Q-School Graduate
On 5th April, after being told by members of the public that Cummings had been seen in Durham, The Guardian asked Number 10 if it was true. No 10 refused to comment.
On 10th April, The Guardian asked again, and again No 10 refused to comment.
On Friday, The Guardian got the confirmation it needed from Durham Police. At 7pm they asked No 10 again. No 10 refused to comment, but by 8pm when the story broke, they had given Kuenssberg an off the record briefing in an attempt at damage limitation.
So it seems very likely that Johnson knew as far back as early April where Cummings was. The only surprise is he didn't get on the phone and tell him either get his backside down to London pdq, or failing that keep well out of sight. Dancing around his parents garden to Abba was certainly not a very bright idea.
