Wednesday 6 July 2022 01:18 PM Dominic Cummings cheers from the sidelines as his old boss Boris Johnson fights ... trends now
Dominic Cummings today revelled in Boris Johnson's woes as he compared it to 'the last days of Rome' and said the PM is 'finished'.
The Prime Minister's former chief advisor has again urged Tory MPs to 'push what is falling' as Mr Johnson was battered at PMQs and an eviscerating resignation speech by Sajid Javid afterwards.
Mr Cummings, who refers to his former boss as 'The Trolley' in tweets because he claims he is always crashing, also urged ministers who have remained in post to 'find a flicker of moral courage'.
In a thinly-veiled attack on Mr Johnson, and a heavy hint that he believes his days as PM are numbered, this morning he retweeted a message from one follower who said he was doing 'some light reading about the fall of Rome this AM'.
Sharing his own tweet from February, Mr Cummings said: 'Pretty soon there will be a mad scramble & ministers will be kicking themselves hitting their heads saying "WHY didnt i move faster arghhh". Now's your moment'.
Last month he launched a fresh assault on Boris Johnson as he claimed his former boss is 'completely shot' and slammed the 'rotten' Tory MPs supporting him.
