He's guilty of protecting his child and that is all!!!

Cummings will be back, he's a talented guy but he's on his way out and your bravado won't alter the facts.
Breaking the law is not a good way to protect your child.

I'd follow the government and NHS guidelines. I wouldn't travel 250 miles.

As per usual it's believing crap written in gutter papers like the Mirror and guardian both absolute dire newspapers, have they produced any photos yet?

Is it any wonder the gutter press is less respected than politicians...

I think the recent letter from the Labour Party should help in this regard. Let's not forget that the Code of Conduct for Special Advisers states that advisers must “comply with the law and uphold the administration of justice.”

Did he break the law?

He has not broke the law, a retired police chief said this as early as today.

He is not on his way out!

He's staying put and so he should, he has done nothing wrong and nothing you say alters this.

Morgan is a dick.

No he didn't.

The law says it in black and white, you cannot leave your house during lockdown without a reasonable excuse, well he had a reasonable excuse.

Thats for matter of debate and not black and white. If he was well enough to drive 250 miles then their is an argument he didn't need to go.

Self isolation within a family Unit is perfectly correct.

Thinking ahead, Craig Phillips says he woukd put money on Celebrity Big brother returning next year. Perhaps this could be an opportunity for Dominic Cummings to redeem his career, assuming he is able to stay in one place for several weeks on end! :D

Either the police or No 10 are lying.

Talking to Cummings family is a bit different to actually talking to Mr Cummings himself.

If he did go a second time do you think he should be fired?
