If they hold an enquiry then surely Cummings is gone and Boris and the Cabinet are left thoroughly embarrassed, or at least they should be.

The questions seem to be very straightforward.

Assuming that he actually needed to leave the house in the first place did he have any alternative but to travel 260 miles?

Who knew of his intention to take this action? If he didn't tell anyone in government why not?

How many other times did he break lockdown to travel to Durham?

Have his actions undermined the government message?

On the information out there he looks to be guilty of every charge.

I think this is Bojo's political basement decision he's ever made. To say it was done with instinct, responsibly, legally and with integrity made one cringed hearing it coming out of the mouth of the person who's supposedly guiding us out of this pandemic jungle.

If he plays the "I've got an autistic child" - and I think he will - then he will have sunk lower than I'd have thought possible...


Or is he going to throw himself on our mercy as the police have now said they are planning to investigate those sightings of him.  Nowhere to run now is there Dominic.
By:

When: 25 May 20 12:54
Why make his own statement? Could it be he's coming clean with sightings of him in a castle whilst in Durham? Just go quietly and disappear into the sewage like a vermin.

I understand he's the Prime Minister's chum and political advisor, but he's a nobody in the eyes of the public, and un-elected. Thus the advice and instruction given by the government and their health experts/advisors regards lockdown apply to him too - no exception whatsoever.

He needs to double down and declare the coronavirus a hoax, and he has instructed the PM that it should be business as usual for everyone tomorrow.

heres my prediction up to others if it makes any difference to their opinion  about the rules,

his son has a heath problem THE A WORD

they didn't  want to risk leaving him with stranger,s

he didn't explain his actions because didn't want to ,make his sons health public

not sure how that effects any of other sightings ,unless he,s fessing up before police out him

hoping for a bit of slack

if true how hard are media going to go on him

this was common knowledge last night would assume media have done some homework ,but still went full on today,

so who no,s

I don’t know much about him and to be honest what I have seen of him he wouldn’t be my cup of tea,but what if he is a major asset to the fortunes of this country ?


Would it does us any good long term if he was hounded out ?

sure would say a lot about the government if one key advisor is basically the only thing keeping the government running and not falling apart

apparently the whole story that his child is autistic was started by someone on Twitter who now deleted his account. the idea was to push this narrative about the mean lefties harassing the guy with the autistic kid

If he was instrumental in "managing" joe public expectation in this pandemic then it's best he goes given the 3rd rate performance of the government in tackling and containing Covid-19.

Mr Cummings has made a mickery of the rules governing lockdown, and must go otherwise a possible revolt on any further future lockdown. He's also making it nigh impossible for the police to act upon "blatant" abusers of lockdown who claim to be acting on "instincts".
