NEW: Two sources say Dominic Cummings grew concerned about the "frat house" atmosphere in Johnson's flat and upstairs at Chequers. He and Martin Reynolds, the PPS, agreed Johnson should only get STRAP classified materials in his office downstairs thetimes.co.uk/article/is-bor…
STRAP papers are usually classified Top Secret, but you have to have an even higher level of security clearance to see them and be a named individual. They are easy to spot because they are on pink paper thetimes.co.uk/article/is-bor…
NEW: It is claimed that the pink papers were left lying around and spilling out of Johnson's red box thetimes.co.uk/article/is-bor…
A third Downing Street source says Johnson's red box was sometimes left outside the door of the flat on Saturdays and that it would be there in the morning and appear untouched in the evening thetimes.co.uk/article/is-bor…
Why is this relevant now? It is understood that as Sue Gray's inquiry proceeded into socialising in the No 10 flat that it became clear that several of Carrie Johnson's friends in government have the access pin code for the private flat thetimes.co.uk/article/is-bor…
No 10 have not denied any of this. All we got was a "we don't comment on security" line. Unclear if these tighter protocols around the red box are still in place
