You simply cannot have one law for one and one law for another as Niall Ferguson and Catherine Calderwood had to resign because they broke the rules so what makes Dominic Cummings different.
It is rank hypocrisy no if's, no but's, and no maybe's and the public who are not stupid will see it like that..

It undermines the whole effort to stop the virus spreading. If any doubts about following the rules are placed in people's minds - eg the Government doesn't follow its own advice so why should I? - then the R-rate will start rising and we'll have to return to a stricter lockdown.
What potentially makes Dominic Cummings different from Niall Ferguson and Catherine Calderwood is that Boris Johnson is dependent on Dominic Cummings.
He now needs to salvage Dominic Cummings' scant reputation by getting him to resign. Will he return like a bad penny? Doubtless, but Boris Johnson needs to send a clear message out to the country. And that message shouldn't be rules are just for little people.
