Dominic Cummings, coronavirus and lockdown – a timeline | The Guardian
“Cummings himself wrote: “At the end of March and for the first two weeks of April I was ill, so we were both shut in together.”
Let’s put that timeline together with Gov Guidance theguardian.com/world/2020/may…

Lockdown was 23rd March. No driving g around the country for ordinary folks.

The dash home was on a Friday and Dom got sick “over the weekend”, according to Downing Street.
By 31st March Durham Constabulary confirmed that “the individual in question was self isolating”
So he and Mary and son must have driven up somewhere between Sat 28th and Tues 31st

Well that is in breach of lockdown
But also very specifically in breach of Gov instructions (Johnson’s words) to stay at home
Particularly if symptomatic ALL members of the household should stay at home and NOT LEAVE FOR 14 DAYS.
In breach of that too

Writing about her husband’s condition, his wife Mary Wakefield said: “Dom couldn’t get out of bed. Day in, day out for 10 days he lay doggo with a high fever and spasms.
Yet on 5th April he was out in the garden with his son running around to ABBA.
That isn’t even 10 days

And, somehow, despite the fever and spasms making him bed bound for 10 days and Mary being so sick he had to rush home to look after her they all managed to drive 250 miles to Durham.
Remarkable.
Remarkable.
And all so the very people who are supposed to be shielded could look after the 4 yr old who was supposed to be in 14 day isolation.
Prime Minister’s personal instructions.
Neither his account nor hers mentioned a trip to Durham.
They are taking the piss.

H/T @jneill for this. Cummings travelled up from badly infected London to Durham that v soon afterwards was one of the worst hit local authorities.
One if the reasons one is supposed to stay at home.

Here is the clip of Johnson saying you shouldn’t taking children to visit or be left with grandparents on 18 March
I mean. Johnson’s Dad took it so seriously he hightailed I’m down to the SW (in breach of lockdown)when he heard his son was seriously ill

And, to keep the evidence together, Mary Wakefield’s interviewing with Radio 4, saying how sick Cummings was, bedridden for 10 days, worried if he would need ICU. No mention of the 250 drive to Durham or grandparents. Of course.
The supposed official statement makes it worse.
And I wake up today to find the WhatsApp direction has gone out to MPs to spring to the defence of an UNELECTED BUREAUCRAT behaving like the élite, breaking the laws and the guidance that they had just made, and the rest of us obey.
You could not make it up.
Hypocrites.

@jneill has just pointed out that if they needed a family member to look after the son then Wakefield’s brother lives...
IN LONDON.
IN LONDON.
Interesting that the FT was told 1/ that Cummings was symptomatic after the weekend of 28/29 March that Cummings would stay in his LONDON home for the next several days. (The son would have had to “stay at home” and remain in quarantine for 14 days.)
Meanwhile...this tweet has just landed.
I just thought I would run a check in Companies House for Jack Wakefield (Mary’s brother)
His gallery, Clio Art, is in Gough Square EC4, is just a decent walk from Angel/ Islington.

Companies House record. The other link showed the map for the location.
Meanwhile the cabinet all come out with the parroted line...so they all look like hypocrites.
Even the Attorney General whose brief is in part to uphold the law.
As Andy Coulsdon said “When the spokesman needs a spokesman it is time to move on”.
Oh Ho! A few hours later... The Guardian and Mirror have been keeping this up their sleeve.
Mmmmm...
Look like gullible eejits. Cummings has them all.
Hardly people to be in charge of the Fovernment response of the most grave challenges of my lifetime. But that was obvious already.

And the thing is. Cummings won’t care that they look like eejits, because HE holds them all in contempt.
That is pretty humiliating.
That is pretty humiliating.
Oh look. Between Cummings’ No 1 trip TO Durham and back before going back TO Durham by 19th April this was No 10’s message to us plebs.
Perfect. Mirror: Start the story...the Guardian..
Wait and wait for them all to walk up to the hole they have dug for themselves and him.
Then sneak up behind and drop another bomb.
Delicious.
So neat. Delicious.
👏👏👏 Well done @DailyMirror @guardian @PippaCrerar

And it was a lie to suggest the police had not been in contact and Durham police aren’t having it. Looks as if Dom must have been there on the Monday 30th.
Meanwhile I am reading numerous stories like these.
And this.
And this
Just to keep the thread complete @uk_domain_names has carefully collated all the MPs who went to Cummings defence today.
