.

Sajid Javid resigned because Johnson and his team wanted to control all of the finances themselves and not sub-let control to the Chancellor.

It is hard to tell whether Johnson is the puppet being manipulated by his adviser Dominic Cummings, or he may be just imitating the Trump method of maintaining control.

It will soon become clear if Johnson sacks Cummings, like Trump sacked Steve Bannon. Terry Marriott, Waterlooville, Hants
