Boris Johnson knows he is a 'ludicrous' Prime Minister, Dominic Cummings claimed today as he fired yet another bruising broadside at Downing Street.
Mr Johnson's former top aid said he believed Boris Johnson was 'unfit' to occupy No10 when he went to work for him in 2019, but wanted to ensure Jeremy Corbyn's Labour did not win that year's election.
In his latest outpouring on the self-publishing website Substack he defended his decision to work for Mr Johnson, despite believing he was not up to running the country.
He also lashed out at the Prime Minister's now wife, Carrie Johnson, saying that in 2019 he regarded her as a 'wildcard' in a 'weird' relationship with the Tory leader.
The pair appear to have been on he same team at the time, before they catastrophically fell out last year, prompting Mr Cummings' defenestration from No10 late last year.
Mr Cummings wrote today that Mr Johnson called him into a room the day after the 2016 Brexit referendum and said 'with a laugh ''Obviously it's ludicrous me being PM — but no more ludicrous than Dave (Cameron) or George (Osborne), don't you think?''
The former aide raised the prospect of trying to overthrow the PM if he won the 2019 election and then tried to get rid of him and his associates.
