If the many reports of Trump’s latest outrage are making you furious, I can help, by giving you something to make you even more angry. (Extract from Cummings’ book but I see no reason to think he made it up)
Quote from Dominic Cummings’ book: “It wasn't until 25 September 2020*** that he finally understood even vaguely what leaving the Customs Union meant. I will never forget the look on his face when, after listening to Frost in a meeting** on the final stage of the negotiation, he said, 'No no no Frosty, fuck this, what happens with a deal?' And Frost looked up from his paper and said, 'PM, this is what happens with a deal, that's what leaving the Customs Union means.' The PM's face was priceless. He sat back in his chair and looked around the room with appalled disbelief and shook his head. Horrified officials' phones pinged around the Cabinet table. One very senior official texted me, 'Now I realise how you managed to get Brexit done :laughing emoji:. As Hunter S Thompson said, humour in politics is usually dark.”
