News breaking tonight that Dominic Cummings and his wife, when ill with Covid-19, put their child in the car and drove 260 miles from London to Durham so that they could isolate at his parent's place and his parents look after the child. This happened some time after 27th March. Remember lockdown was imposed on 23rd March.

Seen in his parent's garden with his child on 5th April.

Neil Fergusson resigned because his lover visited his house after lockdown.

Scotland's Chief Medical Officer had to resign after visiting her second home twice after lockdown.

Cummings and his wife drive 260 miles to stay with his parents (who must be in their 60s at the very least)... What will he do?

Story is in most of the MSM now.

It didn’t cross his mind that driving to Barnard Castle wasn’t a good idea (or was adhering to government guidelines) and yet this is a man whose judgement the PM relies on. When his wife showed symptoms the rules were that he then had to self isolate in his London home. None of this adds up. And he is incapable of apologising.

No Elliegran he went to Barnard Castle a nice place by a river.

Yes EllanVannin trial by media. It's disgusting. He was obviously trying to do his best in a very difficult situation. He was not joyriding to the beach as soon many have done.

EllanVannin Mon 25-May-20 17:25:40

It depends what he's got on BJ. We don't know do we ? He sounds as though he shielding someone. I wouldn't, no matter what it was worth.

EllanVannin we don't know. If you lived in County Durham or any of the other places he might have been and spread the virus you might be wondering where it came from. He really is just a pathetic liar. All he had to do was say sorry and he could have turned public opinion but he thinks he's above the law. Can't believe he said it's his job to decide what the PM knows about. No it F isn't he's an unelected assistant. He is there to help not to decide what matters and what doesn't.

Thank god for the media. All of them.

Yet again media hype looking for a story and now everyone is in an emotion turmoil. In the bigger scheme of things does it really matter! One man drives back home to look after wife and 4 year old child. This is why I don't watch, read or listen to the news anymore.

EllanVannin Mon 25-May-20 17:19:24

Trial by media, eh ? Bloody shocking !

Whitewavemark2 Mon 25-May-20 17:18:45

I can’t believe that half the Tory party is frightened of this gibbering idiot.

EllanVannin Mon 25-May-20 17:18:16

Who was it he murdered ? All we're missing is a QC leaping from behind that tree.

But he must be hating the interrogation.

Galaxy Mon 25-May-20 17:16:07

The press know something else about his wife. Robert Pestons questions were largely about his wife's movements.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 25-May-20 17:15:02

Oh well he’s gone.

The question is how will Johnson manage now?

silverlining48 Mon 25-May-20 17:15:01

Cummings...Je ne regrete rien.

MayBee70 Mon 25-May-20 17:13:37

Can his wife not drive?

Whitewavemark2 Mon 25-May-20 17:13:22

We are now totally unclear whether his wife had covid or not?

trisher Mon 25-May-20 17:12:54

Oh come on it's just getting funny! grin

GrannyGravy13 Mon 25-May-20 17:12:03

Having seen the press hounds barricading his house none of them social distancing, harassing him whilst he had his young son in his arms........I would be in my car and straight back to Durham.

trisher Mon 25-May-20 17:11:54

So worried about his driving he took his wife and child on a car journey! The man isn't just a bad liar he can't even make up a good story! Endangering all his family!

Whitewavemark2 Mon 25-May-20 17:11:29

Doesn’t his wife drive?

growstuff Mon 25-May-20 17:11:13

And he knows how many suckers there are! That's why he's successful at what he does.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 25-May-20 17:10:44

He’s a goner

Whitewavemark2 Mon 25-May-20 17:10:29

????merlot
