It was previously reported that Dominic Cummings will leave the British government at Christmas.
Now there are reports that he has already left. On Friday morning, he was photographed carrying a box from house number 10 in Downing Street.
There has been speculation about his departure during the week. The BBC’s political editor, Laura Kuenssburg, has said there is no doubt that it has been “accelerated by chaos at No. 10 in recent days.”
The “chaos” is said to be due to internal divisions. They previously led another of Boris Johnson’s close associates, Lee Cain, to resign and he was expected to resign by the end of the year.
“Must be approved by Carrie”
But according to the Daily Mail, there may be more behind Dominic Cummings grabbing his things and leaving on Friday. According to the newspaper, Carrie Symonds, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s fiancée, has planned a “coup” to have Cummings replaced by her good friend Sajid Javid.
However, it would be “surprising” if Javid actually filled the empty seat, writes the Daily Mail. The former British Chancellor of the Exchequer resigned in February after Boris Johnson failed to listen to him.
Carrie Symond’s relationship with Dominic Cummings and Lee Cain is said to be strained. This at the same time as a Daily Mail source says:
– The question on everyone’s lips is “who should I choose now?” … it seems that senior positions now need to be approved by Carrie.
In 2019, before Boris Johnson became prime minister, a dispute broke out between him and Carrie Symonds that led to police intervention.
