Dear #DominicCummings. I hope you enjoyed seeing your parents. I haven’t seen mine for weeks. I hope your child enjoyed seeing their grandparents. I haven’t seen mine. They are now both dead. Covid 19 killed them. Please don’t clap on Thursday. Sincerely, a pissed off NHS worker

I love the fact that the spin the Government have gone for is “Dominic Cummings is a great family man” when what he did could have killed two members of his family.

Day 258 of Dominic Cummings story. Downing Street denies Cummings being patient zero. The Guardian and Mirror produce photos of him paying a bat to spit in his mouth.

If nothing else it reveals a stunning lack of empathy for the thousands of people who have stayed away from ill and dying relatives to say that Dominic Cummings did it because he *cares*.

Downing Street didn’t describe ‘campaigning newspapers’ by accident last night…
“One of the greatest advantages of the totalitarian elites of the twenties and thirties was to turn any statement of fact into a question of motive.”

The PM’s dilemma. Keeps Cummings: loses the trust of the nation. Sacks Cummings: Johnson goes back to what he always was, a furtive bag of nerve endings and purposeless muscles piled inside an ill-fitting politician costume.

If every family in London with young kids who thought a parent had the virus did what Cummings did, tens of thousands of us would have driven to family all over the U.K. What would that have done to the rate of infection across the country? #Marr #Cummings

To drop the snark for a moment, what’s extraordinary is that the UK govt would willingly undermine the vital public health messaging in the midsts of a pandemic which has killed 55,000 people and rising – just to save one wretched man’s job.
