Boris Johnson's former right-hand man has predicted Nigel Farage to be Britain's next Prime Minister but only if he can build the right team for Reform UK.
Dominic Cummings said Mr Farage will be successful if he can go beyond just being a "one man band with an iPhone" to gathering "genuinely talented people" together.
Mr Johnson's former Chief Adviser, whose fall from grace in 2020 led to a fiery exchange between the pair, said he would vote for the Reform leader if he managed to pull a strong team together.
"I think it's mainly in his hands," Mr Cummings said.

"If by the time of the local elections next year he's built the team that the country wants to see, then you have to say that he's the favourite at that point, for sure."
Mr Cummings added that if Mr Farage builds the team and "no one else does anything, then I'd vote for him, yeah".
"Why not?" he added.
The former Chief Adviser warned that if the Reform leader did not have the right team around him, he would "implode" once he was in the position.

In the same interview, Mr Cummings took aim at Sir Keir Starmer, describing him as "completely rubbish at politics".
He also said Sir Keir was an "NPC PM".
NPC is a gaming term for 'non-player character' and is used as an insult by the younger generations for being out of action.
Mr Cummings has been credited for building Mr Johnson's 2019 landslide victory over Jeremy Corbyn and even passing through the Brexit referendum.

Mr Cummings claimed Sir Keir would be gone by next year and replaced by either Angela Rayner or Ed Miliband.
But his attacks did not stop there.
The former adviser ripped into Kemi Badenoch, saying she was a "disaster" and would be out of the job by the May elections.
He wrote off the Tory party, saying it had "already passed the event horizon" and faced extinction.
Mr Cummings furthered his division with his former boss, saying it was 100 per cent "impossible" for him to make a comeback.
He spoke about how he helped bring down Mr Johnson with a series of leaks, which led to the "Partygate" scandal.
The ex-adviser said the British state was "broken".
"The way to stop the f***ing stupid boat dinghies is to deploy the Royal Navy in the English Channel," he said.
Mr Cummings added in an interview with The Times that he would not return to politics.
Instead, he prefers spending time with his family.
Meanwhile, Mr Cummings claimed China had obtained "vast amounts" of "extremely secret" information from the UK intelligence services and parts of Whitehall.
He said the breach was covered up after he was briefed on the compromised data in 2020 while he was a senior aide to Mr Johnson.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said the claim was "untrue".
