LONDON - Boris Johnson has lost no time in making his mark as British prime minister. In two weeks, he has toured the country telling Britons a spending squeeze will end and they will leave the European Union on Oct. 31 no matter what.
The two sources, one supporter and one critic, say the threat of a no-deal Brexit is a plan by Cummings designed to force the EU to compromise on the departure deal agreed by Johnson’s predecessor Theresa May, and to pin the blame on the bloc if no new agreement can be reached. The 47-year-old strategist, who did not respond to a request for comment for this article, has dismissed assertions by critics that he puts ideology before the interests of the economy or population.
His driving philosophy - according to the articles on his blog - seems to be that much of Britain’s system of government has been taken over by “groupthink”, unable and ill-equipped to deal with the problems of modern-day statehood.On Monday, less than two weeks after Johnson took over from May, Johnson announced a cash injection of 1.8 billion pounds into the struggling public health system, which regularly ranks among the top concerns for voters.
It outflanked critics who questioned where the money will come from, particularly if Britain leaves the EU - its biggest trading partner - without a deal to smooth over the disruption that would cause. Cummings has dismissed such characterizations. “Some people now claim this was cynical and we never intended to spend more on the NHS. Wrong,” he said in another blog in early 2017.
A close colleague at Vote Leave and Cummings supporter said the now senior adviser to Johnson uses “Soviet propaganda techniques” in pursuit of his goals. The whole team at Britain’s Vote Leave campaign headquarters numbered around 40 to 50 people, while Cummings’ core team amounted to 10 to 15 people, his former campaign colleague said.
