THE Prime Minister clearly owes a debt to Dominic Cummings for masterminding the lies that eventually succeeded in getting him into Number 10. Hence the sacking and insulting police escort from Downing Street of respected advisers to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Beware, Mr Johnson – the leader who surrounds himself with sycophants turns the government into a dictatorship and eventually alienates everyone else.

DOMINIC Cummings has reshuffled the Cabinet, enhancing his power by taking control of Number 11 Downing Street as well as Number 10.

I DID say that within months they would all be at each other’s throat. I gave them three months, they couldn’t even manage that! Now get the popcorn ready for the fall-out ... it’s great for independence as Boris is working flat out for our cause!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
