Most people think that Mr Cummings, Mr Johnson’s former senior Downing Street aide, wanted revenge on his Tory foes rather than to establish the facts. But despite the low regard for Mr Cummings, there is support for some of his most controversial views. These are among the findings of the first major survey conducted since Mr Cummings’ blistering attacks on Mr Johnson and Mr Hancock this week. Nearly two in three people (65 per cent) say Mr Cummings does not tell the truth while 51 per cent say that Mr Johnson and Mr Hancock do not tell the truth. There is similar support for other claims by Mr Cummings regarding Mr Johnson’s indiscreet utterances.
