Boris Johnson’s chief of staff is on the brink of leaving Downing Street after just four months in the job, sources claim.
Former Treasury civil servant Dan Rosenfeld has had a baptism of fire since he took up his position in January, and has been the subject of hostile briefings from all sides as the factional wars have raged in No 10. Within weeks of him starting, it was claimed that a ‘Sack Dan’ campaign was under way due to his management style.
One official claimed that in meetings he was ‘imbued with the false bonhomie of David Brent in The Office’. Another said: ‘He’s obsessed with process and paperwork rather than politics and people.’
