Boris Johnson has announced two new appointments to Downing Street in an attempt to try and steady the ship after a tumultuous week.
Number 10 announced on Saturday evening that journalist Guto Harri is joining Mr Johnson's team as director of communications. He was Mr Johnson's spokesman and chief of staff during his first term as London mayor.
Mr Harri, 55, is a former adviser to Mr Johnson and a committed Remainer who once criticised the Prime Minister's political style. He was previously the BBC's chief political correspondent and returned to broadcasting in 2018, working for S4C. Last year he quit GB News following a row over him taking the knee on air during a debate about racism directed at England football players.
