Cummings denied he or anyone in Number 10 had briefed against Sir Mark Sedwill

Cummings gave spads a reading list ahead of a Saturday away-day next month

Dominic Cummings has emailed all special advisers personally offering to pay for Supercasting and High Output management for each of them

There are about 80 spads so if all take up his offer it will cost him £1,440
