Johnson and Dominic Cummings.
I found these news items to be interesting in light of the recent arrest and arraignment of Steve
Bannon on criminal charges. Evidently ideologues of a feather do flock together...
"Steve Bannon: We went back and forth on the themes of Johnsons big speech..."
from the article: In a London hotel, the far-right activist told how he had exchanged texts with the former foreign secretary on his big resignation speech (...)
photo caption: Boris Johnson has denied having links to the US activist Steve Bannon.

Note: When I first read this article early this morning it was presented in full. Now it's registration protected. The gist of the rest of the story was that after the press pointed out that Johnson's denial
of any relationship with Bannon was a lie No. 10 backed off of the denial. Nigel Farage was also mentioned having contact with Bannon. Probably worth registering to read the rest but not for me.
Use your own discretion.

Steve Bannon, who has previously backed a range of notorious far-right political figures, has publicly endorsed Dominic Cummings for the first time, calling him a brilliant guy.
Donald Trumps former chief strategist also said that Boris Johnson will become an increasingly populist prime minister after jettisoning his political positioning as a globalist to opportunistically jump on Brexit.
But Bannon, who helped mastermind Trumps successful bid for the presidency, reserved his highest praise for Johnsons most senior aide.
A brilliant guy. I think Cummings is very smart where he puts his efforts. What I like about him is he has the ability to focus on the main things, Bannon said, hailing the Downing Street strategist for his role in Brexit and Johnsons 2019 election triumph.

Note:After I thought things over and decided to write this op I returned to The Guardian website but
the articles were no longer available and I had to go into my History to retrieve them.
Thanks to the SDNY for getting this guy and his conspirators off the street and again into the public view.
