Anyone can propose a brave or bold course of action. It’s very rare these people have any idea how to actually execute their plans.
Regarding Cummins, Why exactly? Dominic Cummins is articulate, seems to be quite intelligent and seems to be very fact/data orientated. I've also heard him describe how he would action particular policy.
Therefore I find it hard to believe he had didn't have any idea on how to execute his plans.
Increasingly I see people offering simplistic solutions that don’t even pass basic smell tests.
And then when you point out the obvious flaws the response is that you just have to be brave or take a risk.
But I do agree - we seem to be in a world full of intractable problems and doing something may be better than nothing.
I think that the UK won't solve its issues until it gets a PM with a bold plan and great leadership, whatever side they may come from.
I don't want to start another Brexit debate or even take position on it. However I'd like to point out that the key with Brexit is the plan on what to do afterwards and that is what has been completely lacking.
Whatever one's opinion of Cummings, he did put forward a plan and that plan was never attempted (probably too bold, shall we say, for politicians to touch it). I am not commenting on whether that would have worked or not, but at least he put forward a plan and strategy. On the other hand, Bojo's "plan" for Brexit seemed to have been limited to becoming PM...
