in for a penny

Saj also chipping in

Sajid Javid, the former chancellor, has said “the journey made by Dominic Cummings to County Durham to isolate on his family estate was neither necessary nor justified”, the Bromsgrove Standard reports.

In a letter to his constituents, seen by the Standard, the Bromsgrove MP said the prime minister’s chief adviser should have made a full and frank apology for his actions.

Javid also said:

I remain unconvinced his visit to Barnard Castle could be considered reasonable.

I was also deeply concerned by his decision to return to Downing Street directly after coming into contact with a family member who was ill, potentially with coronavirus.

He stopped short of calling for Cummings to go, saying he thought it best to reserve judgement on his actions until “we were in possession of all the facts” and until he was given the opportunity to explain himself.
