BREXIT guru Dominic Cummings will quit by Christmas after having his "wings clipped" by Boris Johnson.
The former Vote Leave boss confirmed his departure late last night - after losing a key ally in spin doctor Lee Cain.
It came after a day of intense speculation over his future in Downing Street.
A senior source had earlier said: "If he's not gone by the end of the week, I doubt he will still be here next year."
Meanwhile, the PM's team were accused of fighting “like rats in a sack” on the day it should have been responding to the highest number of Covid cases ever recorded.
Mr Johnson is now under pressure to bring in "someone with big boy pants" to get a grip of No10.
The turf war follows the dramatic resignation of his top PR man Mr Cain in a bitter power struggle between aides and his fiancé Carrie Symonds.
Mr Cain, who wanted more powers, was enraged by Allegra Stratton’s appointment to be the new face of No10 at daily White House style TV briefings.
A compromise idea of making Mr Cain the boss of all No10 staff sparked a backlash from senior female aides including Ms Stratton, backed by pal Ms Symonds.
