A 'spad' is shorthand for the special advisers who work for British Members of Parliament.
In characteristic fashion, former Downing Street adviser Dominic Cummings â who waged a long guerrilla campaign against Mr Johnson and is reputed to be hoping for a return to Government if Mr Sunak wins the contest â has published some of the wilder claims on Twitter, writing that it would be 'very Westminster' for 'Boris to get the bullet cos of lies over sex/groping... only to be replaced by someone actually sh***ing their spad!'
