They've shot their bolt because the Guvmin has stopped supplementary questions and you could see how miffed Kuenssberg was.
And to those on this thread who have said "Cummings broke the rules, end of" - or similar - it's no "end of" and you're being entirely political.

Seph, politics is political. Any law drafted by politicians around the word "reasonable" by its nature leaves interpretation open to the masses. That's literally how judgements would be made around any law that has the word in it. How would your bog standard average person interpret events.
The fact a majority don't consider his activity reasonable, including the police, demonstrates that his behaviour has been unreasonable. His lack of contrition is fuel to the fire.

Ah Civil Servants. There to do the Government's bidding.
Hopefully we remember that when it comes to blaming the politicians or the scientists when we have the inevitable Coronavirus inquiry as to how we have the most deaths per capita in the world despite substantial warning.
