DOMINIC Cummings failed to confirm Boris Johnson would abide by the law during a bizarre confrontation with a journalist.

Boris Johnson’s chief adviser also urged the public not to watch the news and appeared to grin when asked about the safety concerns of MPs.

Approached by Sky News Political Correspondent Lewis Goodall, Cummings suggests the Prime Minister may attempt to circumvent the Benn Act – designed to force the Government to seek a Brexit extension.

Johnson is legally required to send a letter to the EU asking for an extension to the proceedings if he cannot get a withdrawal agreement through Parliament before October 19.

Asked about the Government’s response to the legislation, Cummings says: “We’ll see what we do with the Benn Act when we get to the right date.”

Told MPs want to know exactly what the Prime Minister is planning to do with regards to writing the letter to the EU to seek a Brexit delay, Cummings says: “MPs want a lot of things.”

Cummings also denied having a “masterplan” for Brexit.

Zeroing in on a minor error by the Sky reporter, Cummings states: “You [journalists] say all sorts of things. You don’t know what you’re talking about. So everyone at home should know: don’t watch the news, because it’s almost all bullshit.”

Cummings’ latest outburst follows another public confrontation with a Labour MP.

Johnson’s chief adviser was approached by Karl Turner, who condemned the “appalling” rhetoric used by the PM and Cummings.

The MP revealed he had been subject to death threats.

Johnson has since refused to stop calling a the Benn Act the "surrender act".

The Conservative Party leader said it was "impoverishing political debate" if such descriptions could not be used.

The PM had already been pilloried this week for using aggressive rhetoric and claiming delivering Brexit was the best way to honour murdered parliamentarian Jo Cox.
