    • Abstract:
      Dominic Grieve did not stir when Morrissey turned Grieve's praise for his father, who was a Conservative MP, into an attack. He was asked about Grieve, who had criticised Cummings's "arrogance" and "ignorance" the previous day; Cummings had reportedly briefed that Johnson could ignore any no-confidence vote against him in the Commons. Grieve could not remember having met Cummings, though he thought he must have in 2002, when Cummings served briefly as director of strategy to the then Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith. Cummings is the reason that Grieve and Clarke are no longer Conservatives, and he continues to run Downing Street. [Extracted from the article]
