In a better designed world, Dominic Cummings would still be lurking in a back bedroom somewhere playing Call of Duty in his stained underpants and only dreaming of world domination in his spare time.

Dominic Cummings is bringing his extensive business experience – working on a failed airline startup in Russia and as a doorman at his uncle's nightclub – to a massive reform/privatisation/demolition of the civil service. What could possibly go wrong?

The dominant feeling I have on reading that Cummings recruitment blogpost is embarrassment. It sounds like the pitch a sociopathic Silicon Valley chancer with a Steve Jobs fixation would make to a group of venture capitalists.
Poor old Britain. Is this what it's come to?

Oh fuck. Dominic Cummings has written a job ad blog. He appears to be looking for someone who repeats themselves a lot. And someone who repeats themselves a lot. Classic Dom

However, if Writer in Pyjamas is correct, Cummings’ plans for the Civil Service may not go as smoothly as he’d like.
Dear Dominic Cummings,
I was a civil servant for 15 years. You’re woefully unprepared for the likes of us.
