Looks like the Vote Leave gang in the government won't be left for too long.
Quote:
Boris Johnson’s decision to break the stranglehold of pro-Brexit campaigners on Downing Street is set to trigger a new year exodus of advisers, including his most senior aide Dominic Cummings, according to senior officials.
The prime minister’s refusal at a tense one-to-one meeting to make Vote Leave veteran Lee Cain his chief of staff was seen by Tory MPs as a watershed moment. Mr Cain announced his resignation shortly afterwards.
Mr Cummings and other Vote Leave officials are now discussing leaving Number 10, possibly once Britain finally breaks its formal ties with the EU at the end of the Brexit transition period on January 1.
Asked whether the “gang” was breaking up, one adviser said: “It very much feels that way. There are a lot of very unhappy people. It’s a big mess.” Asked if Mr Cummings would leave too, a friend said: “I think so.”
