LONDON - British finance minister Sajid Javid has challenged Prime Minister Boris Johnson over the dismissal of an aide by Johnson’s top advisor which has caused tension between the government’s two most powerful men, media said.
The Financial Times said on Friday that Javid was “livid” about the firing on Thursday of his press aide by Dominic Cummings, who was looking into whether government officials had helped opponents of Johnson’s Brexit plans. Javid had not threatened to resign but his relationship with Johnson had been compromised, the FT said.
Javid is due to announce a one-year government spending plan on Wednesday with a focus on more funding for education, health and the police. Johnson announced details of the increase in schools spending on Friday.
Welcome to our world.
Yeah, we have a lot of hand wringers too.
It was in the FT. Nothing further to add your honour.
Boris wrecking ball starting to swing just a start 🤡
How livid? Enough to vote against him in a Confidence motion next week? Or just livid enough to break some china? The young woman, his aide, was marched off the premises by police on the instructions of an unelected éminence grise! How often does that occur on Downing Street?
linged no kare keedled jokedked mad
Was he throwing his hair gel at him? 😜
