Does resigning really matter here, they'll just bring him back before next election. Priti Patel had to resign in disgrace not so long ago but she's back now with even more significant role.
They probed a little but neither strike me as details journalists which is ironic with the government they're dealing with.
"So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time..."
I feel this has to be reiterated instantly for people who are out there backing Cummings.
Makes me wonder what other journo's think of these two.

Wonder what the PM will say later on today?
Johnson will be doing his Bruce Forsyth "didn't he do well" impression at the later press conference.
Piers Morgan who was the editor of a newspaper that printed on the front page that British troops were torturing Iraq prisoners, when in fact the pictures were taken inside a TA Centre.
I imagine he will consult his chief of staff.
Yeah he knows that he will get away with it. The mouthbreather Boris fans will either;
a) believe him or go into cognitive dissonance trying to defend him
b) love that he is sticking the finger up to the media
If they pay attention at all.
Its the new playbook in the English speaking world...
Why won't they ask him why he put his wife and kids in the car if he was worried about his vision?
Unfortunately, he had to use cash so no checking on bank records.
What an eloquent reply. Thanks.

Ive missed the questions, did no one really ask that? Flip me.
That was the biggest hole in his story
The two arent related. He's the only journo asking the tough questions throughout this mess.
Forgot about the bluffing scene at the start in this film:

The trip was on April 12th. Just coincidentally, that's his wife's birthday according to Wikipedia.
We drove down to Devon area about 18 months to go and I remember stopping at a service station twice. You're supposed to take breaks anyway. It's an insulting amount of bs.
I'd have more respect for him if he simply told us he broke the rules and so what?
This is no longer about Cummings.
We have a monumentally bad PM.

Nothing wrong with someone being questioned and probed and held to account, but when someone with Piers Morgan’s track record it’s nothing short of laughable. So yes it’s valid.
Probably need to curtail this soon. The ***** will start to feel sorry for him soon if they don’t already.
I think he’s waffled on for long enough that no one will ever want to hear about it again.
To be fair I would have done the same as him in the initial journey but the eye test drive is just bollocks.

Hi. I'm Dom. I have a farm with enough space for 3 detached properties and a wood, but not enough space to test if I can see while driving.
The rules said stay at home, Cummings. The rules did not say stay at home unless in the event you might need alternative child care!!!!
Dreadful questioning. How did no one ask why he went back to work after seeing his ill wife.
I don’t think he’s going anywhere unless there’s more information to come from the press.

Tbf he does seem to be telling the truth when he says that the rules didn't apply to him, it's just the reason he gave for that being the case is a lie.
Would have been much easier if he just apologized...
"I won't answer any questions as he has already done so for over an hour, despite journalists not having time in advance to tailor their questions to the statement that was made"
he did apologise for being late
Rubbish questions. Does he not have any extended family to provide care in London? If it was about security why is he driving to test his eyesight with his child in the vehicle? Why did he feel the need to drive all the way back to London when he can easily work remotely until guidelines were relaxed? Was his judgement impacted by the respective capabilities of hospitals in London and Durham to provide him with sufficient care if his condition worsened?
The only way Cummings will be toast is if it transpires that he did in fact use the services on his drive up to Durham.

The main conclusion I took from all that is that Boris is as incompetent as i already expected and that this boy is indeed the one operating the strings. BoJo is already a mess of a man, would actually be quite interesting to see how utterly atrocious he’d be without this boy at his side.
Holy whataboutism batman
Play your
Cummings credibilty. Higher that before or lower
British public "lower"
I know, now he’s going to get rinsed for ages about testing his eyes by driving with his family in the car.
Why couldn’t his wife drive?
Also such rubbish, oh my niece has offered to take care of the kids, well that means we have to go to Durham then. Why didn’t a journalist say ‘then why didn’t you say to your niece that driving cross country is against the lockdown and we will see alternate care here’.
