Last night, it was claimed to The Mail on Sunday that Mr Cummings harbours a grudge against Dilyn because the dog once 'humped his leg' during a No 10 away day at Chequers. It is understood that the breaking point for Mr Lewis came when Mr Newman refused a request to attend a meeting last week. There have been 'two assassinations within a month' – former MP Luke Graham was ousted in favour of the equally short-lived Mr Lewis. Ms Stratton's recruitment started the chain of events which led to the ousting of Mr Cummings and Mr Cain. Mr Cummings declined to comment.
