so it's no surprise that Boris has joined his eminence grise in that:

Anger over Westminster security pass for Cummings

Senior MPs have demanded to know why Dominic Cummings, the prime minister’s adviser, has been granted a security pass for the Palace of Westminster even though he has been found in contempt of parliament.

The former head of the Vote Leave campaign, who is now employed inside No 10, was sanctioned in March this year for failing to appear before the digital, culture, media and sport committee’s inquiry into fake news. MPs on the Commons committee of privileges found that his refusal to give oral evidence constituted a significant interference in the work of the inquiry.

Damian Collins, chair of the media committee, said at that time that Cummings had shown a “total disregard” for the authority of parliament and called for statutory powers to “reassert the authority that is missing”.

Cummings, now employed as a special adviser to Boris Johnson, was seen in parliament several times last week as a cross-party group of MPs seized control of the parliamentary timetable. They tabled a bill to force Johnson to ask the EU for an extension to the Brexit deadline from 31 October to 31 January, if no agreement has been reached with Brussels by the middle of next month.

This is why the Johnson regime is the direct equivalent of the Trump one. They really don't think rules and laws should apply to them.
