Former chief advisor to Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings, has delivered a scathing critique of the British government, describing it as a “fake meritocracy” in a candid discussion with Dr. Patrick Nash.
In the interview, Cummings shared his insights on the dysfunctionality of the state, its corruption, and the historical successes that shaped it. He also explored how technology could transform modern warfare.
Key revelations included:
- “Cabinet is a stage theatre,” Cummings claimed, adding that “both sides are happy with the fake version of government.”
- He alleged that government meetings are “literally scripted” by civil servants, with conclusions often pre-written in briefing notes before discussions even take place.
The conversation, hosted by the Pharos Foundation, delves into Cummings’ perspective on the failures of the British government and his thoughts on startups and state inefficiencies.
