Published: 10:11 BST, 28 May 2021 | Updated: 14:39 BST, 28 May 2021. Dominic Cummings' top 'data geek' in No 10 - one of the last remaining members of his faction - is leaving Downing Street as part of a 'clearout of anyone' linked with him, it emerged today. Dr Ben Warner, a physicist turned data scientist, was called a hero and compared to Jeff Goldblum in the alien invasion movie Independence Day by his ex-boss during seven-hours of evidence to MPs on Wednesday. But 'The Warnertron', as he is nicknamed by friends, is leaving his role as the purge of aides linked to the renegade aide continues inside No 10 after a bitter internal war throughout 2020 between Cummings and Boris Johnson and his fiancee Carrie. Insiders have claimed a leaving card and collection for Dr Warner began moving around the corridors of power this week with the instruction that it must be signed by the end of today. A source told The Times that his exit, days after being named by Mr Cummings as a hero of lockdown, is part of 'clearout of anyone linked with Dom', who fell out badly with Boris and Carrie before he left in November. 'The PM is putting an end to it, as would anyone in his shoes', the insider said. Mr Cummings also praised Dr Warner's brother Marc, an AI expert, who he believed should have been put in charge of tackling the pandemic but Boris Johnson refused. Dr Ben Warner, Dominic Cummings' top 'data geek' in No 10 and one of the last remaining members of his faction, is leaving Downing Street. Dominic Cummings' 'data geek' who worked on the Vote Leave campaign Dr Ben Warner (right next to the PM) told the Prime Minister he needed to change course to protect the NHS at the start of the pandemic. Mr Cummings said: 'It was like a scene from Independence Day with Jeff Goldblum (right) saying the aliens are here and your whole plan is broken and you need a new plan. With Ben Warner in the Jeff Goldblum role' RELATED ARTICLES.

MPs pile pressure on Boris Johnson to stick to June 21. Share this article. Dr Warner's departure came after his former boss Dominic Cummings declared war on the PM, branding him unfit to lead the country and accusing him of causing the deaths of thousands of people because of poor decisions during the pandemic. Cummings' clan no long in Downing Street after 'bonfire of aides' Ben Warner, a physicist and data expert, was brought into No 10 on the advice of Dominic Cummings after his success with modelling Vote Leave. Ben Warner, a data scientist who worked alongside Dominic Cummings on the Vote Leave campaign in 2016, was brought into Downing Street in December 2019 after Boris Johnson's election win. The PM asked him to join the Government after he predicted the election result to within one seat and was also a was a key figure in modelling for the EU referendum campaign in 2016, helping target working class pro-Brexit communities. When the pandemic started in the UK, Mr Cummings said he leaned heavily on his long-term colleague, who he praised repeatedly. This included sending him to top secret Cobra meetings. The Warnertron's 'ethical' AI expert brother. Marc Warner should have been in charge of the response, Cummings claimed. Cummings also praised Ben Warner's brother Marc, an AI expert and millionaire businessman, as a hero who saved 'thousands of lives'. He said Mr Warner should have been given 'kingly authority' to run Covid response - but this was refused. He insisted his work with tech companies saved thousands of lives. He said: 'Marc Warner is one of the most ethical people I've met. If I'd been Prime Minister I would have said Marc Warner is in charge of this whole thing. He speaks with my authority. He has as close to kingly authority as the state has legally to do stuff, and pushing the barriers of legality.' The 'Chicken Man' and press chief. Sources say the former director of communications Lee Cain (pictured, right, with Dominic Cummings) was 'running the country' when Government's highest office holders had Covid-19. Longstanding Johnson aide Lee Cain, a Dominic Cummings loyalist, announced he was resigning in November despite being touted for promotion to No10 chief of staff just hours earlier. The departure was the culmination of a bitter power struggle inside Mr Johnson's top team, with rival factions battling for supremacy even as the government struggled to tackle the coronavirus crisis.

    DEPARTMENTAL OVERVIEW The performance of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport 2012-13 MARCH 2014 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 860 staff. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of almost £1.2 billion in 2012. Contents Introduction Aim and scope of this briefing 4 Part One About the Department 5 Part Two Recent NAO work on the Department 21 Appendix One The Department’s sponsored bodies at 1 April 2013 30 Appendix Two Results of the Civil Service People Survey 2013 32 Appendix Three Publications by the NAO on the Department since April 2012 34 Appendix Four Cross-government reports of relevance to the Department in 2013 35 Links to external websites were valid at the time of publication of this report.
