Boris Johnson fights Dominic Cummings' plans for a 'West Wing'-style No 10

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...yle-No-10.html

According to senior Government sources, the Prime Minister has spent six months objecting to Mr Cummings's attempt to move him out of the ramshackle No10 'den' where he works and into an open-plan space more similar to the West Wing of the White House, including large television screens displaying the 'performance data' of the Civil Service.

It is part of a plan by Mr Cummings to centralise and streamline the often cumbersome decision-making processes in No10 – a move civil servants have privately characterised as a 'power grab'.

The rickety corridors and offices of Downing Street create an often claustrophobic atmosphere for officials and political advisers, and have also been linked to the rapid spread of the coronavirus to Mr Johnson and his inner circle earlier this year.
I suspects that "fights" is an exaggeration .....

"Scaredy-Cat" Cummings is terrified of No 10's "atmosphere" - remember his notorious "runner" .....

Cummings and his team move to the Cabinet Office as part of Government shake-up

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...ment-shake-up/



The door that connects PM's chief adviser's new base 70 Whitehall to 10 Downing Street has been removed to unite the two office complexes.

The Prime Minister’s chief adviser Dominic Cummings and around 20 political officials have moved to a new base at the Cabinet Office.
Some Tory Party MPs and members will take a dim view of that .....
