		</div><p>Steve Bannon, a forceful but divisive presence in President Donald Trump&#8217;s White House, is leaving.</p>
<p>Mr Trump accepted Mr Bannon&#8217;s resignation on Friday, ending a turbulent seven months for his chief strategist, the latest to depart from the president&#8217;s administration in turmoil. White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday would be Mr Bannon&#8217;s last day on the job.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are grateful for his service and wish him the best,&#8221; she said in a statement confirming reports of Mr Bannon&#8217;s departure. Mr Bannon offered his resignation to Mr Trump on August 7, according to one person close to the adviser.</p>
<p>The resignation was to go into effect a week later, August 14, which was the one-year anniversary of when he officially joined Mr Trump&#8217;s presidential campaign. It was then held back a few days after the violence in Charlottesville.</p>
<p>But Mr Bannon had been on shaky ground for weeks, and his standing appeared in jeopardy when Mr Trump&#8217;s new chief of staff, John Kelly, embarked on a personnel review of West Wing staff. Mr Kelly had indicated to aides that significant changes could be coming, according to an official familiar with Mr Kelly&#8217;s plans but not authorised to speak publicly.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_1522.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/IMG_1522-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="360" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-110198" /></a></p>
<p>The president had also repeatedly diminished Mr Bannon&#8217;s role in his campaign in recent remarks and refused to express confidence during an impromptu news conference on Tuesday. &#8220;He&#8217;s a good person. He actually gets very unfair press in that regard,&#8221; Mr Trump said. &#8220;But we&#8217;ll see what happens with Mr Bannon.&#8221;</p>
<p>The decision whether to drop Mr Bannon was more than just a personnel matter. The media guru is viewed in some circles as Mr Trump&#8217;s connection to his base and the protector of Mr Trump&#8217;s disruptive, conservative agenda.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a tough pill to swallow if Steve is gone because you have a Republican West Wing that&#8217;s filled with generals and Democrats,&#8221; said former campaign strategist Sam Nunberg, shortly before the news of Mr Bannon&#8217;s departure broke. &#8220;It would feel like the twilight zone.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier: White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is leaving his White House post, sources say.<br />
They are two people familiar with the decision, who demanded anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss private conversations.</p>
<p>Mr Bannon was a key adviser to President Donald Trump&#8217;s general election campaign and has been a forceful but contentious presence in a divided White House. The former leader of conservative Breitbart News pushed Mr Trump to follow through with his campaign promises.</p>
<p>But he has also sparred with some of Mr Trump&#8217;s closest advisers, including son-in-law Jared Kushner.</p>
