He will be gone in the next couple of days .
Schapps and Harris were hung out to dry answering questions about him and you can be assured off camera he/she will be making it known to Boris and the rest of the cabinet that his position is untenable and he must be sacrificed or every briefing will be derailed until such time as he resigns

Found the briefing rather informative myself. I can travel to relatives if I require support.

And if we all do it we will be back in lockdown
Just because a few have been dicks doesn't mean we all have to be dicks

And if you have a camera you don't have to socially distance. I don't like the look of Cummings, he appears to be an arrogant **** but I would think all the ones outraged are either Labour MPs or the twats who flooded to the beaches this week

Only travel during lockdown if there is an 'extreme risk to life'

Dr Jenny Harries refused to comment when asked if Dominic Cummings's actions undermine the "stay at home" message.

She told the press conference: "In relation to the advice to the public, it's absolutely clear that public health guidance is, if you're symptomatic you stay at home, take yourself out of society as quickly as you can with your family and stay there, unless there is extreme risk to life.

"That is a really important message, people have been really good at doing that, but it's vital that we continue to do that going forward.

Clarifying guidance about travel during lockdown, Dr Jenny Harries said it was "clear" someone with symptoms should self-isolate along with their family.

Dr Harries added that "built in" to all guidance to protect the vulnerable "there is always an element which says safeguarding".

She said: "So we don't want an elderly person sitting at home without their medication because they feel they can't come out."

Dr Harries said if there was a "safeguarding issue" where a child had "no support", that was also an issue.

"There's always a safeguarding clause in all of the advice," she said, adding: "The interpretation of that advice is probably for others.

Dr Harries said enough for us to know that Cummings broke the (then guidelines. It’s also clear that the Government licks and chooses which scientific advice it follows as it is entitled to do so.

Read your own links for god's sake,everything you say is misleading

Karen you just extract anything that fits your narrative regardless of what it is. If their modelling said there is likely to be a huge 2nd wave you'd be on here quicker than a rat up drainpipe to tell everyone. Modelling by its very nature can be inaccurate as we have seen from those predicting millions of deaths.
