Civil servants plotted to try to gag Dominic Cummings and stop him spilling insider secrets about his time in Downing Street, it was claimed today.
Officials are said to have drafted a letter to be sent to Boris Johnson's former chief aide instructing him to stop publishing private information on Twitter and on his blog.
However, Number 10 stepped in and vetoed the plan amid fears that sending it would 'just make it worse'.
Mr Cummings has repeatedly embarrassed his former boss in recent months by publishing lengthy Twitter threads and blog posts spilling the beans on life in Number 10.
