A parent should have the right to choose who they want, in this case he chose his parents probably like any other parent of a young child would have and likely to have done so.

Whatever our views of having an exception for childcare, it did not exist when Dominic Cummings drove to Durham. No ifs, buts or maybes.

I care little for anything said or requested by the Labour party.
I must insist Dominic Cummings broke no rules or laws.

Surely you must agree he broke the following, even if you sympathised with him doing so?
“If you live with others and you are the first in the household to have symptoms of coronavirus, then you must stay at home for 7 days, but all other household members who remain well must stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days.”
The NHS advice also states that: “If you or someone you live with has symptoms of coronavirus: do not leave your home for any reason – if you need food or medicine, order it online or by phone, or ask someone to deliver it to your home; do not have visitors in your home – including friends and family; do any exercise at home – you can use your garden, if you have one.”
