Cummings frequently called for the sacking of Matt Hancock and other cabinet ministers
In May 2020, he warned Johnson about the health secretary: “Hancock is unfit for this job. The incompetence, the constant lies, the obsession with media bullshit over doing his job. Still no fucking serious testing in care homes his uselessness is still killing God knows how many.” By August 2020 Cummings told Johnson he was creating the perception that he was “happy to have useless fuckpigs in charge”. He claimed Hancock was a “proven liar”.
None of these are shocking or revelations. Anyone with half a fucking brain, paying even a little attention would have a good sense these things had occurred during lockdown. It was a shower of shit from a government who would have struggled to make good on the most peaceful and prosperous of times, let alone a global catastrophe.
