Jack Doyle gave out awards at the Christmas party in No 10 during lockdown.
He says he’s left of his own choice and according to his own timing, but there was pressure on him to go over the partygate accusations, though the PM is said to have previously refused his resignation.

Jack Doyle is the second member of staff linked to the partygate allegations to have resigned since the scandal emerged. Allegra Stratton was until now the first and only advisor to go.
No 10 spokesperson:
“Jack Doyle has left government. He has made a huge contribution and the Prime Minister is immensely grateful for the work he has done.”

This is the biggest clear out in No 10 I can recall - certainly beyond Theresa May being forced by her MPs to sack her favoured advisors following the 2017 election.
Boris Johnson now has virtually no close confidants left in No 10, having already alienated Cummings and others.
