Southport journalist Martin Hovden writes: Former Downing Street aide Dominic Cummings gave a bombshell interview to BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg last night.
Mr. Cummings, who was one of the PM's closest advisors, said Johnson was not the right person to run the country.
He claimed Johnson – who is enthusiastically supported by Southport Tory MP Damien Moore - was initially reluctant to impose a COVID lockdown as he said the only people dying from the virus were the over 80s.
He also revealed Johnson regarded the right-wing Daily Telegraph as his real boss.
He said he had to persuade Johnson not to meet the Queen for their weekly meetings at Buckingham Palace as he may infect the monarch with the virus, adding that the PM was too influenced by his wife Carrie - and he eventually lost his influence over the PM because of her.
He revealed there were plans to replace Johnson within weeks of him being elected as he was not fit for office.
The sooner Johnson goes the better, said Cummings.
He said he was speaking out not because of revenge, but because he didn’t want the same mistakes to be made again.

Winge?
Look at what Roger's done here - he's basically cut and pasted the thoughts of another journalist (Martin Hovden) on Boris Johnson, and passed it off as a 'news' story of his own on here. Does Martin know he's done this? Has he paid Martin royalties for using his content?
To suggest it's of interest to anyone in Ormskirk just because of a passing reference to Damien Moore is a farce.
