British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's senior adviser Dominic Cummings acted reasonably by travelling to northern England during the coronavirus lockdown and is a man of integrity, Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said on Tuesday.

LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s senior adviser Dominic Cummings acted reasonably by travelling to northern England during the coronavirus lockdown and is a man of integrity, Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said on Tuesday.

Gove, a long-term ally of Cummings, said he did not break the letter of the government’s coronavirus lockdown guidelines and was simply trying to look after his wife and 4-year-old son. “Dominic completely understands the sense of concern people have felt as this story broke,” Gove told the BBC. “Most people will understand that he was under pressure and sought to put the health of his wife and son first.”Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge; editing by Kate Holton

Side affect of covid Wuhan virus- dictatorships

Et tu Brute

In a family of liars lying comes easily. Cumming's wife wrote an apparently totally fictitious article in The Spectator about their lockdown in London . This article was obviously a total fabrication . Which articles in Spectator can Spectator readers believe in the future?

This is like watching people pissing on you and telling you it’s raining

yeah, right FREE SCOTLAND~!

Forgetting to add the words 'like me'...

He also farts rainbows and can drive whilst partially blind

The liars joust on the graves of the victims!

from a coke snorting slug ..... great .... what did you think he would do, grow a spine and demand Cummings go? The slug would have to ask his wife if that was ok first.

Opportunistic sociopath gives character reference to psychopathic manipulator using words devoid of all meaning.

Did anyone check Gove's understanding of the meaning of these words though?

I've always wondered if artificial intelligence can understand sarcasm!!

Who’s going to defend michaelgove? So arrogant and elitist he doesn’t even know his own lockdown rules - you CANNOT drive to an exercise when Cummings did. No debate. Gove went on SkyNews and lied. This isn’t rumour - it’s evidenced.

Surely, that's a sign that, very soon, we'll see yet another

It would perhaps have helped if Dominic Cummings had talked with the head of the Civil Service before taking matters into his own hands. That would have been the 'reasonable' thing to do. He didn't do that and now BorisJohnson and the Conservatives are paying the price.

Sure he is, he's an absolute entitled goblin

Of course he would. Cove is spineless pos.

Pinocchio 🤥

UK faces political crisis after apparent lockdown breach from Boris Johnson's top advisorDominic Cummings defended his decision to travel 260 miles from London to Durham days after the U.K. went into lockdown. no the UK does NOT face a political crisis you US-centric permabull morons - Boris has a massive majority and another 4+ years term - end of your storyline This picture explains British politics. The husband of the liberal governor of Michigan also ignored his own wife’s stay at home orders. Seems she adjusted her own orders so she could visit her second home and get her boat in the water. But because she is a Democrat no one is calling it a political crisis.
