Boris Johnson just backed Dominic Cummings to the hilt – 23 furious responses

“I think #dominiccummimgs followed the instinct of every parent” Boris Johnson says. He deliberately misses the point. Across the country people didn’t follow their instinct to be with loved ones because they were told it was against the rules. One rule for us, another for them.

Forgive me if I don’t take lectures on the instincts of a father from a man who refuses to confirm his actual number of kids

I will not judge the Durham Tourist Board for using this to their advantage.
"Durham – you'd kill to get here"
"Durham – it's not technically illegal"
"Durham – a quick drive from London without traffic"
"Durham – so many Cummings!"
"Durham – to show your kids you care."

Remember those five minutes when everyone thought his illness would give him insight and moral authority

To all of us who have stayed at home and have followed the rules, Boris Johnson might as well have just spat in our faces.

If Dominic Cummings isn't gone by the end of today, @BorisJohnson is insulting every grieving relative I have had to call to explain why they can't visit their dying loved one in hospital. Every distraught family member not at a funeral. Every frontline carer risking their life.

Rules are made to be broken. Hard therefore not to conclude that lockdown is broken.
