Durham is
Ferguson is
Laura Kuensburg is

But not Cummings. And he has been the main topic of conversation.

What's going on at Twitter?

It’s the same reason that Scunthorpe will never trend on twitter Grin

There are single parents of more than one child who have had Covid and had to battle on alone.

How come 2 adults cant cope with one even though he was well enough to drive several hundred miles?

Pathetic. Hypocrite of epic proportions.

Indeed, did not buy the press briefing at all today.

The press briefing said that parents could travel if a vulnerable person was at risk.

But they were well enough to drive 5 hours to Durham.
They were well enough not to need anything except groceries dropped off at the door.
This could have been achieved through Ocado or the wife's family who lives in London and could have dropped supplies off for them.

The whole thing does not add up.
The whole thing stinks.
And that does not even consider his second visit to Durham.

Oh give it a break, he is a human being who cares about his parents. Most human beings would react the same way in his situation

Yes, because taking your parents a nice dose of Covid is such a good way of showing you care. Some people are such tits.

And no need to travel so far anyway for childcare, as his wife has two siblings living close by in London.

because taking your parents a nice dose of Covid is such a good way of showing you care sorry, where is the evidence he had any physical contact with his parents?

How did they look after his child, who was presumably a seething hotbed of virus after spending five hours in a car with two infected people, without being exposed to it? That, remember, is the defence for the journey.

He'd want to avoid being seen.

Yeahhh, not so much...

New witnesses cast doubt on Dominic Cummings’s lockdown claims
www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/23/new-witnesses-cast-doubt-on-dominic-cummingss-lockdown-claims

A week earlier Cummings was seen by another witness in Barnard Castle on Easter Day, 30 miles away from Durham, the investigation found. The town, which takes its name from the English Heritage site at its centre, is a popular destination for days out.

Robin Lees, 70, a retired chemistry teacher from the town, says he saw Cummings and his family walking by the Tees before getting into a car around lunchtime on 12 April.
