I can understand his journey to his parents as not doing so is committing a cardinal sin worse than any political decision he'll ever have to make in the future, if he has one. But, journey to family "undeclared" home  in Hertfordshire whilst working in London on 2 separate occasions is taking the biscuit; he's not one for exercise.

I thought everyone of us in the present climate has to make some sort of sacrifice eg give up work due to "lockdown"; shop infrequently and only if necessary; short exercise outside once a day.

Yet this plonker has done none of that eg continue to work in London; drive to his "undeclared" family home; do Samaritan work for his parents; his constituency in Nottingham. So, what has he sacrificed during this "lockdown"? I understand he's a minister, but he's still gallivanting between London, his constituency in Nottingham and "family" home in Hertfordshire.

You won’t see Jenrick in front of lectern any time soon.

Seriously IT

Would you want that man to deliver food to your home?

Do you realise. Calderwood did not endanger anyone? Jendrick endangered his whole family

So you think that anyone that goes to work in an essential role e.g. running the government, NHS, delivery drivers and so on should not see their kids until this over?

Maybe you are right as anyone that leaves the home and goes back into to is endangering the household.

Clearly it makes perfect sense for Jenrick, his wife, and their three young daughters to live in the same property during the lockdown.
But what is their usual home ?

It has been reported that his wife works in London during the week, we don't know if his kids go to school in London.

If the kids do go to school in London, then he has taken them away from a hotspot and moved to a second home, something the good folks of Cornwall were requesting others not to do.

If his kids do not school in London, when does Jenrick and his wife ever see them ?

Disclose the full facts.

3 cabinet ministers plus their advisor have had the symptoms of Covid-19; Hancock'd recovered, Bojo's reportedly getting better and Gove in isolation. No news about the advisor DC, which means there's a weak link in the chain of government regards Covid-19 virus.

I'd expect ministers and others doing "essential" work be allowed to see their kids during lockdown. Nevertheless, it has to been kept to a minimal for fear of contracting the virus. If one is a member of the inner cabinet responsible for making the day-to-day decision about Covid-19 then probably not esp given 3 cabinet members have been struck down with the symptoms; the more exposure to unrelated people the more chance of getting the virus.

And, if the MP/cabinet minister is advising the public about the ways to minimise the chance of contracting Covid-19 like Mr Jenrick is then the answer will be no, "he must not gallivant from his work place to the family home everyday" for his own sake, his family's sake, the cabinet and people he'd be meeting in the coming days. If so, he ought to be working from home as much as possible.

I'm sure a better way could have been found.

Some doctors esp those treating Covid-19 patients have been living apart from their families so that they do not infect them; some hospital nurses on the frontline and carers in care homes have done the same too as far as I know. This is a sensible course of action.

And, I hope these NHS staff and carers who are risking their lives daily will as a token of appreciation for their sterling work in this health crisis a meaningful financial reward and a certificate to recognise the role they each play after this crisis.

He ought to have been more forthcoming given the scrutiny he'd be under given his role ie declared his home in Hertfordshire is his present family home and the London (declared) one prior to or since the lockdown. I also think he'd have asked his Party or a senior cabinet minister about his need to help out his parents when their local community is helping out too.

What he's done is giving the impression he'd do as he pleases because he's a minister. And, travelling to and from work to his family daily in Hertfordshire does not correlate with the advice he's been giving to the nation which is extremely naive given his brief.

micahel gove went on gmtv and was asked whether the children of split parents could move houses, he said 'you should not be moving children from home to home.” but he added there will be children with unique vulnerabilities and needs, where their situation may be different. half an hour later he went on the bbc to 'clarify' (because as a politician he couldnt just admit he got it wrong) that children could move between homes.

All he had to do was come out with a statement that displayed just a hint of contrition, story laid to rest.

cider thanks for that, i missed that bit. maybe looking for a story but not a leftist agenda, imo. you think differently.what about the pm and gove not understanding their own advice? if the government dont understand their own advice or if the rich (jenrick) have more acceptable reasons to move around then dont be surprised if the public are confused or think they can ignore the official advice.rolling news need headlines/stories   some people are morons


jolly, once one sees the left agenda in the mainstream media, one can't unsee it! I was never political at all until the majority of MPs in parliament at the time tried to overturn the referendum result. There are genuine people on the left side of politics, but they are swamped by the more vocal types that can't abide an opinion that differs from their own. I'm happy to debate anyone on any topic as long as they remain relatively civil.

Likely there have been times where the government and advisers haven't been able to follow the letter of all the guidance. They have been working for us though, it's not happened for selfish reasons. Mostly due to the ancient, antiquated nature of #10 and Westminster parliament where people are squeezed into limited spaces. Hindsight is a great thing and let's be honest, not many people thought the situation we're in now was a genuine prospect even a month ago. CV 19 is genuinely the silent and invisible killer.

the majority of MPs in parliament at the time tried to overturn the referendum result - that is a different subject but the current pm voted against leaving the eu twice and the current home secretary voted against leaving three times. in contrast hammond and gauke both voted to leave the eu four times but because they wanted parliament to have an appropriate amount of time to examine the final withdrawal bill they were purged from the conservative party. if the erg had voted en bloc the original withdrawal bill would have had enough votes to pass on the third attempt, the erg stopped brexit.

you started a thread or went on a thread where you said you liked cummings because he triggers lefties. a few weeks ago (before lock down but after some panic buying had occurred) kuenssberg reported that a government source had told her that london was to be locked down. this would undoubtedly have led to even more panic buying. the very next day when asked about this the pm said london would not be locked down. this was a reckless lie to spread, imo, whoever that government source was (usually its cummings) should have been sacked for spreading disinformation and charged with misfeasance in public office. this is a scandal yet the 'leftie' media have made nothing out of it.

there was a covid 19 thread on here that got deleted, i cant remember when it started but i think it was more than a month ago. the people on it expressing concern have been proved correct.

Although I'm happy to debate anything like I said, I don't really have any appetite to rehash the Brexit arguments again! Let's just say that my opinion is that the majority of MPs wanted to overturn the result of the referendum. I referenced that subject only because that is what sparked my interest in politics, not because I wanted to cover well worn arguments again.

Your second para is pure supposition. Apart from Kuenssberg reporting an apparent leak from an apparent unnamed source. The BBC is a public broadcaster anyway, has a duty of care and should not be reporting hearsay and speculation via unnamed 'government sources' in my view. I stand by my assertion that Cummings triggers the leftist mainstream media. Often by design I suspect.

I said not many people thought the situation we're in now was a genuine prospect even a month ago. The world markets started properly crashing on 5th March so I should correct that it was actually a little over a month ago. Time perception is a bit off key at the moment Happy

Maybe you would like to debate how come the Prime Minister, The Health Secretary and The Chief Medical Officer also the mother of Dorris’s unborn child all got the virus and today the Deputy Chief Medical Officer said do t bother wearing a mask becaus3 the benefits were unproven scientifically?

Should we listen to the people in charge?
