Dominic Cummings to make public statement this afternoon

Johnson stops questions about Cummings to the scientists on the grounds they are "political" - he just doesn't get it does he. This matter has gone beyond politics and goes to the heart of whether guidelines will be adhered to in the same way as they were before. There was a poll showing that 55% of Conservative voters think Cummings should go - we cannot go through this pandemic with huge numbers of people thinking that the rules do not apply to those at the top and exactly the same would apply if there was a Labour government.

Luckily, or maybe not, you don’t have to worry about Boris and co, because its what Mark Drakeford says that matters.

This crosses national borders though. There are going to be people in Wales who take the "if it's good enough for Dominic Cummings, it's good enough for me" line and I can only hope that there will not be tragic consequences of such thinking - the people of the UK need to show they are better than those who govern us and their cronies, although I accept that's a low bar I've set.
