Daily Mail comments raging
Dominic Cummings REFUSES to apologise and has NOT offered to resign for breaking lockdown to drive 260 miles to Durham without PM's permission - despite admitting he DID go to bluebell woods and Barnard Castle to 'check if he felt better'

Literally the only thing the media might have got wrong is him going back to Durham, he's admitted to everything else they said.

yes, people were being fined and turned back from driving to holiday homes. how was that any different?
did the 'exceptional circumstances' clause exist? have they retconned it?

4 hour drive with a 4 year old and no stops... is straining the credibility of his story a little

from what i've seen on twitter (sorry) the exceptional guidelines were intended to allow for ways of dealing with domestic violence and sexual abuse.

I think he’s probably that the media have misrepresented him and his massive brain a lot - it does seem true that he was arguing for lockdown early on among other things. But my god he personally weaponised misrepresentation against Labour and Remain alone so a) you love to see it and b) he should be much, much better at countering it than this.

Cummings said he warned about i.a. corona virus in 2019.Thing is, he didn't. References to SARS and corona virus were added to his blog post on pandemic risks sometime between April and May of this year. pic.twitter.com/NneonooLoj— ⬡ Jens Wiechers (@jwiechers) May 25, 2020
