The media are currently wetting themselves over the now formalised year end departure of Dominic Cummings.
Whilst this may be all very entertaining, if you are in the media or Westminster bubble, it rather ignores the elephant in the room.
His year end departure was known about, and reported on, back in May; eg as per The Metro:
"A source, who reportedly knows him well, told the Daily Mail he plans to step back from politics now Brexit has been achieved.
They said: ‘Dominic has not decided what to do. He will stay in his job if it seems worthwhile and [he] can improve things – otherwise he probably won’t.’
The Spectator magazine, where Mr Cummings used to work and where his wife is a commissioning editor, also reported that he could consider himself ‘largely redundant’ by Christmas if he has completed reforms of Whitehall. "
The resignation is merely formalising what was already the plan.
The question is, once he goes who will become the object of the media's frenzied hatred?
