Dominic Cummings: Boris Johnson's chief adviser to leave job 'by Christmas'

It has been reported the Prime Minister's controversial senior adviser Dominic Cummings — who sparked a national furore over alleged coronavirus lockdown breaches, is to leave his job.

BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has tweeted to say that Mr Cummings will leave his Downing Street post by the end of 2020.

Mr Cummings told the BBC "rumours of me threatening to resign are invented," after speculation this week.

But he went on to say that his position has not changed since a blog he posted in January in which he said he wanted to make himself "largely redundant" by the end of 2020.

A senior Downing Street source told the BBC that Mr Cummings would be "out of government" by Christmas.

The news follows a behind-the-scenes power struggle at No 10 this week in which Lee Cain, the director of communications and friend of Mr Cummings, stood down.

The pair worked together on the Leave campaign during the EU referendum.

Good morning. Today you can find live coronavirus news in Scotland and other parts of the UK and the world by following this blog.

Three parts of Scotland have been moved into a tougher tier of coronavirus restrictions.

Fife, Perth and Kinross and Angus will enter the weekend under tougher Covid restrictions.

The three local authority areas are due to move from level two to level three from 6am today. 

The Scottish Government made the changes based on the rising number of cases in these council areas.
