Dominic Cummings quit as Boris Johnson’s most powerful aide and left the prime minister’s office on Friday for the last time, throwing the future direction of the U.K. government into doubt.

The resignation brings to an end 17 months of combative and often controversial influence by a small group of pro-Brexit officials over the Johnson administration. Cummings was photographed leaving the prime minister’s official residence carrying a box on Friday.
