Dominic Cummings was seen leaving Number 10 carrying boxes on Friday evening amid reports he had quit his post with immediate effect. It followed days of tension at Number 10


Boris Johnson gave Dominic Cummings marching orders after a “shouty” showdown and a “toxic” briefing, it has been reported.
The Prime Minister’s chief adviser left Downing Street yesterday night following days of in-fighting at Number 10.
The controversial aide was seen leaving Number 10 carrying boxes on Friday evening amid reports he had quit his post with immediate effect.
He and Lee Cain, who resigned as communications chief, will reportedly still be employed until the middle of next month.
However, reports suggested Mr Cummings would be working from home on projects such as mass testing.

Mr Cain is understood to have quit on Wednesday after the PM refused to make him Chief of Staff – an appointment opposed by the Prime Minister’s partner, Ms Symonds.
