       Dominic Cummings is hoping for a political comeback in the form of a new anti-establishment party that may bring about the end of the Conservatives altogether.

       Mr Cummings, Boris Johnson’s former senior adviser, has reportedly been organising a series of focus groups to find out whether the public would support the potential new party.

       He has been ruminating on the new party since at least September last year, when he wrote about a need to “build a startup” to “replace the rotten Tories and win in 2028”.

       At the time, a Tory source dismissed the threat as “yet more mad ramblings from a narcissistic egomaniac who is thankfully becoming increasingly irrelevant”.

       It appears the swipe hasn’t put Mr Cummings off his plan, however, as Politico reports this morning that the opinion testing focus groups are already up and running.

       The controversial adviser, who ran and won the campaign to leave the EU in 2016, wrote last August about the need for a party focussed on issues like cutting immigration, closing tax loopholes for “the one percent”, investing in public services and dramatically reforming the Civil Service.

       He added that he would need to have a plan “immediately after the exit polls are live on election night 2024” to “divert energy and money away from ‘how to revive the Tories’ to ‘how to replace the Tories’”.

       Mr Cummings would also have to catch up with Reform UK, which similarly occupies a space on the anti-establishment, anti-immigration Right and is polling around 15 percent.

       While Mr Cummings grew to hate Mr Johnson, he was more supportive of Rishi Sunak ahead of him becoming Prime Minister.

       However, he now says Mr Sunak has “no grip of power, no governing plan, no message and no political strategy worth spit”.

       “The old system isn’t getting any better than Sunak as PM, so what does this say about the system?” he added.

       Of today’s news that his plans for a new party are in full swing, a senior Brexiteer Tory MP said: “Who would want to stand for election for his party?

       “Almost everyone who has ever worked with Dominic Cummings has come away saying awful things about him.”

       Mr Cummings will have a job persuading the public to back his new party, given anger still runs deep over his supposed Covid rule-breaking trip to Barnard Castle during lockdown.

       At the time, 59 percent of voters said they believed he had broken Covid rules by travelling up to his parents-in-law’s house in County Durham.
