Boris Johnson’s former Svengali Dominic Cummings founded a new technology consultancy three months after his sensational departure from No. 10.

Mr. Cummings is the director of Siwah Ltd. which was incorporated on February 25th.

It is not clear what exactly the company will be doing, but its “type of business” is listed as “Information Technology Consulting Activities”.

Boris Johnson’s former top aide Cummings resigned last November after Prime Minister’s fiancée Carrie Symonds reportedly blocked the promotion of his right-wing husband Lee Cain on Downing Street after months of civil war.

During his tenure as Mr. Johnson’s senior official, Mr. Cummings issued a clarification notice asking “lunatics” and “outsiders” to work in No. 10.

He wrote an extraordinary blog post in which he called for “some real wild cards, artists, people who never went to university and fought their way out of a horrific hellhole”.

The new consulting company Siwah Ltd. does not yet have a website or public profile, which has led many to speculate about what Mr Cummings has in store.

Some said the company could be named after Oasis Wāḥat Sīwah in Egypt.

There Alexander the Great is said to be 332 BC. To have been appointed Pharaoh of Egypt.

Mr. Cummings was casually strolling down Downing Street in November while clinging to a cardboard box after his closest ally Cain brutally fell on his sword – after failing to secure the key role of Mr. Johnson’s chief of staff.

Reports followed that Miss Symonds blocked Cain’s promotion and warned it was a “mistake”.

During the riot in No. 10, she was allegedly referred to by opponents as “Princess Nut Nut”.

Other tags for Ms. Symonds, who were previously in circulation in the Brexit clique, are “Cersei”, a reference to the shadowy Game of Thrones character.

Mr Cummings’ departure sparked much speculation about where he would go next – some sources claimed he might soon be offered the job of running the UK’s first £ 800 million defense research agency.

The proposed body, based on the American Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is referred to as one of its “pet projects”.

A source told the FT: ‘One expectation among the Whitehall mandarins is that Mr Cummings could leave number 10 to become the first leader of his pet project: a new high risk, high reward scientific research site running on the Darpa Agency based in the USA ‘.

Less than two years ago, Mr Cummings was relatively unknown outside of Westminster, but got upset with his combative nature, desire to take over the establishment, and unfortunate decision to break the rules at the first lock to travel north from London , moved into public awareness with his sick family.

Mr Cummings’ 16 months on Downing Street also gives him the opportunity to make millions of pounds as a consultant advising companies on Brexit, the coronavirus crisis and access to Whitehall.

Dominic Cummings' allies are said to have a cruel nickname

Dominic Cummings’ allies reportedly used a cruel nickname “Princess Nut Nut” for Carrie Symonds (pictured with the Prime Minister last year).

Another insider told MailOnline: “Dom has driven public service reform – he could make a fortune as a consultant.”

The 48-year-old father of a man married to viewer journalist Mary Wakefield, daughter of the Baronet Sir Humphry Wakefield, could also write a book about his reign that could secure him a publishing deal between £ 500,000 and £ 1 million.

It was revealed last week that Boris Johnson’s dog Dilyn was the unintentional victim of an increasingly bitter feud between Mr. Cummings and Miss Symonds.

Mr Cummings was accused of being behind allegations that the dog stretched its leg over a 10 aide’s purse and chewed on antique furniture and books in the Prime Minister’s country house – which inspired Mr Johnson to call out to someone to please the f * ***** dog ‘.

It has been alleged that Mr. Cummings holds a grudge against Dilyn for having the dog “thrown” his leg once on Day # 10 at Checkers.

On Downing Street under Mr. Cummings (pictured) there have long been concerns about the

On Downing Street under Mr Cummings (pictured), concerns about “Laddic” culture have long been raised.

It has been alleged that he is now using Dilyn to wage a proxy war against the prime minister’s fiancée.

Ms. Symonds was instrumental in ousting Mr. Cummings and Lee Cain, director of communications and member of the Vote Leave Group, in November.

On Friday, one of the last remaining members of that group was evicted from Downing Street.

Oliver Lewis, dubbed Sonic for his alleged resemblance to computer game character Sonic the Hedgehog, gave up after the Prime Minister accused him of teaching against Michael Gove, reportedly based on information provided to him by Ms. Symonds .

Mr Lewis, who played a key role in the successful EU trade talks with Lord Frost, former chief negotiator for Brexit, had been appointed head of the new Union Unit 10 two weeks ago to counter demands for Scottish independence.

Other senior advisors are also close to resigning.

Dilyn is in the middle of the drama.

As the feuds escalate, negative stories about the dog’s behavior have emerged. A four-digit repair invoice for the damage was reportedly presented to Checkers yesterday to Mr. Johnson.

A source said, “I was at a meeting where Dilyn shot under the Prime Minister’s feet with an old book in her mouth. The Prime Minister shouted, “For God’s sake, I’ll get a £ 1,000 repair bill! Someone, please shoot that damn dog! ‘Fortunately, Carrie wasn’t there to hear him. ‘

They added, “I don’t think he meant it literally.”

Another story followed about ‘Dilyn’s Water Gate’ in which he put a leg over Adjutant Katy Lam’s handbag – which then left # 10.

It was reported that Ms. Symonds was “very angry” at Ms. Lam’s reaction.

A Downing Street spokesman said there was no evidence that their departure was related to the incident.

A Tory source pointed a finger at Mr. Cummings and attributed the hostility to a day of absence at the Prime Minister’s house in Buckinghamshire.

One said, “Cummings was talking to his friends when Dilyn ran up to him and mounted him, which made him absolutely angry. He raged when he tried to get the dog from him.

“Everyone laughed – and Dom doesn’t like being laughed at. After that, he’d grumble about poor Dilyn to anyone who would listen. ‘
