Changing social bubbles

[PeanutbutterJam]

Ex dp hasn't seen our DSs for almost 3 weeks now as he has been blatanty ignoring lock down rules.
His girlfriend has been traveling approximately 1 hour to stay with him every weekend plus the odd night through the week.
So I decided it was best the children stay with me until he actually follows the rules and stops putting them and my family at risk.
He called yesterday to say the police have paid him a visit and basically blamed me for reporting him (I haven't by the way).
He has now said that instead of his mum been his support bubble, he has now changed it to his girlfriend which has upset our DSs as they were looking forward been able to visit her since we're not allowed a support bubble (I have a husband).

So my question is, his mum goes and looks after his dog during the day while he is at work. His dog is cate trained so she can't be left in that for the whole time he's at work. Can she actually do this if she isn't his support bubble anymore?

Reading back it seems like I'm just a jealous ex but seriously I'm not. I am struggling so much home schooling our children while looking after a toddler and been heavily pregnant.
My mental health has taken a huge hit but I follow the rules like everyone else to try and get this over with. I would kill to have a support bubble too as my husband works long hours but I don't and won't as its againt the rules.

If he is breaking the rules then hopefully he will stop now the police have paid a visit.

However his support bubble is a partner and you have a husband so he’s no better off than you surely. It’s not his fault you have more young children and another in the way in these difficult times. Presumably he can have access again now that he is following the rules

As long as he doesn’t mix with his mum she can do animal welfare calls.

You can't keep your children from seeing their father.

You have a husband, you don't need a support bubble. If your ex is single and lives alone he is allowed one. You do sound like you're being petty.

You can change bubbles but should act as a single household first in case symptoms appear that require isolation ( pic attached)

Seeing the other parent as long as not isolating is allowed.

Once your baby is here you can have a bubble until baby is one x

I'm really hoping he does start to follow the rules because as awful as it sounds, I need a little break. They also need a break from me too as apart from the odd walk round the block after school work, there's nothing else we can do.
@waxonwaxoff its not the fact he has a support bubble that bothers me, I'm happy single adults are able to have some support but when he was having two and one of them been from a different city, it didn't sit well with me when I am trying my hardest for our children for him to potentially mess it all up.

I mean as a single adult he is entitled to a support bubble, plus a childcare bubble when the kids are there. So he can have his girlfriend over and Gran can look after the kids when it's his contact time. I think she is allowed to walk the dog too but I may be wrong? He's probably bending the rules some, but it's not flagrant disregard. It's not throwing illegal raves in his basement or sleeping with every single person in a 50 mile radius.

He's probably seeing as many people as you, counting the new husband and kid (if I've got that right)

Legally you can't keep them away even if he was flagrantly disregarding the rules, though

His gf could be his support bubble.
His mother childcare and look after your dcs.

I wouldn't stop my ds going to his dad's.
However his dad has decided not to have him at the moment due to his line of work. And he lives an hour away

There's no pet care support bubble though, is there? So his mum is his support bubble. I strongly doubt he's thought this through at all. It sounds like he's just seeing people it's convenient to him to see, and to hell with it (as many people are). The supposed switch that leaves your kids unable to see their grandma just sounds like spite, tbh.
