Former Downing Street aide Dominic Cummings has accused the Tories of doing “**** all” to take advantage of Brexit benefits.
Boris Johnson’s ex top advisor also took aim at the Eurozone’s issues which he says “have got worse”.
Mr Cummings said: “The Government has almost entirely not taken advantage of anything, not actually done anything differently. It doesn’t make any sense to do Brexit and then sit the way the Tories have done doing **** all and basically leaving in place a whole bunch of stupid EU things.”
The controversial adviser, who ran and won the campaign to leave the EU in 2016, wrote last August about the need for a party focussed on issues like cutting immigration, closing tax loopholes for “the one percent”, investing in public services, and dramatically reforming the Civil Service.
In an interview with the i paper, he said: “We were right about Brexit. If you look at the big arguments that we had in 2016… the dynamics of the EU and the Eurozone, the Euro is s**t, it’s institutionally knackered they can’t fix it, the Eurozone is economically stagnant.
“The Eurozone is culturally increasingly hostile to science and technology, it’s going to massively **** up everything like biotech, it’s going to **** up AI regulation etc and it’s got this combination of free movement, can’t cope with Islamic nut jobs and growing political extremist parties. I think we were basically right, all those problems have got worse.”
Mr Cummings has reportedly organised a series of focus groups to get the public’s views about a potential new anti-establishment party.
He has been ruminating on the new party since at least September last year, when he wrote about a need to “build a startup” to “replace the rotten Tories and win in 2028”.
Mr Cummings will have to persuade the public to back his new party, given anger still runs deep over his supposed Covid rule-breaking trip to Barnard Castle during lockdown.
Mr Cummings called Sir Keir Starmer a “duff leader” who would be identical to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
He said: “In lots of ways Labour’s just a carbon copy of the Tories. They’ve got a duff leader who’s shit at politics, can’t communicate, doesn’t actually have any picture of how he wants to be different, he just wants him to be in charge of the broken old institutions and then do what the Civil Service tell him to do all day.
“Starmer will be identical to Rishi in that regard. They’re riding on the total disintegration of the Tory party. Secondly, they’ve got the same problem that the Tories have got, which is the MP ranks are filled with obviously useless people who can’t do anything. And the party itself is dead. It’s intellectually dead, organisationally dead, same as the Tories.”
Mr Cummings also revealed that he has not spoken to Mr Johnson since the former Prime Minister ordered him to leave Downing Street with immediate effect in November 2020.
