Visit our live blog for the latest updates:Mr Chada, head of the criminal defence department and partner at firm Hodge Jones and Allen, added: ‘I think that it means that the police are going to be very cautious about issuing fixed penalty notices , that clients are going to contest and that could result in more trials about ‘what is a reasonable excuse.’
Kirsty Brimelow QC is a leading criminal barrister at Doughty Street Chambers and has helped produce a guide to coronavirus offences designed to assist lawyers, police and the public alike. She said the enforcement of them requires a ‘degree of co-operation’, adding: ‘There also is a social contract where people respect and trust the institutions that had made the law.’But she said: ‘The difficulty is when that trust breaks down, people no longer see why they should play their part.
‘The justification put forward by Mr Cummings for breaching the Government’s own guidance – of which there is no doubt – undermines trust.
Not could But Should
Dominic Cummings will be releasing his how to parent during Covid_19 guide 1. Confine child in car with unknown amounts of the virus. 2 take child on a mystery ride while you take an eye test 3. Child’s bladders are massive so don’t stop your drive for 5 hours...
Maybe there needs to be a judicial challenge.
And rightly so. This week the PM has publicly condoned breaking the lockdown rules if you have any childcare worries whatsoever. And it’s right that you report on every single instance.
I knew this was gonna be used as an excuse and now people are gonna come across as hypocrites just like him
A client in court will say ‘ I read it in the Metro ‘ ...
A lawyer says he hadnt broken the law though
Oh pleeeeese
Good, children come first! The risks are minimal for children too, this is basically parents risking themselves for the sake of their children, as nature intended
Dominic Cummings is at waiting for the peaked R to drop. Meantime media interest in the story has plateaued. R Value = reporters talking about him. gettingawaywithit
And if they can evidence it, then no rules broken! Time to move on! Focus should be getting out of this COVID-19 shit show and think about how we get the country functioning again!

As PM that’s your job, show some leadership & sack him Yeah, we have BorisJohnson & so should you. How dare you not sack someone who shows such complete disregard for rules he helped to write & under which a nation has suffered so much - for what we knew to be the greater good. He clearly puts self first & as such cannot advise govt The man together with his wife & child were seriously ill, the child was hospitalised very poorly. If you think he did something wrong then u clearly have an agenda. Take a good in the mirror and see if you can see your humanity because it appears it might have disappeared.

Dominic Cummings defends breaking lockdown and says he feared for safety of wife and childDominic Cummings has said he broke lockdown rules by travelling to Durham because he feared for the safety of his wife and young son. More follows… Am in utter fury with this bloke. It was like listening to Donald Trump. Do you not get it? Your circumstances were any worse as opposed to a 13 year old that died & his family could not even visit to say goodbye? Are you f...... kidding me. The British public are mugs!! But not for the safety of anybody else . Drives a Discovery - 260 miles x 2 = 520 plus the other journeys. Lucky he had a full tank when he left. Wish my Discovery gave me that kind of mileage.

Dominic Cummings says he does not regret breaking lockdown by travelling to DurhamDominic Cummings has said he has no regrets about breaking the lockdown and driving to Durham after his wife had fallen ill with coronavirus, in a briefing at Downing Street. Making a statement in Tory Plebs are obdurate too He still had NO childcare when he was in Durham. Just shopping delivered by his sister. So I ask again why did he make the 250 mile trip? My mother is 73 she lives 25 miles from me, I'm terrified she gets ill, but do I get in my car NO, i do what I'm asked to ensure hers and other safety, I have not hugged her in three months, not only does this guy break the rules he knowingly transported the virus..

The troubling political calculations behind Cummings' decision to break lockdown rulesLockdown can be seen as a type of ‘public good’: we all benefit from an effective lockdown. But the strident support of Cummings shows us what Tory ministers really think about British people’s limited ability to do the right thing It’s a green light for everyone to break the lockdown rules. Johnson & Cummings lookdown their noses at the public during the lockdown; their own rules don't apply to themselves. They should immediately stop telling us how to behave. PM thinks he knows what a father's instincts are hahahahaha
