Incompetence.
Incompetence is a Built in feature not a Bug, in Boris Johnsons Government.
Since Boris doesn't cherish much beyond the Idea of Himself as a Figure of Greatness
The safe bet is his plan to merge the Foreign office with the Dept for International Development, belongs to the category of "Gestural Distraction.

I disagree.
Incompetence is endemic in this Government. It is not there on purpose or deliberately manufactured. It is the result of people who share the same dogma, and who have the same abilities (or more accurately, inabilities) as their contemporaries.
As for International Development and the Foreign Office merging, that is a no brainer thing to do. Obviously it is not a merger, it is an hostile takeover.
It is straight out of Cummings plan to reorganise Westminster and Whitehall, and not something made up on the fly to take attention away from the Corona fiasco.

After Margaret Thatcher the Conservative Party became moribund and that led to 13 years of Labour Governments.
To get back into power, Cameron made the Conservative Party softer and less radical. To many, that was a betrayal. Boris is a realignment for the Tories, a return to its core values.
Except Boris and his intake are not radical thinkers and are mostly dull journey men and women.
Ideal conditions for someone like Cummings who has ideas and know how power works to realise those ideas.
So Cummings doesn’t want to destroy No.10, he wants to update it.

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions was advising Boris on meal vouchers for poor children.
She does a terrible job of impersonating anything like a competent Cabinet Minister, but her Ken Clark/Winston Churchill impersonation is quite good.
