Boris Johnson’s bid to reset his Government was being destabilised on Tuesday after Dominic Cummings launched a Twitter offensive against new communications chief Guto Harri over his lobbying work for Chinese telecoms giant Huawei.
In a series of comments posted online late on Monday night and early this morning, Mr Cummings accused No 10 of lying over Mr Harri’s security clearance and called for Labour to press the Government’s top civil servant Simon Case to open an investigation.
