Breaking response from the Prime Minister:
"I do not remember meeting, or even hearing of, Mr Cummings. To my knowledge, I have never worked with a Dominic Cumming. Did I mention I'm having a wedding?"

Currently on BBC PM:
"The big issue of the day is Boris says he has never met Dominic Cummings, Dominic Cummings said he words for the Boris Johnson. Which is true? How can we tell? I guess we'll never really know!"

Tonight on Newsnight there will probably be a special segment on Woodward and Bernstein, followed by a discussion about how incredible stories can be broken by anonymous inside sources.
Tomorrow morning Matt Hancock will be on GMB and at the end of ever answer he will say:
"The main thing is we're getting on with the job, opening up the economy with our incredibly successful vaccine rollout, and there is going to be a wedding".

Carole Malone will be on Jeremy Vine later arguing that if you weren't personally in the room at the same time as Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson, then you cannot honestly be sure that they had met. Especially in an age of highly sophisticated special effects.
Politics Live will invite Darren Grimes, Tom Harwood, a random comedian, and the politician who accidently answered his phone without looking at 'caller id' to debate if Dominic Cummings scientific arguments hold water.
Joking or not joking, Meghan Markle must be odds on to be the front page story in tomorrow's Daily Mail.

I'm not sure that the Telegraph will actually print, but the strategy will be entirely consistent with their mission statement. 
Every single time anyone tweets about Boris Johnson or Dominic Cummings a twitter bots will respond saying "It has been proven that they didn't actually meet".
The Daily Express will come out in support of the side they think is the most angry.
Nobody resigns, the news moves on, and the cycle begins again...
