This tweet is important reading imo. High 'wrongness density', and therefore of use to people who want to avoid being grotesquely, snidely wrong in public. Let's have a look
1. As we know, Kate Bingham was not sacked. Tellingly, this was posted precisely one month before Margaret Keenan became the first person in the Western world to receive an approved coronavirus vaccine, so it was about as wrong as wrong can be
2. "Johnson loyalist". Kate Bingham is a venture capitalist. She is married to a Conservative minister, but she is not a "Johnson loyalist" -- she was appointed by him, but there were no grounds on which she could have been categorised as a loyal backer of the Prime Minister.
3. Even more interesting -- "first ... to be binned", in anticipation of more to come. Not only is she a loyalist, on this analysis, but her upcoming 'binning' (which never happened) was only to be the first of many.
4, and finally. "Feels important", right at the end of the tweet.
I think X will happen. X will lead to Y, and Z. This is important.
Of course, it did not happen -- but what "felt important" was the series of events that he predicted, that never took place.

This is fake news. This is the invention of a possible future, followed by an assertion that that future 'feels important', even though it did not happen and there were zero rational grounds to believe it would happen.
Anyway, buy Mr O'Brien's books, in which he will teach you how he has become a rational, analytical thinker
