Dominic Cummings’ Warning on Nigel Farage and British Deep State
Dominic Cummings has raised concerns that the British deep state might go to extreme lengths, including breaking the law, to keep Brexiteer Nigel Farage from gaining power in the UK. Cummings, a prominent political strategist and key figure in the Brexit campaign, believes this behavior stems from a perception that they are “fighting fascism.”
He mentioned that he has personally cautioned Farage about the pushback he could face while trying to ascend politically. Farage’s party has maintained a significant lead in recent opinion polls, which has led some to speculate about his potential success in the upcoming national election.
Cummings, who previously served as chief of staff to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, painted a stark picture of what he believes the establishment might do. He advised Farage to assemble a robust team well before the next election, asserting that neglecting this advice could lead to his defeat even before the ballots are cast.
Cummings stated that traditional political strategies won’t apply, as the old system will actively work against Farage’s entry into power. He referenced remarks from Labour leader Keir Starmer, who suggested that he could accept a Conservative victory but not a win for Farage.
Those in Starmer’s circle, and other influential figures within the establishment, are reportedly looking at global political examples, concluding that early and aggressive attacks are essential to prevent Farage from gaining influence. Cummings elaborated on this sentiment, warning that the referendum that led to Brexit should not have succeeded and should not happen again. He lamented that the campaign against Farage might involve tactics like leaking personal information and phone taps, justified under the guise of “fighting fascism.”
This is not merely speculation, according to Cummings; he insists that it’s a documented reality, as those involved explicitly acknowledge their motives.
In light of this, a recent campaign by the left-leaning Standard Newspaper attempted to cast doubt on Farage by scrutinizing his childhood. Zia Yusuf, a colleague of Farage, noted that such smear tactics had already begun, while Farage himself suggested that the public might ultimately recognize these efforts as dishonest, potentially strengthening their support for him instead.
