There’s something pathetic about the hardman rhetoric favoured by some of Britain’s most privileged, powerful men
What a pleasure to hear once again from Dominic Cummings, the Conservative government’s Prince Harry, who on Wednesday appears in exile to kick off his searing new select committee series, The Me You Didn’t See.
In recent days, Dom has already been speaking his truth at vast and seemingly interminable length on a Twitter thread in which his inner turmoil is laid bare time and again. Hugely poignant now to look back on the brave face he wore during events of last year and to know that inside he was actually falling – falling apart. Attempts to reach out to people who ran the government, such as himself, seem to have met with total neglect. You can see why ultimately he had to do what any man would do, and move his family to a place of safety: hurtling in a car towards Barnard Castle, wondering if the black circles are sharper on the red background or the green background.
