Claims that Boris Johnson's top adviser does not believe in a new withdrawal agreement could be "the most damaging leak" for the prime minister, the BBC's Andrew Marr has said.
The Daily Telegraph reports today that Dominic Cummings said in internal strategy meetings he considered fresh negotiations with the EU to be a "sham".
The comments directly contradict what Mr Johnson has previously said about wanting to secure a new deal with Brussels.

EXC: Inside Brexit War Cabinet:
- Dominic Cummings described EU negotiation as "a sham" in internal strategy meetings, per two highly placed sources.
- AG Cox warned Johnson it was "complete fantasy" to think EU would bin backstop

At the heart of this story is the question as to whether:
a) the Johnson administration is sincere about getting a new deal with the EU
b) if they seriously trying, having not yet presented any substantive proposals
In that meeting Sherpa David Frost made presentation entitled “Approach to engagement with the EU on renegotiation” - in which the repeated idea was to "run down the clock". That was adopted as 'formal policy'.
