UK coronavirus live: minister resigns over Dominic Cummings lockdown trip

In his resignation letter, Douglas Ross, a junior minister in Boris Johnson’s government, wrote: “I have never met Dominic Cummings so my judgement on this matter has always been open and I accept his statement on Monday afternoon clarified the actions he took in what he felt were the best interests of his family. However, these were decisions many others felt were not available to them.\nAs a father myself, my instinct is to always do what is best for my son and wife.

Who. Next please.

Hilarious bluffers. You can be certain he 'regrets' his marathon lockdown trip now. Enjoying this buffoonery.

I don't understand how he would put his son at risk by enclosing him in a car with his mum who was ill. The child ended up in hospital FGS. Thats child abuse. Was mum wearing a mask

Wind your necks in media. Have an honest look at the mob you have mobilised. We’re missing serious news around the world for this.

A Tory? With a spine? Surely not!

But again, is The Guardian going to apologise for last Saturday's completely untrue headline story about the police talking to Dominic Cummings about lockdown rules?

Nothing to do with his slender 513 majority over the SNP I presume.

no 10 is falling apart. time for Boris and Cummings to resign.

Wow👏🏼👏🏼

Has anyone checked how many MPs tweeted their support? I'd like to know how many didn't. Sadly my local MP was one of the sheep

Next he will be going back to the MSP

It should’ve been Dominic Cummings who resigned. He doesn’t deserve a place in the higher ranks of our government. He’s a fraud, a nuisance, and quite frankly a hypocrite.

So what? Politicians resign all the time. These nobodies won’t even make fish and chips wrappings.

In every democracy in the world the rules of law are different for the have & the have not, then, how are they any different from nondemocratic countries

Someone in the government has the dignity to defend what the likes of michaelgove so arrogantly and pretentiously can not do

What's up with these scotch people?

Are they making a film where hero Cummings saves his family by driving them out of disease epicentre

OxfordCityTory oh dear!

Britain is a laughing stock.

Is it possible that “Super Spreader Chief Covidiot” Johnson caught Covid-19 and infected Carrie, Cummings, Cum’s wife and Cum’s son? This shows how negligent he has been all along! Underperforming, responsible for tens of thousands of deaths across the UK.
