**TL;DR** - **Cummings is creating divisions by airing his personal grievances in public.** When Dominic Cummings first began giving his testimony, it appeared that he was giving a behind-the-scenes look at the government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. It certainly began along these lines. However, his recent release of [messages] (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57498845) that describe health secretary Matt Hancock as 'hopeless'. Although it is somewhat amusing to hear the Prime Minister be quite so cutting about a member of his own cabinet, there is nothing positive to be gained from it. Instead, exposing the government's infighting will achieve nothing. It can only deepen divisions and exacerbate discord at a time when unified thought and cooperation is what the country desperately needs. As we look to confront a new wave of Covid, having the cabinet disagreements is to the benefit of no one.
