The shunting aside of Allegra Stratton at Number 10 has cleared the stage for one of Boris Johnson s top aides to take control of the press operation, in the wake of infighting between allies of deposed Brexit guru Dominic Cummings and the PM s fiancée Carrie Symonds.
Downing Street director of communications Jack Doyle is now the central figure steering Government messaging after Stratton was given a reduced role.
The pair were both survivors of last year s internal clashes and were set to co-manage No 10 communications - Stratton would front the new briefings while Doyle concentrated on strategy.
The idea for the daily press briefings are understood to have been the brainchild of Cummings ally Lee Cain, and the ousting of Stratton marks the culmination of the so-called Brexit Boys defeat in the battle for control of Number 10.

Mr Tehan is visiting London for two days of talks, starting tomorrow, and the pressure is on to secure a breakthrough due to the fact he has been allowed to make the trip despite Australia s strict coronavirus travel policy.
Department for International Trade sources told The Telegraph that Canberra needs to show some serious movement on their side if there is to be a breakthrough.
Talks are said to have stalled since Mr Tehan took the job back in December last year.
Sources accused Australia of being slow to move on key UK asks like on business visas and reducing tariffs on key exports like Scotch whisky.
Pregnant women in Britain should be offered coronavirus vaccines, health bosses concluded today.
Number 10 s vaccine advisory panel said real-world data from the rollout in the US had shown jabs made by Pfizer and Moderna were safe for expectant mothers.
Medics say it is preferable mothers-to-be are offered one of the two jabs instead of AstraZeneca s.
But the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the panel behind the decision, insisted there is no evidence to say AstraZeneca s vaccine is unsafe for pregnant women.
Instead, the group says there is more evidence available to recommend mothers-to-be get vaccines made by Pfizer or Moderna. No other jabs are currently being used in Britain.
Boris Johnson has confirmed churches in Britain will still be allowed to pray for gay people who are questioning their sexuality - despite plans to ban conversion therapy.
The Prime Minister said all adults can still get appropriate pastoral support including prayer in religious settings in the exploration of their sexual orientation .
He responded after church leaders raised fears that Christians could be prosecuted if they were banned from praying for people who no longer wish to be gay.
The PM told the Evangelical Alliance that he takes freedom of speech and freedom of religion very seriously while the Government plans to ban conversion therapy.
A public inquiry into the coronavirus response could take eight years to complete, the former judge who led the Bloody Sunday probe warned today.
Lord Saville said he would be amazed if a full inquiry could be conducted in less than seven or eight years , insisting: You can t hurry these things.
The government has come under heavy fire for being slow to recognise the scale of the threat from the virus early on, with accusations ministers locked down too late and failed to get testing capacity in place - fuelling the death toll.
Much of the criticism has been blunted more recently by the strong performance of the UK s vaccine rollout.
