During the back and forth, Cummings refused to answer questions about possible divisions in the country, instead accusing the reporter of asking "inane questions".

Cummings is the Chief Special Adviser to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who previously worked as the campaign director for the official campaign to withdraw the EU during the referendum campaign.
