This libertarian in the soul, holds more real power than members of the government.

For the first time, the gauntlet Cummings closes on the empty. In effect, the adviser has been caught in the act of breach of containment in force in the United Kingdom since 23 march.

Reassured, strengthened, and legitimacy through its electoral triumph of December 12, the host 10 Downing Street seems to be conspicuously absent in the test of power. He leaves it to a dozen advisers from the campaign in the european referendum in 2016 with the task of turning the heavy machine of government by short-circuiting the ministers. The mode of operation johnsonien, who had done wonders to the mayor of London between 2008 and 2016, now shows its limits in the face of the sars coronavirus.
