In all seriousness, those journies could have been for shopping for essentialls (thats how it will be spun anyway) so again no breach. you dont honestly believe he was "living it up" in Barney do you? There is no story here, just a media campaign against a diversive character.

Fucking hell pal, do you not think that both the Guardian and the Mirror would have run this past their solicitors a hundred times before going to print?
Cummings would sue the arse off both publications if there was no evidence.
As for twitter, libel laws apply there as well.
Also for twitter can you explain this for me then?

The Met turned up at Cummings house at 3pm this afternoon to talk to him....
I get your skepticism about Twitter but there's a Barrister (@barristersecret) who tweeted last night about how serious this matter is now claiming that senior cabinet ministers and also the attorney general had spent the day spreading false statements to the public.
Which means that they were part of the lie or lied to by the government.
Again, you wouldn't get a high profile Barrister tweeting like that whilst putting themselves at risk of libel.

This shitshow is serious.
Boris Johnson has said that Dominic Cummings acted “responsibly, legally and with integrity”.

Spineless, heartless cunts.
Just watched it.
He skirted round almost every question and avoided giving any real answers.
This is the start of the end for BJ, many of their own MP's are calling for Cummings to go. After today, if this continues or any more evidence comes to light then BJ's judgement will be question and he'll be gone before you know it.

They are taking the fucking piss.
Boris has clearly given Cummings the green light on travelling which means he'll be brought down with him if there was an investigation. He's trying to save his own skin with that ludicrous announcement.
Completely undermined their own strategy and message on the whole pandemic.
