Dominic Cummings issues a commentary on current and recent politics, and doesn't hold back (or does he?).
He has some interesting propositions for you if you have the odd few grand laying around with nothing better to do, some of which may well turn out to be worthwhile (though I would want a bit more detail if I were to get involved ... ).
Whilst he fires plenty of arrows at the Covid scenario it is noteworthy that he never mentions the "v" word or the WHO or the global and completely novel nature of the Covid response - so nul points for totally missing the point. Maybe he was too close to the Covid action to notice the elephants in the Covid countermeasures corner? Or perhaps he just doesn't think bigly enough to escape the political assumptions upon which the system is built?
He does recognise that it's the political system that's broken, but sadly he doesn't draw the dots together to establish why and how it's broken, so his prescribed solutions don't add up to anything that seems likely to be adequate. He still has at least one foot in the very system that he says doesn't work.
The effect is that, intentionally or not, this looks to me very like a "limited hangout".
