A former government minister told Business Insider that several Conservative MPs had written to government whips expressing anger over the latest claims facing Cummings.
It emerged on Saturday that Cummings was allegedly spotted in Durham and the surrounding area on two more occasions a month later. A senior MP and former government minister told Business Insider that several Conservative MPs had written to government whips expressing anger over the latest claims facing Cummings and urging Johnson to take action.that Cummings and his family in late March drove to Durham, a city in northeast England, to be near his family, despite Cummings and his wife both having coronavirus symptoms.
However, Downing Street and several senior UK ministers lept to Cummings' defense, claiming that the UK's lockdown rules permit people with COVID-19 symptoms to leave their homes in exceptional circumstances.
He’s human, give the guy a break. I feel like this is all misdirected anger and frustration. Is Cummings really what this is all about? Feels like a witch hunt and that attitude could be destructive.
