I’ve been contacted by almost 200 people in the last two days appalled by Dominic Cummings’ disregard for the Government lockdown rules.

Many people made huge sacrifices in order to stay home and protect the NHS, including some families who tragically did not see loved ones at the end of their lives.

Had everyone taken the selfish, arrogant attitude of Boris Johnson’s closest advisor, the outcome would have been far worse. Cummings is too dismissive to even see how upset and angry people are with his actions. I don’t know why Tory MPs are being made to publicly defend him, but this national emergency is not the time for spin or denial.
