And in an article for The Critic magazine, he wrote:"Enormous political capital is being expended saving someone who has boasted of making decisions beyond his competence and who clearly broke at the very least the guidance which kept mums and dads at home, without childcare from their parents, and instead risked spreading the virus by travelling.

"Dominic Cummings must go before he does any more harm to the UK, the government, the prime minister, our institutions or the Conservative Party," he added. Since Mr Baker publicly called for Cummings to resign, several other Conservative MPs followed suit and came out to condemn the PM's chief aide.Dominic Cummings has a track record of believing that the rules don't apply to him and treating the scrutiny that should come to anyone in a position of authority with contempt. The government would be better without him.- While as a father and as a grandfather I fully appreciate Mr Cummings's desire to protect his child.

He wrote on Twitter:"Time for a formal address from the captain offering firm leadership, command & control to resolve setbacks, re-unite collective resolve & rebuild mission focus."By Rob Powell, political correspondentBackbench Tory MPs - some long-time critics of the controversial adviser, some not - are breaking ranks.

His messages are always delivered as 'telltale' or 'snitch' of a 'teachers pet'. He himself has no value gimp Maybe Boris now needs to resign he has defended the undefendable. Shocking from a PM not coming out to do this press conference, he need to go and now.

Boris Johnson under pressure to sack Dominic Cummings over lockdown breachPiers Morgan has led calls demanding Prime Minister Boris Johnson sack his chief aide Dominic Cummings after he travelled from London to Durham when he was self-isolating with coronavirus symptoms Good for him.
