Editorial: The problem is that the guidelines the government drew up state that if any member of your household has symptoms of Covid-19, ‘do not leave your home for any reason’

says he acted reasonably and legally in leaving his London home to travel the length of England with his wife, who had coronavirus symptoms, and his son. Now it emerges that he went to Durham again after returning to work in London.

People in glass houses comes to mind; Stephen Kinnock travelling 150 miles for his dads birthday tea & Tahir Ali attending a funeral.... double standards? Let’s throw in some honesty about why you all really want to see the back of Mr Cummings

Retain the authority? Really? You think he has authority? Don't be daft.

Does Dom know something we dont?

davetenbob68 1/Only Cummings? 2/ Never cease to be amazed at how the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿monoglot bubble thinks the serially lying , racist, anti-Irish, sinister clown PM has any authority! (Certainly a credibility-free zone here, where thankfully he has no authority).

He’s so intent on being out so make him pick our fruit and veg for a week

There is one rule for them and one rule for the rest of those suckers...

UK government credibility totally questionable

NO PROBLEM THERE

Why?

l

Totally agree, this go to needs to have credibility which it does. It. Everyone recognised goby is very much style over substance and time is up now, we need to hear the word without excuses. The people deserve commitment and truth

Anti-government news and tweets are to Remainers as laser pointers are to cats! 😂

Spaffer hasn't got any authority & anyway, he's not going to push Cummings out - Cummings knows too much about him.

Without Cummings the PM is nothing. The PM would not be PM if it weren't for Cummings. It's probably Cummings advising the PM to stay mute, for he knows that the PM cannot handle being the PM. 🙄

Tag politicians or not? 🌹🙌🏾🦄

Cummings walks warily down the street With the brim pulled way down low Ain't no sound but his chicken feet Virus ready to go Are you ready, are you ready for this? hanging on to your parliamentary seat? Out of no10 the BS rips To the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust

He only made 2 or 3 trips to his elderly parents and possibly Barnard Castle at the height of his infection and in full knowledge of government rules and medical advice. Possibly made stops and interacted with how many? people directly and indirectly. What's all the fuss about?

Coronavirus: Grant Shapps defends Cummings over lockdown trip - BBC News36,675 people have now died in the UK after testing positive for coronavirus, government figures show - a rise of 282 The number of people tested has not been provided by the UK government, due to “technical difficulties” So by this logic, Cummings put his child at more risk, being in an enclosed space (his car) for the 260 mile journey...when the excuse being thrown out by the government to justify the journey is that he went on that same journey to safeguard that same child 🤷🏻‍♀️ Blackford is just a puppet for his boss Ms Krankie. 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.

Coronavirus updates as they happened: Grant Shapps defends Cummings over lockdown trip - BBC News36,675 people have now died in the UK after testing positive for coronavirus, government figures show - a rise of 282 The number of people tested has not been provided by the UK government, due to “technical difficulties” tomfrench85 Can see things are beginning to get back 'normal' - politicians spending their time looking for scandals about others rather than being constructive. Was great when no sniping going on. Did you not also return from your London flat to the island We're into late May and the BBC is still 'fraudcasting' a daily death toll which is still almost as flawed as it was when only counting hospital deaths. The majority of covid care home deaths happen to residents who were not tested and so cannot be declared covid +
