Since leaving Downing Street, Dominic Cummings has made explosive claims about Boris Johnson's handling of COVID and railed against government inefficiency. But now it appears he's back and planning to disrupt the Tories as a political force entirely...

He should call it "The Cumminist Party"
The Cummers
god i wish but theyre right wing obviously
Those pesky Cummies...
Make UK Cum Again.
Cuminit😂😂
Should name it the "Trust me bro" party.
Haha. He seems to want to create a techocratcy. 😀
This should be pinned

And I think he's not clever at all!

Cummings, reform. Damaging the Tories. No one has done more damage to the Tories than the Tories.
Yep, scandal after scandal and failed policies. I cant vote for them until they change root and branch

@@chilled99they’re on life support right now, when the election comes around we will all gladly pull the plug.

Repeal the Human Rights Act and appease fascist Russia. Such a forward-looking thinker.
The human rights act didn't do anything to improve human rights in the UK. We were a world leader in human rights before its implementation, and its implementation has only allowed unelected bodies to challenge policies they dislike at the expense of the interests of the British people.

If he wants to destroy the Tory party, his best bet would be to encourage Rishi Sunak to continue doing what he's doing.
The state of the Tory party is not Sunak's fault. He inherited a sinking ship from his predecessors. However, I am quite worried about what will come into its place when the ship has finally sunk. Populism is on the rise throughout the world. I would prefer to compete with the conservatives.
@@allthatchas Sunak didn't cause the tories problems, but he has done absolutely nothing to make them better and has actively antagonized them since taking power.
@@allthatchasPopulism is doing what the masses want. In other words, democracy.
@@ReddwarfIV I think democracy is not just about counting votes, but also about protecting the interests of minorities and sustaining institutions like free press and an independent justice system. These are not things that populists like, which is what worries me.
@@allthatchas mostly people are making arguments from scratch, they are not respecting what we already believe or have as institutions
The first thing his Party will do when they get in power will be to make it legal to test your eyesight by driving.
Now that is a fundamental human right… but only if you are driving to Barnard Castle
repealing the human rights act? this "party" is not going to go anywhere
I wouldn't be so sure. Historically, the Human Rights Act was designed to protect the individual from the state. It has more recently evolved into a mechanism for the state to control and even silence the individual.
Shouldn't trust anyone who says they want to reshape the political system and scrap human rights lol
I think you'll find that's actually quite a popular idea on the Right. And I don't agree with it, but I can see their point.
It's become so vague that it hamstrings our own legal system. So we end up with utter absurdities (like being obliged to give asylum to convicted sex offenders because they spuriously claim to have converted to Christianity).
I mean, that’s what you would’ve thought about the Tories. They promised to do that in order to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda (Hitler had the same plans to deport Jews to the West, then blamed the Holocaust on them not taking any in (despite the USSR and Poland having very large Jewish populations, larger than Germany). Same thing with UK trying to send them to France, who takes in far more migrants than they do, and with them literally using them as an irregular warfare method against Ireland.
Hopefully, they won't. But, as always, reality will find new ways to disappoint...

Pretty sure Sunak is running the tories into the ground already…
Cummings can claim that as his first victory!
@@mr.netflix9149like a good Tory, he'll claim another person's actions as his own victory
Too true he is,, grinding away at it, like as if he is on a mission, he is way ahead of his own party, they just can't catch up with him...he should be hailed as sunak the tory party destroyer hee's really good at it, just hope he keeps up the good work right up to the next General Election...
Not really, Truss and Boris had it in the ground before he took over. He's just failed to resurrect them
The problem with ‘strategists’ are they’re just a bunch of people who can write well, or talk well. Most of them are hopeless at doing things. It is akin to management consultants.
Hey I'm no fan of Cummings.... but if he wants to help destroy the Tory party then I'm for it. We really need to to get that rotten mess of Westminster fixed and the worst party of the lot gone. Do I think Cummings is the man for the job... not a f*cking chance 😂
He's splitting their vote even further (assuming he gets any votes). Sounds like a vanity project.
They're doing a pretty good job themselves but it never hurts to help a good cause!
As a progressive who has had to deal with the frustrating split in in the left leaning vote for years, I'd like to say to the British Right: WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!
This is why two dominant parties isn't that great.
The tories will slowly realise how much an in built advantage they had with the right vote not really being split. Hopefully many years in the wilderness for them.
No , I dont want them in our world, Dont welcome them with open arms :P
@@craigfoulkesIt seems to always be around 15 years. Probably less with Starmer leading the Labour party.
what do you mean by progressive, i hope you mean historical progressive and not, dare i say... a liberal...
So, basically Reform 2 Electric Boogaloo. Wow. That will fix everything surely.
They say politics is showbusiness for ugly people, but we shouldnt be forced to look at Cummings, Johnson, Farage and Carswell all before breakfast.
You forgot Truss and Rees-Mogg

@@jgnclvgmng5408Gullis, honourable mention
The second Cummings .....
😂😂😂
Cummings needs to read Paradise Lost.
Not sure Cummings, his ilk and followers are erudite enough for that
Why
This just seems like one of the many new parties to claim to change. What does he do different to either the Conservatives or Reform?
Basically less culture war. If he was serious about tax reform that would be nice. I don't actually object with many of his broad points. The problem with Cummings is he has no respect for anyone else. Makes him a shit administrator. Burning down the system sounds great until you actually have to work with the people to do the job.
None. He’s doing this out of sheer Spite.
He's against illegal immigration, unlike the Tory Party who are the most pro-immigration party in British history.
He seeks public sector reform/restructure which Tories don't, and he supports mass migration ( I think) which Reform doesn't.
A strange niche really though, maybe popular with some yuppies.

Not sure how you could say its focused on growth when they explicitly say they want to continue our self imposed sanctions on exports to the EU
"Repeal the Human Rights Act" and "Favour Peace" shows how much he's thought this through.
if Cummings is promoting annuling/repealing the Human Rights Act, .. then he also needs to make it very clear to everyone that our natural unalienable sovereign Common Law Constitutional principles, rights & freedoms, .. will be upheld.
@@sovereignjoe5730 thinking about this soon after I posted the comment - I think the juxtaposition here is more telling about *which* humans would get rights under his premiership.
The "Human Rights Act" is a shame.
@@alongsleep it's outrageous this notion that "humans" deserve "rights"
The human rights act is the EU still in our lives and still supporting a globalist agenda.
What if 'the people' really want to rejoin the EU? Will Cummings then turn his back on the majority, in favour of his bias?
No, only the Liberal Democrats promise that 😂😂😂

I don't see why someone wouldn't just vote reform instead
Because there are lots of unbelievably dim people in the world.
it isn't run as a party and Tyce is the only doner and owns it. It is basically a corperation. Also it has some of the vaguest policy. No costings have been done and no planning for any of the ideas it wants. It was only set up to push the Tories to the right more. Also why are all the leaders of these movements "of and for the people" always lead by the richest public schoolboys who have no clue what its like down here for the rest of us. Also I could never vote for anyone who was pro Trump.
No obsession with culture war nonsense is the only thing Cummings party has going for it.
I mean, if you're stupid enough tae vote for a business that only promotes the best interests of rich fucks, then there's no helping you.
Reform? Lol I hope they actually win their deposits back
Count Binface is shaking in his.. well, bin.
What is dead may never die
it could kill the Tories in the sense that it allso pulls from their voter base, similarly to Reform UK, which could cause the Tories to sink even deeper because of the first past the post voting system.
It might end the conservatives that way but it is extremely unlikely to actually gain any seats itself
All of Dominic Cummings policies remind me of reform UK's policies
Yes, great ideas tend to get copied....

1:51 I think you'll find Mr Cummings, that we are in this mess because of you.
How is this stain on humanity still in the news?
Because all 12 intentions are good?
Never forget all politicians are snakes at best!?!
Actually I read his essay on Dostoyevsky and Regime Change, he has good understanding of what's going on. Much better then libtards and liberoNazis who are running "powerhouses" of all Europe.
This thumbnail needs a question mark
Lol
If he effectively scrapped income tax, replacing it with a wealth tax AND taxed moving money offshore AND taxed cheap imports from countries with lower labour & environmental laws than we do (so giving them an unfair advantage) then he'd get a landslide victory.
Isn’t about time the UK’s elections became preferential, like Australia’s - “number the candidates in order of preference” instead of “tick your one & only choice”.
All these people on the far right starting their own parties remind me of the Judean People's Front against the People's Front Of Judea from Monty Python.
😀
Some things haven't changed since....... roman times
Puns intended?
Can someone please explain the conservative argument for repealing the human rights act?
Easier to enforce new, more unfair labour laws on workers, though they're mainly arguing it's stopping them from "quickly dealing with illegal migrants", whatever that vague statement is supposed to mean
- Saving to prison costs by enabling unpaid labour
- Prevention of key industries from unionising such as railway and NHS staff
- Prevention of "disruptive protests"
- Increased security (particularly digital) by removing right to privacy
- Reduction on cost on refugees by removing obligation to house them etc.
I'm sure there are others (I don't agree with these btw so don't come at me 😅)

I don't think he quite realises how universally the nation despises him!
the narrative I gleen from his 12 policies is "Inadvertant Russian Asset"
Not too sure about being inadvertant... Look at his early background in Russia.
3:31 In principle, I’m with him on most, but why on god’s green earth would you want to appeal the human rights act? Is that a joke.
"To be fair, some of them sound like policies" Wow - I'd say that was damning with faint praise, but that's high praise when directed at a Tory adjacent party.
Thank you.
no intervention in Ukraine is what turned me away from the TSP
Yeah, I think there's a strong case that we should get less involved in foreign wars. But I don't necessarily think we should be Switzerland.
@@andybrice2711 indeed, don't need to be involved with everything, but if a major player is involved then we are basically forced to ourselves, or be beaten on the world stage.
Exactly. Let’s just let authoritarian govs invade other countries.
It's his only sane principle.
The plan to stop helping Ukraine is not a plan for peace. It is a plan for a brutal destruction of Ukraine (much more brutal than the curren stalemate) and for encouragin Russia to be more agressive. It is so naive to think: "the moment we stop sending arms to Ukraine, Russians will stop fighting and will go home." I can't really understand how someone can fall for this.
Cummings looks and acts like a Bond villain too slimy to get any attractive henchwomen.
As an American, I really appreciate you Brits making us Yanks look like geniuses.
This sounds very populist. Many of the "broad principles" listed are very vauge and generic. "focus on small businesses", "favour peace", "reform institutions", "focus on how power works", and build a "new coalition of people" are a few examples.
one of these days those pin badges with the countries will return
After every one of his so call "principles" I was asking "Meaning what exactly?'
If you have to ask then this is not a subject for you...stick with cartoons.
The July 4th election called at short notice to thwart the new parties. I fear too late to make an impact
I don't know about the Tories but Cummings certainly killed the English test team
Bro the tories are already killing themselves
They don't need Cummings' help.
@@anonUK The more splitters on the right, the better!
The Tories killed themselves in 2020. Hence why the right are uniting
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
Cummins was the only person capable of taking on the establishment....the media was worried and hounded him out of office....I'd back him , I'm a small business owner...
I am not a British citizen but I am truly amazed at how the Tories could have destroyed this much for themselves and the UK as a whole. I am aware that Brexit is seen as the start of issues for many (although if you ask me, austerity measures ruined it earlier). Is this merely and purely due to incompetence, short-sighted self-enrichment or a general lack of what is going on?
I'm a UK er and if I didn't know better I think the political elite are fooling most of us so they get uber wealthy before the whole thing they've helped collapse crashes down on us, still I have hope😮
Well Brexit has been such a success so far and he makes Tice look charismatic so this will work well.
Isolationised little England, dodgy as hell
Get a new political party in the UK like Nationalist Party.
He busts every time he wins a seat.
The what now
Heartbreaking: Most horrible man you know makes some good points.
Balance is restored when I realise that he's a populist grifter who will say and do anything, and even the decent ideas will be twisted by his insanity and lack of self-awareness.
He needs to help Reform
He doesn’t say anything about stopping “legal” migration which is actually the real problem we face.
Another dangerous right wing party that would be a disaster for ordinary people.
There are no far right parties in the UK of any relevance, there can't be another one when there were none to begin with.
The establishment propaganda worked well on you then...
Cummings :)))))
“Repeal the Human Rights Act”
Yeah sure buddy, voters will love not having human rights
Like Julian Assange is enjoying the current human rights legislation. Works perfectly.
Its a criminals charter, they are the only ones it protects...
Most of these ""principles"" just sound like generic gibberish without purpose.
"We'll have smart people and do the good things to reform what's bad and make things good" sure mate, a really compelling argument.
So Cummings left parliament in November? A symbolic month to leave
is that because he thought that Guy Fawkes had been reincarnated?
well he wasn't an MP, no kind of elected official whatsoever. so he didn't leave parliament
Don't worry, I got the joke
How did you not raise an alarm over "Repeal Human rights"
A lot of Conservatives and right-wing voters have been arguing to repeal it for years.
Usually they either want to replace it with a different one, or they think that other laws should be sufficient.
@@jonathancampbell5231But the parties themselves plan to use it to block unions, destroying workers rights, and more.
Strangely, Britain had human rights before the Human Rights Act. What we want is to get rid of Tony Blair's interpretation of it.
@@ReddwarfIVwhich of these rights do you not like? And what would you add?
The main change is that they want it to not apply to immigrants so they can be deported.
Marvin the Fascist Martian trying to get back into the headlines
Call it the 'Don't Get Mad, Get Dom!' party.
Well considering every good idea the Boris administration had was his
And considering he was the one pushing the whole "levelling up" idea for the north
As someone living outside London I am interested
Yeah but what the hell has leveling up even resulted in? Nothing. It was a meaningless buzzword with no actual policy behind it.
Even back when they announced it they couldn't actually explain what it would involve.
You can’t be this easily manipulated? Since levelling up… nothing has changed. Except we can no longer afford to keep streetlights on during winter and nothing has been built. Talking out his fucking arse
@@tempejkl yeah but that isn't an advisors fault that the government has been using it for bring rats.
"favor peace" and "repeal the humans rights act"
if Cummings is promoting annuling/repealing the Human Rights Act, .. then he also needs to make it very clear to everyone that our natural unalienable sovereign Common Law Constitutional principles, rights & freedoms, .. will be upheld.
@@sovereignjoe5730 You can keep on saying that, but it's never going to happen. They want to eradicate human rights altogether. That's you, your human rights, all of them, gone. No law is going to be any use after that.
😂 So where has the HRA kept peace?
He went a long way towards killing the Tories when he lied in the Rose Garden.
No, not him. He intellectually understands the problem, but he doesn't feel it in his gut. I spend almost all of my work time around huge numbers of people who would crawl over broken glass to vote for a REAL "economically left, socially conservative" party. Some haven't voted for years or decades (except when they came out for "Leave"). Cummins doesn't understand these people AT ALL. But such a party, if it ever replaced LAB or CON... constituencies would need empty swimming pools to hold all the ballot papers on election night.
Join his party or just chat with him and share your experience. He is not political and he constantly changes his mind in the light of new data. What he most wants is to break the cancerous permanent elite stranglehold on power.
As a EU citizen, I find the idea of not having a Breturn referendum until 2040 refreshingly realistic.
Before it can even remotely hope to be welcomed back in the EU, UK needs to clean up the huge governance mess that led to the current state of affairs. This will take decades.
Of course, some of Cummings’s other proposals (such as withdrawing from the Council of Europe) would bar UK from ever applying.
to be honest, the government is probably this kind of mess because the we were in the EU, and the EU softened a lot of the brain dead rat behaviour that did damage to my country.
of course now they can't hide behind the EU technocracy and now they are spotlighted for all to see.
2040 is only 16 years away!
Wtf? Nobody sane here call himself citizen of the EU.

Imagine trying to explain this to the average grunt on the doorstep. It's a non-starter because people want to be given simple information with unreasonable promises; they don't want technocratic details.
Another policy: Parliament will move to Barnard Castle.

He should change his name to Dominic Crummwell; it sounds very much like he's trying to re-institute the position of Lord Protector by telling everyone that only he knows best and they won't miss their weekends off once they've been whipped enough times.
Bad writing from the start: "...the man most of us haven't heard about since leaving 10 Downing St. in 2020."
You mean since *he* left 10 Downing St., but the way it's written, it means that we left 10 Downing St.
Mr. Driving -because -my -eyesight's -dodgy...
They don’t need any help from Cummings. They did it all by themselves.
"Hold my beer Party"
Britain has had a "New Party" before. It turned into the British Union of Fascists. As in, they literally called *themselves* fascists. That was tried again in 2003. Now it's a third time, but they're just using a different name.
Don't be silly. He is probably the only person in the country trusted less than Bojo.
I feel that the vast majority would say, this man would be the least trusting person you could think of, except possibly Starmer.
The really ironic thing is that the Conservative Party is the most successful in history, and they could end to abruptly.
We need Reform!
Nobody will ever have a better K/D against the tories than lizz the lettuce.
