Yes, he may well have got them added two weeks later after the press asked about his relocation to Durham.

How many people have access to guest houses or annexes? How would you write that into the rules in a simple manner? There are other examples where subsequent clarification and adjustment of the rules were made, eg maintenance of allotments counting as exercise, self-isolating and going into your garden. Technically even moving into an annex or guest house on the SAME property would be breaking the "rules" as it would still be another address. That is obviously absurd.
There was NO CONTACT with other people. The underlying principle behind the rules is to self-isolate the household from ALL others.
They maintained that principle. For the vast majority of people that would involve staying at home.
Although only a few instances have been exposed, from the number of positive tests from football players, they've been breaking lockdown on a large scale, having parties etc. After this amount of time in lockdown, they shouldn't be getting it.
