@davidallengreen @bbclaurak Indeed, and the changing details from the “source” in the tweets that followed smack of a quickly changing story. Eg this account conceded he travelled “when he and his wife had coronavirus”. Not “because he feared he might get it”.

@davidallengreen @bbclaurak Then, as critics point out the breach of the rules that would follow relying on elderly parents for care, suddenly the source offers “further details”, clarifying the prospective caregiver as the sister. By time of statement, is sister and nieces.

@davidallengreen @bbclaurak Oddly, the “small number of people in No 10” who “knew that Cummings had gone to Durham” were not mentioned in his statement. Indeed, he claimed that he only told the PM some days later. https://t.co/V3Q7UVVvsL
@davidallengreen @bbclaurak (Yes, I may have possibly filled some time drafting a cross-examination. No I’m not sorry, I’m starved of courtroom theatre.)
@davidallengreen @bbclaurak While Laura may not wish to disclose her source, a fair question not yet asked of Cummings is who knew sufficient details to leak the initial version to the press? On his account, only he, Mary and his four-year old.
