“You must obey lockdown rules or face a £10,000 fine & I’d call the police on my neighbour, no hesitation!” says @MattHancock who publicly gave full backing to #DominicCummings when he broke lockdown rules.
You don’t see much of this #Cummings interview.
Luckily I recorded it.

Asked why he didn’t tell the truth about his movements until it was exposed by @PippaCrerar & @DailyMirror, #DominicCummings
explains:
“I thought that If I start explaining things it will cause more confusion.”
Awkward thing, the truth, isn’t it Dom!

“I did not offer to resign. I did not think about resigning.” #DominicCummings
At the time, when I watched this live, I tweeted: “This question will end #Cummings’ political career”
It should have done
It is beyond comprehension how he was permitted to just carry on as normal.

Reading #DominicCummngs narrative as a work of fiction (which it is, even if it recounts true events) is interesting on a few counts, eg gender and agency 1/n
For most of the story the narrator stands alone, sole heroic agent. He alone is responsible for protecting "wife and child". "I decided" he says. 2/n
But at the point of the drive to Barnard Castle the female voice enters the story. The wife, not the narrator, is fearful. So "we decided" and even "we drove". 3/n
I’d like to point out how the tactics that are currently employed by Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings are those used by narcissistic abusers and how they are used to coercively control the public into believing them - a thread

gaslighting: This is when someone repeatedly replaces facts with falsehoods. They will repeat their story until you are convinced. They will recruit others to do this to ensure the message they have fed you is the same. These are sock puppets or flying monkeys.
Projection: They can’t accept their mistakes and so it must be someone else’s - look at the way the media is being blamed as well as the ambiguous guidance.

Why does no one say sorry any more? #DominicCummngs
And yes I'm sure no one else has been in a "very tricky situation" these past weeks #DominicCummngs
Offered the explicit chance to apologise and wangled it #DominicCummngs
Before #DominicCummngs graces us with his presence in the Rose Garden of Downing St, I wanted to show him and @BorisJohnson why we are so angry.
