AIDE 'CASHES IN'

Boris Johnson’s former adviser ‘set to make thousands dishing dirt on his time in No10’

BORIS Johnson’s ex-spin doctor Lee Cain is set to make thousands allegedly dishing the dirt on his time in No10.

The ex-adviser plans to reinvent himself as a celebrity speaker talking about his time in Government.

The move will trigger a fresh battle in the No10 civil war once the Government watchdog signs him off.

It's understood he has yet to seal a deal with any agency as he's still securing sign off.

But Mark Cowne, of talent agency Kruger Cowne, said he was ditching talks with the former aide after it was revealed he was in discussions with other agencies.

But he told PRWeek: “We wish Lee every success.”

Allies of Mr Cain confirmed he had not yet signed a contract with Kruger Crowne as he was waiting on approval from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA).

His speaker bio boasts he was the mastermind behind creating the slogan "Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives" during the pandemic and helped the Tories "win the largest election majority since Margaret Thatcher."

Former journalist Mr Cain was a close ally of the PM, working with him on the Vote Leave campaign, followed by his leadership contest in 2019, before being on his Government comms team.

Since leaving Downing Street he's also set up his own strategic advisory firm Charlesbye.
