When Boris Johnson was interviewed by The Spectator ahead of becoming Prime Minister, he said that on Brexit, his ‘determination burns with a magnesium brightness to get it done and to deliver’. Less than a week into his premiership and that commitment is echoed by senior No. 10 staff – many of whom come from Vote Leave.
With speculation mounting that an early election is now inevitable as Brussels refuse to take Johnson’s Brexit demands seriously, special advisers and government officials gathered on Friday evening to hear from Johnson’s senior adviser Dominic Cummings – referred to by No. 10 staff as the CEO. I understand the Friday 6pm meeting is likely to become a weekly feature (with alcoholic beverages provided for after).
Cummings’ message was clear: this is a government dedicated to delivering Brexit by October 31st.
