I'm really surprised that it hasn't gained wider circulation. there was a time that this kind of blatant attempt at deceiving the public would have been career ending

This could turn out to be the thing that destroys Cummings.

He may just avoid being sacked for the lockdown breaches if Johnson and Gove calculate that they can't do without him and they have already tied themselves together too tightly - but if he has been lying to the press and public as this suggests - about a relatively small side issue - he could be toast.

Jonathan Aitkin and Jeffrey Archer ended up in sacked and in gaol - not for the original wrongdoing, but for the way they lied and perjured themselves to spin their stories.
