EXC: Boris Johnson gave Brexit bruiser Dominic Cummings his marching orders rather than letting the axed aide serve until Christmas after "shouty" showdown on Thursday and "toxic" briefings about Carrie Symonds and Lord Frost: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/13193159/livid-boris-johnson-gives-cummings-marching-orders/
Angry Prime Minister wanted Cummings and Cain out “sooner rather than later” after bloody battle and they will work out their notice from home. A No10 source said: “The atmosphere is one of reset and change and that can’t happen with those two still in the building.”
“Their behaviour in the last 72 hours was toxic and Boris said enough is enough.” Insiders point to vicious negative briefings to press about Symonds and anonymous claims that chief Brexit negotiator David Frost could follow the pair out of the door as “crossing the line.”
Friends of Lord Frost said he was “baffled” by the rumour and warned it undermined his position staring down Brussels in the final stages of trade talks with the EU.
Latest in a spectacular week of briefing and counter briefing that would have made Malcolm Tucker blush. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/13193159/livid-boris-johnson-gives-cummings-marching-orders/
