The "brain behind Brexit" fears that it's already turning into a disaster
“Theresa May and David Davis have provided a case study of grotesque uselessness” in their approach to Brexit. This comment was not made to Prospect by one of the usual “Remainer” suspects, but by Dominic Cummings, the Vote Leave mastermind.
Negotiations with the EU are in a dire state. Britain faces its
biggest constitutional challenge ever—and is on the verge of cocking it
up. Cummings, the official “Leave” campaign’s former director and
long-term aide to Michael Gove, is extremely clever—but comes with a
reputation for being a little too-clever-by-half.
He has written online treatises, running to many thousands of words,
on the careful calculations that inclined him to think that—on
balance—Britain was better off taking the punt on Leave, and the
thinking behind his ruthlessly effective campaign. He has been withering
about David Cameron, ridiculing him as “the guy in No 10 watching
Netflix with a glass of red in his paw,” and is no politer about May
today. “It was crazy” of her “to trigger Article 50 without preparations
first and even more crazy to sit around and still not prepare,” he
said. “If there’s no deal, there will be significant problems that were
completely avoidable.”..
