IS THIS THE FIRST OF ‘WEIRDOS’ ENFORCER WANTED TO HIRE?

-

DOWNING Street is braced for a row over a controvers­ial adviser brought in by Boris Johnson’s right-hand man Dominic Cummings.

Andrew Sabisky, 27, wrote on Mr Cummings’ website in 2014: ‘One way to get around the problems of unplanned pregnancie­s creating a permanent underclass would be to legally enforce universal uptake of long-term contracept­ion at the onset of puberty. Vaccinatio­n laws give it a precedent, I would argue.’

A self-described ‘super forecaster’, Mr Sabisky, pictured right, has been brought in to No 10 as a contractor following an appeal for ‘assorted weirdos’ to work for the Government. On another blog post discussing female genital mutilation, he claimed: ‘It is still unclear to what extent FGM represents a serious risk to young girls, raised in the UK, of certain minority group origins. Much of the hue and cry looks more like a moral panic.’

His comments were made in response to the Home Affairs Select Committee calling the issue a ‘national scandal’.

Since his appointmen­t,

Mr Sabisky has deleted several tweets, including one dismissing female Labour politician­s Yvette Cooper, Angela Rayner and Rebecca Long Bailey as ‘dim’.

In another tweet, Mr Sabisky said: ‘I am always straight up in saying that women’s sport is more comparable to the Paralympic­s than it is to men’s.’
