Is this in the current climate the most important thing that the government should be taking questions on?

I'd love for the time being for political point scoring to be left on the back burner but between opposition mps and the press (large amount of which have asked about 2 valuable questions between them during these daily conferences) then there is no chance of that.

He may be gutless, but it isn't because of not being overly enthused with questions on Cummings and the inevitable twisting of everything he would say anyway. I'd far prefer to believe he has more important things to be doing.

Should Cummings himself step down? Yes of course. Does it need to dominate the media for the next couple of days? No.
It is certainly not overblown, what he did was totally reckless and from someone with supposed intelligence, criminal.
