By
Sunday, 15 November 2020 it was clear, Dominic Cummings and Lee Cain, two of
Prime Minister Johnson’s key advisers were to leave the government (The Guardian, 15
November 2020).
Commentators were quick to paint the Prime Minister as someone who was
asserting his authority and started speculating about potential policy changes.
Looking at the charade from outside the Westminster bubble, however, it becomes
clear that this has little to do with policy, and is more about trying to
steady a ship, which has gone completely out of control.
