Dominic Cummings has a lively mind. He is constantly thinking; planning; coming up with BIG ideas. During a time of momentous events in Britain (Brexit, a General Election, The Covid 19 Pandemic) the Government's chief adviser has been writing down his thoughts - in diaries, blog posts, on post-it notes and any scrap of paper he can find.
Discovered in an abandoned back-pack on a train (was the Government's chief advisor breaking the lockdown regulations for an unnecessary journey - surely not), we reveal the intriguing contents.
These include:
The full story of those trips to Durham (he travelled up every weekend - once on a horse and cart)
His plans for a biopic of Otto Von Bismarck (starring Sanjeev Bhaskar)
The contents of his 1995 Russian diary (which he planned to destroy)
What happens when you hit Michael Gove over the head with a pencil
His close relationship with the Prime Minister (and reaction to his death when given wrong information by Matt Hancock)
And much, much more....
