If you write the policy then you live by it. No excuses. No 'interpretations'.
Arrogance and duplicity with total disregard for the population who have followed the rules. Resignation should be the best outcome for him. Pity poor old Boris. His party might decide his usefulness is no longer required.

A bit strange that considering Borris had been confirmed with the virus at the same time that he wasn't tested |

This is Cumming’s explanation for the Barnard Castle trip. Read it and tell me that’s what you’d have done during lockdown when non-essential travel was illegal.
Btw, a lawyer definitely wrote that. I’ve seen plenty of lawyer-prepared statements during interviews under caution - that’s exactly the style that they all read like.

I think a few people on here are getting the wrong end of the stick about this whole discussion. The last few pages are not about arguing the fact that he felt he was doing the right thing for his family, irrelevant of whether his actions were illegal, I think everyone pretty much agrees with that no matter how ill conceived his choices were.
The reason for the last 10 pages is that he was obviously lying about at least a portion of what he came out with, has got caught out, refuses to apologise, and treats the majority of the people that he addresses, including the general public, with contempt because of it.
As I, and others have said a few times, admit that some decisions made were not the best, hold your hands up, apologise and move on.... the last 10 pages don’t happen. Lie (again) and take us for mugs and that is the type of response that you get, and rightly justified IMO. It’s turning into Trump more and more every day, keep on lying and eventually people start to believe and blindly follow... say fake news enough times and eventually people start to believe that stories are fake.
The people spoke and voted for these muppets to be in place, and now people are either backing them to the hilt or outraged, go figure.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
Who said that?

However you feel about Cummings (he's a cunt) it's all just a distraction (no necessarily deliberate - that would require more competency than I'll give them credit for) isn't it. He's underminded any social distancing we had left, but that's what they were doing deliberately anyway. Bending some lockdown rules is a fairly minor crime when compared to the tens of thousands of extra deaths due to the handling of COVID. String up Johnson, Cummings and the rest of the cabinet for that, not one of them being a prick and driving to Durham.
Or both.

I Actually watched the questions last night, I thought it was a complete disaster. Every question he avoided, mumbled a load of gibberish, praised the questioner, then said wash your hands to most of them. He's unraveling by the day.

The guy has served the country well by providing good advice including how to successful conclude the debate for the UK to leave the EU. Put your petty party politics aside. He should stay for the good of the country.

I watched the whole presentation, and was disgusted with Cummings arrogance and lack of empathy. I think someone described him as 'an ambitious psycopath', and I think that fits him well.
