Dominic Cummings’ time in Downing Street was a “nightmare”, Rishi Sunak appeared to tell Matt Hancock, according to the latest set of leaked WhatsApp messages. The remarks, made on the day that the former No10 aide used an appearance in front of MPs to claim that thousands of people died needlessly during the pandemic, show the then-Chancellor and Mr Hancock complaining about Mr Cummings. Mr Hancock messaged Mr Sunak: “Of all the bonkersness about Dom’s circus, the one I enjoy most is that he’s doing this to secure his place at the heart of the future Sunak administration.
”Mr Sunak, who in 2021 was seen as ambitious for the top job, said: “Ha! Ironic given I haven’t spoken to him since he left!”“It’s just awful & a stark reminder of how hard governing was,” Mr Hancock replies. Mr Sunak agrees: “It was such a difficult time for all of us. A nightmare I hope we never ever have to repeat.
”The details emerged in the latest tranche of leaked messages from the former health secretary, published by the Daily Telegraph. The messages also show Mr Hancock’s aide, Jamie Njoku-Goodwin, lashing out at Mr Cummings, on the same day he had used a parliamentary committee hearing to describe the Department of Health and Social Care as reduced to a “smoking ruin” by the pandemic. Mr Hancock messaged: “How would you deal with this Cummings crap?”His adviser responded: “I was about to message.
What a f*****g piece of s**t. You went out and backed him over Barnard castle, and he responds by briefing against you relentlessly, in private and now in public. He’s a psychotherapist.
