Guto Harri has paid tribute to departed Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he announced he had left his Downing Street job. The former journalist became Boris Johnson's director of communications in February of this year but announced via LinkedIn that he was leaving the post after seven months.
This comes after Liz Truss was appointed as the new Prime Minister having won the race to become the leader of the Conservative Party. Mr Johnson left his role on Tuesday after three years and 44 days in office.
Mr Harri said working at Number 10 had been "relentless" and "exhausting" but "deeply fulfilling" at the same time. He praised the former PM for his work but claimed the Conservative Party had a "collective appetite for self-harm". He also said that Liz Truss was an experienced politician and that the public needed her to succeed during this challenging time.
