Boris Johnson stops his top scientific and medical advisers from answering a question from the BBC about Dominic Cummings, calling it an 'unfair and unnecessary attempt to ask a political question'. More on this story here:

Grandparents can see their families for the first time in months.

But yet again the Downing Street news conference was dominated by tricky questions about Dominic Cummings's journeys around the North East.

Well said Boris that’s all it ever was “a political argument “

Well they never stopped them asking that woman medical advisor questions about ‘exceptional circumstances’ for isolation etc !!

It’s a public health question in a major pandemic !! Why should the medical advisors not allowed to answer? Because they don’t want to say what the majority of people think!! This government have not got a clue !! The only thing they do know is that they can break the rules!😡

And rightly so

Why do people start on with free speech and dictatorship. As a boss if I made a shitty decision and the media asked my staff who have nothing to do with it, I’d protect them also. It’s not for them to be dragged in, it’s down to Boris. That’s not suppressing free speech

OwenJones84 Them should feel insulted, that Boris doesn't think they are capable of answering in a medical ans scientific manner

Nicely packed crap story

daidavies1969 No just a question he didn't want them to answer pure and simple.

The correct response.

The hole that DominicCummings is digging for himself just keeps getting bigger. It will be a big mistake to spin the story further, it's time to fess up.

Stop the bad press and start backing our goverment!!! You are bringing the public down.

We have to call him out for this kind of behaviour ! This is a democracy, not an autocracy (yet !) and questions demand answers!

OwenJones84 These useless and dangerous Politicians like Johnson Cummings Hancock should stay out of the medical briefings. The government has failed to manage this catastrophe. I think the NHS and public health services are the best people to sort out the Tory mess.TestTrackAndTrace

OwenJones84 BJ/ Ministers always maintained the science has informed the political decisions made resulting in the guidance & legal regs. Cummings defied those, ergo the science so they can comment on his actions riding roughshod over the science and the consequences.

Skynews on a witch hunt.

Have it! Time to move on!!

Boris was correct to do so. Your hacks tried to jeopardise the scientists' position, the actions of ScumMedia

Thats should not be allowed. Hope the papers report on this too

Headline: Journalist waists question.

krishgm Orwellian, it's getting really scary

OwenJones84 The Supreme Leader must be obeyed.

This has been happening from the outset.

OwenJones84 Out right fascism in England is excuted with such complacency and politeness. Quite terrifying.

Bore off snake

What is up with these people... continually bleating on... get over it.. Boris has a massive majority and a 5 year term..he is probably as powerful as he is ever going to be, they can’t lay a glove in him and he is going nowhere...🤦🏻‍♂️

I have a question: Do you... A - Die WITH a virus? B - Die FROM a viral infection?

krishgm

krishgm Ah yes. Imagine wanting the message of your scientific advisers not to be undermined soooooo much that you are quite happy to have your boss undermine this message. I see. LiarJohnson CruellaPatel ToryVermin

Tory anger at Dominic Cummings grows as dozens of MPs defy Boris JohnsonAlmost 60 MPs break ranks to criticise PM’s chief of staff, with 43 calling for him to quit or be sacked Keep emailing your MP about the Cummings affair. We actually don’t want it to fade away. MPs quote their emails. 'Cummings took his family on a 60-mile round trip to a beauty spot in Barnard Castle, which he says was to test whether his eyesight was good enough' I mean FFS. How gullible do you have to be to believe this crap 🤣. The Tories were up in arms when Catherine Calderwood, Scottish Minster for Health broke the lock down rules. She subsequently resigned (or was pushed?) It's evident that the Tories don't want those same rules applied to Cummings. Epitome of hypocrisy!
