Boris Johnson's director of communications quits in second Downing Street resignation in hours

Boris Johnson's chief spin doctor has resigned from his role at No 10, the Downing Street press office has confirmed this evening (Thursday).

In the second major departure from Downing Street today, Jack Doyle, the Downing Street director of communications, is said to have told staff his intention was always to leave after two years.

His decision was reportedly not linked to the departure of another top aide, policy chief Munira Mirza, who resigned earlier today with a stinging attack on the Prime Minister's Jimmy Savile slur against Keir Starmer, reports MirrorOnline.
