Apparantly a man who look like Cummins was seen at Barnard Castle 30 miles from Durham with a woman and child.
The guy who saw him is a retired professional.
Apparently he made a note of the number plate. Interesting.
I wonder what will be in the newspapers tomorrow.
I'm a sceptic. If he thought that why didn't it come into the public domain at the time? Maybe he was 'reminded' of the number plate he saw later. Not a defence of him, I think he's a scummer, but I don't have any great faith in newspapers with a political axe to grind who ask thousands of people until they find one who 'remember's something that the paper may then pay to publish. I don't mean just in this case but very often for all kinds of reasons.
That said, I think Cummins should be sacked anyway, just for being himself, let alone doing anything so wrong and stupid.
Judging by everyone's refusal to answer when Johnson knew about Cummings' jaunt up north (including BJ himself today), that just screams that he knew from the beginning.
If that's the case - he can't fire Cummings because he'd be just as liable for allowing it to happen.
I don't think you can sack someone for supposedly being arrogant. Being hounded by the press like him, I might be the same.
On 23 March Boris gave his stay at home message. On 24 March Dr Harries, deputy chief medical officer, was asked a question by the press regarding what parents should do should do if they show symptoms and need childcare.
The answer was very much in line with what Dominic Cummings did, ie it was a reasonable excuse to visit family.
So maybe Boris is right in defending his actions
Harries spoke about parents not being able to provide care and seeking help. I believe The Cummins’ were able to look after their child throughout.
Surely every family where a member had symptoms potentially faced the prospect of not being able to provide care for young children depending on how the disease evolved. Fortunately it seems most cases are mild to moderate which is presumably why the government told people to stay at home as they thought most could cope.
I do realise that. But the longer these things take the more they appear to be 'manufactured' rather than a member of the public with just concerns going public as soon as he or she sees something wrong. Does it mean that the papers in question were suppressing the thing until it suited their bigger agenda?
None of which excuses him of course it just makes it smell a bit more politically motivated.
The hoops xsnaggle and lisvaneblue are junmping through your defend a **** like Cummings is admirable in its absurdity.
Boris is showing loyalty for what Cummings delivered for him , as a friend he's stating loyality , whilst others whisper in Dominic's ear to resign quietly .
House of Cards stuff .
I seem to remember Alistair Campbell delightful moments , and calls for his resignation , Campbell and Cummings are cut from the same cloth .
Oh if I had the same power, money , ability , I'd have done the same as Cummings and scarparped to a rural virus free world for my family .
Doesnt make it right just a self preservation thingy .
