Dominic Cummings is under fire for travelling 260 miles from London to Durham while Britons were being told to 'stay at home' at the end of March. This is the timeline as we understand it 👇 For more on this story visit:

He is expected to make his statement later on Monday afternoon in the rose garden, memorable for being the setting where David Cameron and Nick Clegg announced they were forming a coalition government in 2010.But it will come despite the code of conduct for special advisers stating they"must not take public part in political controversy, through any form of statement".

Steve Baker also told Sky News on Sunday:"We are now in a nonsense position, a pantomime position where it seems if you wish to apply a wide common-sense interpretation to the rules you can do, at least if you work in Number 10."

The guidance also states that one should report to their department leaders immediately if there is an apparant conflict of interest. So why didn’t DC tell Boris? Or is Boris lying and knew all along? borisout cummingsout

So he was defending his 'no rules or laws broken' statement by braking another code of conduct right on the nose to the entire country... And no one said anything about it... No wonder he thinks he is above everyone else... 🤣

I personally think the best parts of Cummings dribbled down his mother's legs ...

'He's wearing a shirt'

Democrats are very friendly with China, so if Biden takes office as the President, decoupling with China most likely won’t materialize. Not only Huawei, UK government should also promote ban of using any kind of Chinese so as to prevent leak of confidential data and invasion of personal information! Next step is to boycott all the made-in-China products! Yet the UK doesn't tell the UAE to take a hike for their extrajudicial killings and human rights abuse. Neither is Brazil, Israel and others a problem. The problem is the UK and US can no longer use China as their dumping grounds.
