To wonder if things would have been different if Dominic Cummings hadn't been chief advisor?

Given that we can't expect MPs to have a handle on everything, they do rely on information that is fed to them.

The issue is, how is that filtered?

what things do you mean?

Cummings was much more hawkish on early 'rona controls than BJ, for instance, and much keener on No Deal Brexit than most other advisors. Happy authoritarian I guess.

It's not unreasonable to wonder, but it's unreasonable to expect to know..

Boris Johnson appointed him. He knew exactly what he was getting.

Things would have been different if he had been sacked after the Barnard Castle visit. It would have been seen as taking observance of Covid 19 restrictions seriously.

Brexit yes
Covid no
