'We just went for a test drive.' Dominic Cummings has said the reason he and his family drove to Barnard Castle had 'nothing to do with' it being a beauty spot, he was just testing that he was well enough to drive back to London the following day.

He claimed he did not tell the prime minister about it - and that is the only aspect of this for which he expressed some regret.

Sad performance today from the media. When again will the press get another chance like put questions to Cummings? Never. And the big question: where and when did Dom stop for his kid to pee.

😂

Well he would do wouldn`t he?

Ask him about war crimes whilst he’s there 👍

Who cares what he thinks his mentality damaged

Fake News Sky and Alastair Campbell 😴

DC gave a complete explanation fgs give it a rest 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠😡😡😡😡

Poor Al, in lockdown fighting his demons. The hypocrisy is real though. The Spin doctor with dual responsibility for death of Dr David Kelly over WOMD fiasco.

Alastair Campbell should be in The Hague .... not on sky news

Going for a drive to see if it’s safe to drive is the best statement yet.

Just make sure any time you think your eyesight is impaired go for a 70 mile round trip!

Are you sure it wasn't 'Castle Barnard'?

And it was his wife’s birthday?

Having campbellclaret give his verdict on Cummings statement is a joke. He’s lied more than anyone iraqiwar WMD

campbellclaret

Wasn’t he Bliar’s advisor whe he invaded Iraq on a lie?

Bunter Boulton,alias the Cloned Warthog and, bitter and twisted Camp Bellend getting themselves in a right old lather, how the Camp Bellend has the front to call anyone a liar with CV

You morons at sky think that it’s a good idea to get an even worse government advisor on to moan about a particularly poor one !

Baying wolves...the press gathered round hoping to pressure mistakes from DC. The press seem to want respect. From whom and for what . Non is deserved based on this story which they admitted grew out of rumour. Then the press got hold of it

I think we have bigger things to worry about. It’s turning into a witch hunt.

Well there’s a surprise!!!!!

Why did no one ask ‘with citing the safety of your child being of paramount importance why then did u decide to take him on a test drive to see if your eyes were working?’

That old chestnut 🤨

most of the finger pointers here have also broke the rules
