Fascinating stuff about Cummings the heroic reformer. One of the comments to the jackofkent pages leads to:
See also Richard Holbrooke’s 1975 article on the role of academic advisers in the Vietnam war, The Smartest Man in the Room:
https://harpers.org/archive/1975/06/the-smartest-man-in-the-room/I had already been thinking of Cummings in relation to David Halberstam's The Best and the Brightest path to disaster. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/414062.The_Best_and_the_Brightest
Do we need a separate discussion thread on What is Dominic Cummings?

Hum so Cummings wants to reform the UK perhaps more than leave the EU?
He'll still throw us all under a bus for that, but perhaps he can be placated with reforms coming from remain politicians.
Though what exactly does he want...getting rid of Whitehall power, ok more people can get behind that. But he doesn't seem so interested in electoral reform etc..
