Iain Blackford “it’s as clear as mud that Dominic Cummings has broken the rules”

Twice he’s said it in this interview, what an idiot! This is one of the SNP’s “big hitters” no wonder Nicola does all the briefings!

Well that's a matter of opinion. Personally I went from thinking Boris was a bit of a buffoon (preferred Jeremy Hunt) to being quite impressed with him early on in this crisis. I doubt there's a connection but since he was ill things have gone awry and he's way too absent for my liking.

Jeez, I'm fed up of seeing him all the time at the moment, he's always on TV and in the media, leading from the front just as a proper leader should be. I know this is a crisis and we are not handling it very well, but wouldn't it be good of him to may be step away from the spotlight a bit, and give one of his other cabinet minsters a chance to do these briefings? There is a danger of over exposure that he needs to be careful of.

So what so we expect, bluff and bluster to protect Cummings? Or will he do the right thing to try and rebuild trust in his government and their handling of the crisis?

You little tinker, you're being sarcastic again ?
Let's wait and see, seems the best plan.

Still wonder why they hung on for 2 months to bring this up and n this day of smartphones why no pictures of the second trip or the visit on the first trip aren't all over the media. There's a fortune out there for a happy snapper.

Think this has been answered a few posts back, the papers were trying to get comments from No 10 and were not able to. Then the police confirmed their story so they published.

As for it being captured on smart phones then may be there was hardly anyone out and about to capture it. As most people were following his governments advice to stay at home. Well I say most people, obviously there are a few exceptions who had a magic pass out.....

Not keen on him as a speaker, even when he makes salient points, the delivery is overcooked and always faux-offended/indignant tone. Shame Angus Robertson couldn't keep his seat, much better in Commons and in media imo. People get their words mixed up, we all do it but when you're in the public eye trying to score political points it falls very flat when any message, particularly delivered with intended 'oomph' through simile or metaphor, is muddled up.
Of others I quite like Humza Yousseff but he gets outmanouvered in political debates and I think they feel his ability is limited. Where's Stewart Hosie these days, decent communicator?
