Labour humiliation: Clive Lewis silenced after bizarre Tory put down – 'Like Rasputin!'


Mr Lewis, who is a Labour leader candidate, went on a wild rant when the panel and audience were questioning the need for political parties to have special advisors. Mr Cummings came up in conversation, and Mr Lewis did not hold back in giving his opinion about him, using many dated cultural references.

“I can’t get out of my head that he’s the undead Jonathan Harker, which I find quite amusing.

“He’s like a Rasputin-type character.

He added: “I think Boris Johnson and the government are quite happy because he isn’t accountable and he gets to take all the flak.

“But actually, what this comes down to, is a lack of accountability from our government.

“They are usually babbling about ‘gender identity diversity blah blah’.

“What SW1 needs is not more drivel about ‘identity’ and ‘diversity’ from Oxbridge humanities graduates but more genuine cognitive diversity.”

“We need some true wild cards, artists, people who never went to university and fought their way out of an appalling hell hole, weirdos from William Gibson novels like that girl hired by Bigend as a brand ‘diviner’ who feels sick at the sight of Tommy Hilfiger or that Chinese-Cuban free runner from a crime family hired by the KGB.

“I’ll bin you within weeks if you don’t fit — don’t complain later because I made it clear now.”

He said via his website that the government was looking to hire project managers, data scientists and policy experts but made sure that the readers knew his mentioning of the word “diversity”in the job description was reference to “genuine cognitive diversity.”

It read: “People in SW1 talk a lot about ‘diversity’ but they rarely mean ‘true cognitive diversity’.

“If you want to figure out what characters around Putin might do, or how international criminal gangs might exploit holes in our border security, you don’t want more Oxbridge English graduates who chat about Lacan at dinner parties with TV producers and spread fake news about fake news.

“By definition I don’t really know what I’m looking for but I want people around No10 to be on the lookout for such people.”

He called on applicants to send their CVs to ideasfornumber10@gmail.com.

He continued: “I’ll have to spend time helping you so don’t apply unless you can commit to at least 2 years.

Mr Cummings has often been an outspoken critic about the the divide between class and status.

Around Christmas time, he spoke about the impending ‘Valentine’s Massacre’ for the civil service, something which drove fear into ministers.

There are also claims Mr Cummings is plotting wider civil service reform, which could see several Government departments merged or disbanded.

One official told The Sunday Times: “Everyone either talks of eating or being eaten.

“You definitely want to be the eater and not the eatee.”

Mr Cummings is a longstanding critic of the civil service machine and was even played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the TV drama ‘Brexit: The Uncivil War.”
