The inhabitants of the Westminster bubble (namely the journalists and politicians who feed upon each other) are in a feeding frenzy over what Cummings has hinted he knows, and what he may reveal to Parliament next month.
Thusfar it has been pretty thin gruel a.o.:
- the PM may, or may not, have vociferously resisted a third lockdown (which he ended up imposing)
- the PM may, or may not, have wanted someone else to pay for the redecoration of Number 11 (which he ended up paying for)
- Chatty Rat may or may not be Cummings or Henry Newman
The fact is, no one outside of the Westminster bubble gives a toss about these issues that have been in the public domain for some months now.
As the pandemic restrictions are eased, people will want to put the whole experience behind them (as they did after the 1919 flu pandemic). What will matter to the people who actually do matter (ie the voters) will be
- the state of the economy (exceptional growth now predicted),
- the functioning of the NHS(which has been found wanting),
- education,
- housing and
- law & order.
