Dominic Cummings plotting to create new political party to challenge Tories
DOMINIC Cummings is plotting the creation of a new political party to challenge the Tories.
Boris Johnson’s former chief adviser says he has been sounding out donors to try to launch his venture by Christmas.
In a series of blog posts, Mr Cummings said it was “time to build up to replace the rotten Tories and win”.
The mastermind of the Leave campaign says he believes Rishi Sunak will lose the next election.
And he said future Labour failures will offer his so-called Startup Party a huge opportunity to take power in 2028.
Mr Cummings — who was accused of breaking Covid lockdown with a trip to Barnard Castle — said the new party would be tougher on crime and immigration.
The Startup Party would also leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
In addition, it would close tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy and link MPs’ salaries to median incomes.
