Dominic Cummings has accused senior political journalists of trying to ‘bury’ the story about an alleged Christmas party in Downing Street – because they were there 😳

Mr Cummings, who did not name any journalists, tweeted on Monday evening: ‘V unwise for No10 to lie about this but PM set the course of lying on covid in spring when he decided to start rewriting history, deny herd immunity plan etc. NB some lobbyIt comes as the government faced another day of questions about the gatherings – after mixed messages from ministers and Number 10 about the allegations.

Some observers have since suggested that there has been limited press coverage of the events, unlike the Barnard Castle incident Mr Cummings was involved in. Downing Street had previously failed to clarify what part of the original report it disputed and ministers had said that all rules had been followed, while seemingly not disputing that gatherings had taken place.It is unclear how Number 10 is defining what constitutes a ‘party’.

He has a point. The lack of press focus and scrutiny on the Tories and Boris Johnson in spite of multiple scandals (PPE, corruption, sleaze,…) and attacks on our democracy is mind blowing unless Johnson is spared as one of them

Susan5918 Imagine a country where just 1 person out of 70 million is suggesting that someone independent retrieves the CCTV footage and logs from Downing Street to prove it did, or didn't happen

Susan5918 10 Downing Street must have CCTV in every single public room, right? If so, the truth whether the infamous Covid Xmas Party happened or not can be solved in seconds The fact that it appears not one MP or journalist has suggested this shows how utterly useless they are
