PM says Dominic Cummings was following “instincts” but @GaryGibbonBlog points out that everyone else in the country was following rules.
Boris Johnson doesn’t really answer the question on whether we are all now entitled to follow our instincts.

On allegations that Cummings was spotted 30 miles from Durham, Johnson says he is “content that at all times throughout his period of isolation and on both sides of that period he behaved responsibly and correctly”
What we don’t yet have is a clear timeline from Government as to where Cummings was and when.
Was he 30 miles from Durham on April 12th, in breach of the lockdown?
PM is “confident” he behaved correctly. If so, why not tell us exactly how he behaved?
