		</div><p>The British Government has sought to play down reports of major Downing Street tensions after a senior aide to Chancellor Sajid Javid was sacked by Boris Jonson’s key adviser.</p>
<p>Government sources insisted there were no trust issues between the Prime Minister and Mr Javid following the abrupt firing of the Chancellor’s adviser Sonia Khan.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Ms Khan was dismissed from her post by the PM’s top aide Dominic Cummings in Number 10 on Thursday evening.</p>
<figure id="attachment_139106" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-139106" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-139106" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/5CFB8B71-A478-45CC-AC8A-F6C7880CF702.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="857" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-139106" class="wp-caption-text">Dominic Cummings in Downing Street</figcaption></figure>
<p>It is understood that the Chancellor raised the issue with the PM on Friday.</p>
<p>Ms Khan was escorted from Number 10 by a police officer after her firing.</p>
<p>The incident comes just days before Mr Javid delivers his first major announcement as Chancellor when he unveils the details of the autumn spending review to MPs next week.</p>
<p>Mr Javid told the PM that Mr Cummings had undermined his authority, and the Chancellor demanded the return of Ms Khan, according to The Times.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Government sources said that Ms Khan had not been held responsible for the leak of “Operation Yellowhammer”, containing Whitehall predictions of the potential disruptive impact of a no-deal Brexit.</p>
<p>Government sources told PA news agency the affair had not damaged trust between the PM and Chancellor.</p>
<p>A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told PA: “On Thursday, 29 August, a police officer stationed at the door of No 10 Downing Street escorted a woman from the front door to exit gates as she did not have a security pass at the time. This is standard practice if a visitor does not have a pass.</p>
<p>“The woman was not arrested.”</p>
<p>Downing Street declined to comment on the matter.</p>
