No 10’s Jewish chief of staff Dan Rosenfield resigned on Thursday as anger over the partygate row continues to engulf Boris Johnson’s leadership.
Mr Rosenfield, a former Treasury official who has also served as chair of World Jewish Relief, was one of five senior aides to resign over a 24-hour period this week.
Born in Manchester, the son of a dentist, he attended Manchester Grammar School, before studying European studies at University College London. A longstanding member of Alyth Synagogue, he was raised in RSY and also spent a year on a kibbutz in Israel.
The Times reported in December he was among senior officials to attend a lockdown Christmas quiz in December 2020, though Downing Street denied the allegation.
