He can't even start on time.

It's already been delayed by an hour, and still he's late.

MadeForThis · 25/05/2020 16:07

His time is obviously more important.

The80sweregreat · 25/05/2020 16:07

His late! No surprises eh?

Inoneminute · 25/05/2020 16:07

Yes, she did very well. I bet she's not asking the questions.

Can't believe he's keeping the nation waiting. OK, I do believe it but the sheer arrogance of the man

Clutterbugsmum · 25/05/2020 16:08

How the hell can Tom Harwood state that he stayed with in his family unit. In which case why did he need to travel.

The more they try to defend DC the bigger hole they dig.

Calyx72 · 25/05/2020 16:08

Getting angrier and angrier with this lateness and arrogance

Michelleoftheresistance · 25/05/2020 16:09

The only SEND exemptions I saw were in relation to more frequent exercise (when it was limited to once a day) and being able to travel further afield for exercise for SEND people.

Exactly. And in our area I remember this being questioned and having to wait for official confirmation that it was ok due to children with SEND riccochetting off the walls, attacking other family members and stimming like mad with the stress of being cooped up.

Also agree my first thought was certainly not all children with SEND can change their routine to nip off to Durham at the drop of a hat, nor handle 4 plus hours in the car, never mind when the driver's ill. There really was no issue for Cummings that some phonecalls and his wallet couldn't have sorted if he'd wanted to, I pointed out to my MP just how many families in such circumstances just got on with it despite how hard.

In Downing Street garden??? Who the fuck does he think he is indeed.

Thedogscollar · 25/05/2020 16:09

First question WHY ARE YOU LATE

The80sweregreat · 25/05/2020 16:10

The DS garden is nice this time of year.

Destinysdaughter · 25/05/2020 16:11

It's being called #cumgate on Twitter!

yogz1976 · 25/05/2020 16:11

he's keeping his public waiting..what a troll

Inoneminute · 25/05/2020 16:11

Perhaps he couldn't get childcare?

MerryInthechelseahotel · 25/05/2020 16:11

I beg your pardon. I never promised you a rose garden

Thedogscollar · 25/05/2020 16:11

Hair and makeup??? Grin

LonginesPrime · 25/05/2020 16:11

First question WHY ARE YOU LATE

Probably travelling down from Durham.

madroid · 25/05/2020 16:12

Hoping we'll all get too bored and not bother waiting....

or last minute attack of sanity and BJ is firing him.

BoingBoingyBoing · 25/05/2020 16:12

So he's breaking every fucking rule in the book by holding this press conference and he can't even be fucking bothered to turn up on time.

Fucking goblin faced cunt.

madroid · 25/05/2020 16:13

#cumgate Grin Love it!

Police have back tracked on their statement.

Is this what they were waiting for??

Inoneminute · 25/05/2020 16:13

Has he chickened out?

Mooserp · 25/05/2020 16:13

Can't believe the BBC reporter just mentioned that he may have gone to'a castle' 🙄

ineedaholidaynow · 25/05/2020 16:14

Surprise, surprise he is late. Making everyone wait, wielding his power

IHateCoronavirus · 25/05/2020 16:14

Very interesting that the police have backtracked Pre statement Hmm
