LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s close aide Dominic Cummings on Monday said he should have explained the circumstances of a 250 mile journey during lockdown earlier but that his decision to take the trip had not been a mistake. “In retrospect, it would have been better to set this out earlier on,” Cummings said after giving his account of the circumstances of the trip, adding that he believed he had acted reasonably even if other people would not have done the same.

“I’ve made mistakes in dealing with going way back to January... I don’t think that what I did in these 14 days was a mistake. I’ve certainly made a lot of other mistakes, I make mistakes every day.”Our Standards:

He shouldn’t have made the trip, that way no explanation required. Simple.

I would like to hear an explaination for that hairdo. Pick a lane guy.

This guy would be very popular in Trump administration. He should seriously be considered.

Delay in explanation not the problem, though, is it?

Maybe he should now put out a daily bulletin to save confusion. We could all stick one on the front gate for the nosy.

Cummings wife and Johnson both got COVID-19 before Cummings did... Just saying 🤔👀 It would explain why he wants to keep Cummings around though 😅😂

He finds it difficult to explain why he took a family holiday while telling the rest of the country to stay home.

He will do more than this if this is condoned.

If he never did it ! He would have no explaining to do.

The hose has bolted no good locking the door now

BorisJohnson should really, really, start distancing himself from Dominic Cummings, I believe, if he doesn't want to go down with the Cummings ship.
