Lee Cain quits: Dominic Cummings leaves home during ongoing Downing Street turmoil

Boris Johnson's adviser Dominic Cummings leaves his London home for a second time. The departure of the Number 10 communications chief Lee Cain has led to speculation the controversial aide may leave Downing Street. Lee Cain is a rare everyman figure in the blue-blooded hierarchy of Old Etonian Boris Johnson's No 10 operation before his decision last night to quit as director of communications. His rise to become one of a limited number of people with the Prime Minister's ear was stark but he was a divisive figure whose brash style saw him make enemies among Tory politics' more well-heeled operators. He was a key member of a coterie of Vote Leave 'lads' installed at the heart of Downing Street when Mr Johnson took power in the summer of 2019. The Ormskirk Grammar and Stafford University graduate was apparently forced out by a group including Carrie Symonds, Mr Johnson's privately-educated fiancee. Ten years ago, at the 2010 general election, Mr Cain, 39, was a reporter whose job at the Labour-supporting Daily Mirror saw him engage in fowl play by donning a man-sized rooster outfit to goad the future PM.
