NIGEL Farage is currently on track to become the next Prime Minister, Dominic Cummings has claimed.
The Vote Leave mastermind hailed “one-man band” Nigel as favourite to lead the country, but said he needs to build a top team around him.
Cummings said the Reform UK leader needed to bring in “talented people” if he wants the keys to Number 10.
Slamming Sir Keir Starmer as “rubbish at politics”, Boris Johnson’s former right-hand man said he would be tempted to vote for Farage.
Speaking to The Times, Cummings said: “I agree with him about Brexit. And he’s been right about the immigration thing. All the way along.
“He’s the first major figure in Westminster who said, we are going down a strategic disaster with this.
“If by the local elections next year he’s built the team the country wants to see… you have to say that he’s the favourite at that point, for sure.”
Earlier this year, it was reported Cummings was teaming up with billionaire Elon Musk to target Sir Keir Starmer online.
Cummings was said to be guiding the Tesla chief’s social media attacks, with the pair communicating via WhatsApp.
In 2023, it was alleged the former chief adviser was plotting the creation of a new political party to challenge the Tories.
He told he was sounding out donors to try to launch his venture by Christmas.
In a series of blog posts, Mr Cummings said it was “time to build up to replace the rotten Tories and win”.
At the time, he said future Labour failures would offer his so-called Startup Party a huge opportunity to take power in 2028.
Cummings said the new party would be tougher on crime and immigration.
