Carrie Symonds holds the 'real power in No 10', body language experts say: 'Dishevelled' Boris Johnson 'lacks any authority' while his fiancée is 'by far the most confident' and watches him like a 'naughty schoolboy'

Carrie Symonds has risen to hold ‘real power in No 10’ while her Prime Minister fiancé Boris Johnson has become ‘dishevelled and lacking in any signals of dignity or authority’.

Analysis of pictures and videos of the couple have shown a switch of authority between the pair, according to body language and relationship experts.

One told MailOnline today 'It’s as if the power balance in their relationship has reversed, which may well be spilling into Boris’s professional decision making as well'.

The stunning role switch was laid bare by a influence struggle in the heart of Downing Street last night as Ms Symonds apparently 'vetoed' key aide Lee Cain’s appointment as chief of staff and he resigned.

It was a far cry from the impression given at her earlier appearances with Mr Johnson, where she appeared less confident and deferred to her older partner.

And back on July 2019 when she lined up outside Downing Street with staff to welcome the new PM there was little hint of the power she would grow to wield.

But the couple’s more recent video together for an awards ceremony showed him ‘keeping an eye on him’ and displaying strength as he looked ‘like a naughty child’.

His run-down appearance at the recent Remembrance Day ceremony also sounded alarm bells.

If I were hanging with Carrie, I would also be tempted to be a naughty schoolboy.

It must be great fun being a body language expert. You can say whatever you want. And most people will just accept it.

I think I’ll give it a try. In some pictures Putin tilts his head slightly to one side. That means he is afraid of cows.

in the end it won’t matter, Boris will work things out among those trying to influence him. The big advantage he has over the PM’s of the previous ten years is that he has a comfortable majority in parliament, so another 4 years to go.

If Biden gets into the Oval Office, I suspect his wife will also be calling the shots while he struggles to remember what day it is.
