UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s senior adviser Dominic Cummings is expected to leave his position by the end of the year.
It follows a turbulent week at No 10 in which Lee Cain – the director of communications and an ally of Mr Cummings – also stood down amid reports of internal tensions at Downing Street.
What effect will this have on government policy?
Newsnight’s Political Editor Nicholas Watt reports and Kirsty Wark is joined by former adviser to the prime minister, Tim Montgomerie, former special adviser to Sajid Javid Salma Shah and The Sun’s political editor Harry Cole.
