Dominic Cummings blasts Cabinet members as ‘useless f***pigs’<\/h3>\n

Michael Gove\u2019s ex-wife Sarah Vine has leapt to Boris Johnson\u2019s defence, after watching hours of vitriolic abuse hurled at him by his former advisors during yesterday\u2019s Covid inquiry.<\/p>\n

Ms Vine, a Mail columnist, said that Dominic Cummings\u2019s \u201cdetermination to paint Boris as lazy, incompetent, almost criminally responsible\u2026 simply doesn\u2019t chime with what I saw going on behind the scenes\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ms Vine was married to Cabinet Minister Michael Gove during the pandemic, whom she pointed out has not historically shied away from harshly criticising Mr Johnson.<\/p>\n

However she said that when she asked Mr Gove how Mr Johnson was coping with Covid, he \u201cprofessed himself impressed\u201d.<\/p>\n

He replied: \u201cTo be fair to Boris, he’s the best I’ve ever seen him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Gove, in contrast to Lee Cain and Dominic Cummings, described Mr Johnson as \u201cConscientious, rigorous, decisive, and on top of his brief\u201d.<\/p>\n

The now-Levelling Up Secretary has been accused of stabbing Boris Johnson in the back at least twice, with Ms Vine arguing that if he thought the PM lacking in any way, he \u201cwould have been the first to say something – to me, but also, more importantly, to Boris\u2019s face\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ms Vine argued that Mr Gove was \u201cgenuinely impressed\u201d with the PM\u2019s Covid efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why I just don’t buy Lee Cain and Dominic Cummings’s utterly contrasting account of Boris’s behaviour, as told to the Covid inquiry yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir determination to paint Boris as a lazy, incompetent, almost criminally irresponsible Prime Minister \u2014 at times in thrall to his jezebel of a wife \u2014 simply doesn’t chime with what I saw going on behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n
