No Twitter for me - and I don't allow cookies on my browser, + clear memory everytime I log off. So hopefully OK.

Amazing intervention in the house by Chukka Umuna, asking for clear information about Cumming's rôle, who is paying him, and whether all the rules about a Special Govt advisor NOT working for a particular party during working hours have been broken. Govt so far refusing to give such information.

Thanks Whitewavemark2. I'm not on twitter so would have missed this. I don't remember being asked about cookies on the Government site, shows how we sometimes just click through.

Thanks for this, Whitewavemark2. I must admit that I've always been ignorant about cookies, so will keep an eye open for permissions in future.

This is worth its own thread if you want to prevent Cummings from manipulating your data.

I’ve done it it is really easy.

If you want to make it more difficult for Dominic Cummings and The Charlatan to scrape data from Government sources to help them turn our democracy into a Turkey-on-the-Thames can I suggest you turn off cookies here? gov.uk/help/cookies
