Mitchell has been a vocal critic of Boris Johnson’s Brexit strategy.
Boris Johnson’s top aide Dominic Cummings has accused Tory MP and former Cabinet minister Michael Gove of “leaking like a sieve” to undermine the Prime Minister. Mr Cummings said he was “not surprised” by the claim, adding: “That is what Gove does.” The pair have long been at odds, but it is understood that Mr Gove – who campaigned for Remain in the 2016 EU referendum – has been trying to build support for a fresh challenge against Mr Johnson. In a tweet sent on October 29th, Mr Cummings said: “Gove has been leaking like a sieve to undermine Boris and his team since he was Foreign Secretary. That is what Gove does.”
Cummings added: “It is not surprising that Gove would say this given that he has spent much of his time in office leaking against Theresa May and David Cameron.”
Why did Mitchell say Ferk?
Boris Johnson’s top aide Dominic Cummings accused former Cabinet minister Michael Gove of “leaking like a sieve” to undermine the Prime Minister. He said: “That is what Gove does.” But why did Mitchell say Ferk? It all started when there were reports that Theresa May could be about to call an early election.
