It comes after Jonathan Van-Tam was asked a direct questions over Dominic Cummins during the daily press briefing.

Professor Robert West, a participant in the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours which advises SAGE, said:"Trust in authority telling you to do things is very important when it comes to people adhering to those rules."This is going to become even more important as we move to a situation where it's not everybody having to do it; it's people who have drawn the short straw.

said Mr Cummings may have committed"a minor breach" of lockdown rules but will face no further action.

Boris made the serious error not sacking DC .. people will do as they see fit not what he says

He isn’t going anywhere their won’t be a extension to the brexit negotiations that’s what people really want and they think he is in the way. Sorry we have waited long enough end of year we walk deal or no deal isn’t democracy great 👍🏻

No...he was telling us to obey the rules...as Cummings did! skypapers

Should our useless press pack also be compelled to ignore people who make things up? See today’s mail on Sunday for reference.

If professor Van-Tam wanted to mention Cummings he would have. Instead he said All as unlike biased media he knows many others actually broke the rules.

And he is right. MOVE ON

scummedia

And in other news ScumMedia

The government are a joke we dont know where we are and we will be blamed for the second spik

All he has to is sack him

Bloody pathetic Sky, first of all he only travelled to BC and back so hardly the crime of the century and not stopped by police, so all that’s needed is a slapped wrist

Why don’t you give it a rest , I’ve watched sky news for years,but no more, not hounding the Scottish mp who drove 600 miles from home disgusting

Yawn

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Stay Alert!

its official you have bored people to death with the story

That's probably the last we'll see of Mr Van-Tam.

ScumMedia

It would be really handy if you lot moved onto another story now.. this is well past it's use by date & it's begining to stick up my tv.

currdian

Just dull!! Same sh*t from sky new Just a different day.

Tedious media

Fake news ScumMedia

why is no-one questioning the actions of ianblackford. He is an elected MP. His trip to Sky, isolation AND non essential journeys around Skye are all potential breaches. Yet not a word. 1) Where did he self isolate? 2) Were visits to Broadford and CullinFM essential?

And Stephen kinnock?

Though JVT was good today. Very balanced and was clearly talking to us all not just about DC

And hes rigth thats y dc was cleared by the police had proof on his phone he never went back so stop the with hunt

Good man. Well said

Boring....

And still the media go on and on. Whilst everyone else has literally moved on...

Fake news again he never mention Cummings name you liberal elite lefty’s need to be sorted Cummins did nothing wroung

Just walked through my local park. 12 men playing basketball, group of 10 youths on bikes & 8 others sat boozing. It's not until Monday that groups of 6 are allowed. It's a farce. Van Tam, Whitty & Vallance also spoke of caution. Too late. Horse bolted & SecondWave incoming

Accept they don’t do they? Especially when the PM uses his power to protect him.

LET IT GO SKY.. YOU DIDN’T GET THE GUY FIRED.. YOU LOST LET IT GO

Really ?

What he meant to say is they should apply to every one but Cummings is a moron who writes his own rules..well that's what my instincts tell me

Absolutely ridiculous him remaining during lockdown measures. How can you expect others to follow rules if senior advisers don't. Could've been feasible for him to return after lockdown and things have calmed down but staying on in his position during this time is just silly

Nah, I’ve been out all day getting an eye test. 👍

Yes but he was referring to Ianblackford_MP and jeremycorbyn

Sean-claud van tam vs Cummings

They do ?

Oh Sky ...how about having a look at that peaceful march in London

They want the scientists to be complicit in their murderous mistakes and decisions. They’re not having it

You guys are obsessed

Not the labour party tho 🤔

Ah but they don’t

lol

dropit moveon

Don't care didn't ask drama as usual
