A special adviser to Boris Johnson has dismissed reports that the Prime Minister will quit in six months as he is still struggling on the back of contracting Covid-19.
A report published by the Times on 25 August claimed that Sir Humphry Wakefield, father-in-law of PM's top aide Dominic Cummings, allegedly told a visitor to his family's castle in Northumberland that Johnson would stand down in half a year's time. The prime minister contracted the virus in April, just days after Britain went into lockdown to contain the spread of the infection.
