Cummings and McBride

Back to normal after that little advertisement. Yesterday I expressed my fears over Boris Johnson seeming to take a GE off the table. However, I later read some tweets by Damian McBride (former special adviser to Gordon Brown) where he points out that Dominic Cummings (big brain special adviser to Boris) is a devotee of the military strategist Colonel John Boyd. Apparently his "central thesis was to confuse your enemy and do the opposite of what they expect".

(the McBride tweet)

So perhaps a general election is on the cards after all. Maybe we're seeing a complex master-strategy unfold. Everyone will be on their toes now.
