    It's straightforward enough. Neither of the couple who travelled to the Cotswolds are Govt special advisers. ;)

    Hang on Dennis, not everyone on the Spectator wants cummings gone, the commissioning editor mary wakefield doesn't, she wrote a lovely piece in april saying how her and dom were coping with the virus in london.
    She lied but heigh ho some of us can do whatever we damn well like in the lockdown.

    Well, I've read all the reports, about Dominic Cummings, and weighed up all the facts and I have to say I have concluded that the bluebells in Houghall Woods are indeed lovely at this time of year.

    I was reading Alex Massie's piece on Cummings and I'd forgotten that Cummings' wife was one of the editors at the Spectator. If their offices had been open, it would have made for an interesting discussion at the water fountain! I wonder why her piece on how her and hubby were dealing with the lock down didn't contain any reference to staying in Durham? Mmmm.

    yeh, I work in a hospital. after a day full of masks, gowns and visors whilst treating patients I've been doing my best to avoid idiots like you on social media - the days are stressful enough as it is right now.

    I think I’ll watch this one. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of route he takes with regards to Cummings. Sacked, apologies or bluster..I’m going with number 3.

    It will be interesting to see if the Mirror now comes forward with concrete evidence that Johnson claims is 'palpably false'.

    It’s over. Nobody will take any notice of what the Government says when it comes to the Coronavirus anymore.

    Sounds like the kind of song @Hoochy-Min@Hoochy-Min and @Skyebantam@Skyebantam could sing along to

    I’m stunned he’s gone with the double down option. Boris Johnson has forged a career of siding with the popular angle - and on this he’s just catastrophically failed to read the room, or the polling.

    It’s quite rare that you can watch someone’s public approval drop as they’re talking.

    Even with the next election five years away, you very much get the feeling this will be remembered.

    It isn't that Tony. It is that so many people have sacrificed so much, some including their lives, and we have people in power doing what the feck they like.

    My parents are in their 80s, they can't go out the house, have medical conditions and I've stayed 50 miles away from them because that was the right thing to do.

    Can you imagine if this was Keir Starmer we were discussing? He would be slaughtered by the Tory front bench.

    That said, I have respect for Tory politicians who are saying he has to go. This is about us sticking together as a nation.
