Very convenient change of message from Durham Police.

Inconvenient for many.

Surely this is a no-brainer. Mr Cummings is beyond redemption.

more contempt for british public. this delay is doing him even less favours.

here we go

Doesn't look dressed for a resignation

If you are going to resign you don't want to look like a tramp. Don't think he will though.

the dog ate  my homework

whats the noise ? gallows being built ?

The ship leaving for Australia is telling him to hurry up.

Some bloke with a zuzuvela but he hasn't managed to learn a tune yet...

so his wife had symptoms, then he went into work to see the PM

nice

did the government not say was isolating in london ?

They didn't say when asked

Are all these relevant? I'd be more interested in why exposing the public in their journey up north.

he's got a good  memory

He was at the castle.

do they really think we are this stupid?

i couldnt see so i went for a test drive!!! classic comedy

Yes, and by and large, we are...

think its best they can concoct

This should draw a line under it except for the extreme haters.

They will unfortunately always exist.

He's not infected or has taken precaution not to infect anyone; he was near the castle but did not go into the castle. That was alright then, Jose.

His statement lacked detail.

lol, Laura first

He's still not regretting, and against public perception. Adamant what he did was the best option.

softball

So as expected, "Non, je ne regrette rien"

his laddie didnt want a p1ss from london to durham but couldnt hold it in from barnard castle to durham!

What I think is he'd lacking the ability to make a judgement within the criteria of government advice and instruction - that's what I think. But, of course hime being him - he disagrees.

He should have been in the shade like Cowell

It's not good, but we all need to move on.
But it also needs to be recognised that there will be a lasting negative perception.

Anyone who listened to all that properly and still has an issue with it has no heart

No heart? None for the advisor who formulated and agreed to the lockdown.

Just how far was your tongue planted in to your cheek as you typed that

why didnt the spectator article his wife wrote give any of these details?

Any questions from the BAME correspondent?

Horse and Hounds?

Fly fishing?

no heart for a liar

What complaints do the haters still have?

We were out for a test drive

Makes sense. Rather than go from zero to a five drive.

An apology and admit he's been a pillock.He should have stayed in London and care child planned.

going into work with symptoms, where very important people work seems pretty bad too

Media are being absolutely vile.

anyone supportive of the Tories cannot complaint about media treatment deemed to be vile

So what were the “palpably false” accusations that Johnson spoke of yesterday ?

?

Returning to Durham.

That's one.

garden rescue has been cancelled

The asking questions man now is a disgrace. So rude.

This journo wants to be make his mark...

Who is he again?

Gary Gibbons, C4

Who is this moron media guy now. So aggressive.

nasty questions

Ask what you like. But they are extremely aggressive.

jason groves i think

Jason Groves, Blue Rinse Daily Mail

when you are getting fed bullshit, that is what needs to be done

kid doesnt need a wee driving from london to durham but does on a small journey

entitled, exceptional, no contrition, no empathy.

he makes prince andrew look convincing

The media are the ones who appear to have published fake stories.

But surely even the enemies of Dominic must realise by now he is not going anywhere

i'd definitely need a wee in that 4 hours

One case of mistaken identity. Factually correct with everything else.

was very unlikely for sure

I thought the media claimed he returned back up north a second and even a third time.

Does his wife not drive ?

True. That article in the Spectator by Cummings' wife describing lockdown in London was a work of pure fantasy.

It absolutely crazy the media clutching at straws now.

When will these journos realise the words "I regret" are not part of Dom's dialogue. Ever.

Can someone please ask Cummings why his wife wrote a Spectator article about their coronavirus battles but never mentioned their desperate dash to Durham & strongly implied they were in London the whole time. If they knew what they did was within the rules, why not mention it?

he just cannot say sorry, edith piaf defence for sure.

complete fairy tales

so you think one of you might have covid so the natural thing to do is pile into a car and drive 5 hours to relatives? surely noone believes this nonsense

@jnpowell1

1. Confirms the story. 2. No contrition. 3. It’s all the media’s fault. Boris Johnson now owns this problem not Cummings.

What else do you think he was doing A_T?

Why was he really in Durham?

if you ever have eye problems, load up your family in to your car and go for a test drive

Exactly, why couldn't he have gone alone or why couldn't his wife have driven back to London ?

They knew they had to self-isolate so decided it would be nicer to do it on a country farm than the London town house

one of a couple gets covid synptoms so you immediately assume both you and your partner will be incapable of caring for your child. total BS

Happened to my daughter. Husband got Covid and in hospital. She has 2 nine month olds and had symptoms herself. She got family help as it is as protecting children takes precedence against stay home request.

He has at least managed to retain his composure, hasn't snapped yet.

he's played himself in, questions are essentially the same, just worded slighlty different .

Well this short-arsed woman really does have a chip on her shoulder, and an axe to grind.

Envy of him being fortunate to have someone and somewhere to go. Pathetic.  She needs a new career path.

Cummings is like the nightmare defence client who thinks he’s the cleverest person in court & no matter how strongly u advise him not to go into the witness box insists he can ‘clear all this mess up quickly’ while you sit with ur head in ur hands trying not to look at the jury.

Media just make stuff up

Cummings' successes came from the boosting of lies and trickery

Stay alert people. But no need to stay at home

Are you allowed to exercise judgement when you receive a call from a contact tracer ?

Happened to my daughter. Husband got Covid and in hospital.

neither of this couple were anywhere near needing hospital - in fact they were well enough for a very long journey. his story is nonsense

Now that ive wiped my eyes, can i say how brutal the press are.

He will have mums everywhere sending loving dad sympathy

I aint no Tory either..

So he spent 3 days writing it, waits half an hour for Durham Police to get their statement out just in case, and that's the best he can do?



I think if the Attorney General signed off on the idea that it's perfectly reasonable to drive - to a beauty spot - - on his wife's birthday - with a young child because you wanted to test your eyesight, then we may see some interesting legal arguments in the coming weeks and months. But to be clear though, it was simply to test his eyesight. Any links to the particular date and location are merely coincidental and you are heartless if you don't agree.

From the line of questioning adopted by the Daily Mail, it is reasonable to assume that they will continue with the assault.

I saw Boris Johson's conference today....telling us all to stick to the rules

He gives a difference conference to Cummings I assume?
