TO his supporters Dominic Cummings is the political mastermind who helped win Brexit – but enemies see him as the unelected power behind the No 10 throne.
The dad-of-one, 48, is no stranger to controversy even before Boris Johnson hired him as his senior aide.
After campaigning against Britain joining the Euro, Cummings worked for then leader Iain Duncan Smith but left eight months later frustrated at attempts to modernise the party.
He then rose to prominence working for Michael Gove from 2007 to 2014.
The following year he became campaign director at the official Brexit group Vote Leave and was credited with creating its slogan: “Take back control”.
His notoriety was such that Benedict Cumberbatch played him in last year’s TV drama Brexit: The Uncivil War.
Hired by the PM in the summer 2019, Mr Cummings soon set to work on reshapingwhitehall, issuing a recruitment call “weirdos and misfits” to shake up the Civil Service.
But concerns of political interference in the coronavirus advisory group Sage emerged after it was revealed Cummings had been present at meetings.
