The Papers: Cummings ‘rains fire’ with ‘pure revenge’
The papers react to claims from Boris Johnson’s former top aide about the handling of the pandemic. …
For the Times, Boris Johnson’s former senior aide “rained fire on No 10”, using the session to “savage” his former boss. It says Mr Cummings “eviscerated” Boris Johnson’s character, motives and competence, in an “utterly damning” account. It’s hard, says the paper, to think of any occasion in modern British politics when someone “so close to the centre of power has turned so spectacularly against a serving prime minister”.
