(Bloomberg) -- Dominic Cummings, hinted he may quit as Boris Johnson’s top aide by the end of the year, telling the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg that his position “hasn’t changed” since he wrote in January that he wanted to be “largely redundant” within a year.

Amid swirling rumors in Westminster following the resignation late Wednesday of Johnson’s communications chief, Lee Cain, a close ally, Cummings told Kuenssberg “rumors of me threatening to resign are invented, rumors of me asking others to resign are invented,” the BBC journalist said late Thursday ina series of tweets.
