If it's the truth then Johnson is justified in supporting his man and his actions.
Isn't the criticism of Cummings about his interpretation of the rules being against the spirit of the rules and not about the veracity of his account?
That's a good question! For what it's worth my take is that before the con it WAS about breaking the spirit.
But IMO he did enough to make it at least arguable that he didn't break the spirit.
But if he's told porkies he'll get his just desserts.
You thirsty and hungry mate?

@Victor-Meldrew Indeed.
Only time will tell if he gets to learn from his mistakes, right his wrongs and lead the country out of this.
At this point in time the chances of this looks extremely slim. It's staggering that he doesn't seem to be able to see that Cummings has to go for this to happen.
As much as I admire his middle finger to the media ... it's not sustainable to start a war with them. Despite what Trump has shown.

First ministerial resignation, albeit a junior one.

And, when he had the chance to keep Cummings, via an inquiry/review he didn't take it

Both IMHO, and I suspect others.

What happened to the Scottish Medical advisor who broke her own rules? Did she resign or get fired?

Backed by Sturgeon but ended up quitting anyway.

The guy drove hundreds of miles across country during what was in effect a lock down no? And he and his wife were suspected Covid19 cases? He should be gone, the optics are terrible

But whoever's been giving BoJo advice on dealing with the press ought to be polishing his CV.
Looks like this Guardian & Mirror journalist could be out of a job as well.....

@Victor-Meldrew He's actually a freelancer, though has written for the Grauniad and the Mirror. You'd hope no longer though. What an appalling person.

If ever there was a case of taking one to know one, this gentleman seems to fit the bill.

@Bones said in Coronavirus - UK:
So I've just caught the end of a BBC piece where they were talking about the testing being well short of the 200k target "set" by BoJo.
Is it me who's dumb in assuming that was capacity, or is it them?
BoJo was shooting from the hip. Hancock screwed up his face at the point he said it.

Didn't they do 170-180k a week ago?

I only have one problem with Gove.
He's the only politician I know who can lose an argument before he's opened his mouth.
