I doubt it - what makes you come to such a strong conclusion?

You’re reinforcing my point? Exactly he was only with his family so what difference does it make?

No because you're not understanding. I've already told you that what I had written is correct in the full context of the post. You keep splitting it down for some reason unbeknown to anyone.

It would only be incorrect if I hadn't of included that he stay at home were is wife was. But I did include it.

clearly you are on the the pop as that makes no sense.

What difference does it make? How is he fueling the car, what if he needed breakdown services or emergency services? Where did the child go? If you can't see why it was wrong then you've totally gone through the past 8 or so weeks not understanding what the simple message has been.

1. You don’t know if he refuelled the vehicle
2. He didn’t break down

I’m going to Ed i suggest you should too

Both parents don't need to be key workers to qualify for childcare. One will suffice. Mary Wakefield - that's Dominic Cummings' wife - is a journalist (The Spectator) so qualifies as a key worker.

Locked.

Everyone can go to bed, and come back calmer tomorrow.

Can you expand?

In other news:

- Five brave Conservative MPs call for Cummings to resign.
- Andrew Marr notes that you can either keep the lockdown poicy intact or you can keep Cummings, but you can't keep both.
- Piers Morgan suggests a less obvious person who might actually want Cummings to stay "if I were Keir Starmer, I’d probably prefer Cummings to cling on at this stage. He’d be a permanent No10 symbol of ‘one rule for us, another for you plebs’ which is incredibly damaging to any Govt, especially when lives are at stake."

I'll revisit this thread in the evening. Until then, stay safe.

Can't be bothered. You know exactly the loggerhead that lies between us and my view of the degree of snide you are deploying towards Cummings.

There he has a point. Irrespective of the truth, the damage is likely to have been done.

Know her do you? Intimate with the Cummings friends are you?

So you don’t think the Chief Advisor to the Prime Minister is involved in the effective delivery of the COVID-19 response?

OK....

Re the nurseries, they have children of senior Civil Servant (like Cummings) who work at Quarry House in Leeds, and they are classed as key workers; the Civil Servants, like Cummings, are involved in planning the tactical and strategic responses, in various departments, to the virus outbreak.

Ex-chairman of the European Research Group (ERG) Steve Baker told the BBC: "The country can't afford this nonsense, this pantomime, Dominic should go and we should move on and deal with things that matter in people's lives."

Tory Sir Roger Gale said there "cannot be one law for the prime minister's staff and another for everyone else".

Conservative MP Caroline Nokes tweeted: "There cannot be one rule for most of us and wriggle room for others."
Colleague Simon Hoare has called for Mr Cummings to "consider his position", Tory MP Damian Collins has said the government "would be better without him" and MP Craig Whittaker has said Mr Cummings' position "is untenable".
