Hey @MattHancock, will you be urging the police to get involved as you did with Neil Ferguson? Or is it one rule for your enemies and another for your friends? https://t.co/SigiOWPX7m

The choice facing @BorisJohnson tonight is a simple one

A. Sack Dominic Cummings

B. Express contempt for the British people who have sacrificed so much

Which will it be Prime Minister? https://t.co/ymbBCnyj0j

All I can think of is all those people who kept to the rules & didn’t say farewell or hold the hand of a dearly loved family member before they died nor attend their funeral. Govt has been consistent – do as we say not as we do. Arrogant & elitist #Cummings #Jenrick #COVIDー19 https://t.co/K9F9o1ctvX

First time for everything – could not agree more with JHB. The greatest fear of Coronavirus – infecting your parents. Painful but necessary to stay apart even when you have no symptoms. But Cummings not only turned up, he apparently used them for childcare. Different universes. https://t.co/zTWVpYteSf

Perhaps Cummings is employed as a cleaner by his parents

Whatever the source says this story should have led the @BBCNews at Ten. @neil_ferguson was shamed for breaking the lockdown. But when Dominic Cummings broke it – whatever the excuse – it's not a major story. BBC management are The Jellyfish. https://t.co/FwFBqd6UOo

No 10 won’t comment on Cummings but no chance at all this goes away – SNP and Lib Dems calling for him to go, plenty of restive Tory MPs and plenty of ministers who feel excluded by Vote Leave tribe in Downing St

I'm not usually one to pile on Laura Kuenssberg, but…why is she the one rebutting the story in the reply to tweets about this and not Number 10? https://t.co/kgKjh25ddg

The journalists defending Dom Cummings tonight are largely the same ones who get their stories from him. It’s how it works.

This is an account of how Dominic Cummings and his family coped with having the virus. It was written by Mary Wakefield, his wife. On re-reading in the current context it appears … inconsistent and disingenuous to say the least: https://t.co/som1cQGOjq

President Trump has begun questioning the official coronavirus death toll, suggesting the numbers, which have hurt his approval ratings and re-election prospects, are inflated. Experts say the death toll is probably far higher than what is publicly known.https://t.co/iLJQmM6Wkq

The Trump Administration's attacks on the press seek to paint journalists as "others." That this now extends to religion is disgusting. Many reporters are religious, but it shouldn't matter. The question that was being asked and that everyone should care about is one of safety. https://t.co/OHAUTmsQav

Think of how many small businesses could have been helped with the $47 million that went to private jet companies owned by wealthy Trump donors. It’s ridiculous.
