The story has continued because it has not been killed by an apology or resignation. I've been consistent on this since my first post in this thread.
Cummins has continued to develop the story himself with the ridiculous eye test story on Sunday which I doubt you believe and by rewriting a blog post to make him look like the sage of CV-19. Conservative MPs have continued it by condemning him in emails to constituents.

You're really coming across as reasonable!

First, as you more or less observe, senior politicians are especially adept at truth minus or even downright lying. But I don't see why that should extend to their advisors because they keep in the background, mainly.

Second, yep - the eye test story is ridiculous. But, nevertheless, a minor infringement!
