Tolga Akmen/AFP via Getty ImagesBoris Johnson frequently admits that he is not fit to be the U.K.'s prime minister as his former chief aide Dominic Cummings stated.Cummings, who was the most senior Downing Street adviser until he resigned in November 2020, said that his former boss had first admitted it would be absurd for him to become prime minster in 2016, after they helped deliver the Leave vote in the Brexit referendum.Johnson has admitted to being a prime minister since he entered Downing Street three-years later. According to Cummings who used his Substack newsletter as well as a session of the parliamentary committee to attack his former bosses in recent months,Cummings posted comments on a blog regarding why he supported Johnson in 2019 when he entered Downing Street. Cummings was a former No. The former top No. 10 aide claimed he knew Johnson was not fit to lead the U.K. and that Johnson lies so often, so naturally, and so frequently, while not being interested in policy.Cummings claimed he signed a 2019 agreement to work for Johnson to stop a second Brexit referendum from happening and to prevent then-Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn entering Downing Street. Cummings claimed that he forced Johnson to agree to terms in writing that would set his power in stone.The former aide shows us two Johnsons: one who is impulsive and unfocused, while the other is eager to please. Rarer, Johnson can be ruthless when needed.Cummings writes that he is much less useful than the media portray him to be and far more capable of self-awareness than they ever portray. Cummings writes that neither side has an interest in governing or policy.The former aide said that he was eager to become Prime Minister, but that he has little interest in the job.
