Bizzies on bank holiday overtime now as well investigating.

Wonder what this crap is, another lie at least I suspect.

I saw on Twitter that he has an autistic child and that's why he needed to be near his parents

Not sure how much, if any, of that is true, but I guess we'll find out soon enough

Nothing makes the media warm to you more than keeping a load of reporters on deadline waiting.

It's not. None of it. His son is not autistic.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

He's probably having a dump, that's why there's a delay

Pre presser nerves

Clarifying their position prior to Cummings speaking. I wonder if the delay is because they need to adjust his position, again.

Who the .... was that dude????

 

[Toast]

Bored of waiting now.
Well done Dom.

It's sunny outside.

 

[Kenshin]

No matter what justification he gives.

He and his wife went to visit elderly people whilst displaying covid-19 symptoms. If nothing else he put his parents life in danger whether or not it was for childcare.

 

[marnie]

He's probably in the gardens of Barnard Castle wondering where everyone is.

An updated statement from Durham police:

Following significant public interest over the last few days, Durham Constabulary wish to add the following to our statement of Saturday, May 23rd.
We can confirm that on April 1, an officer from Durham Constabulary spoke to the father of Dominic Cummings. Mr Cummings confirmed that his son, his son’s wife and child were present at the property. He told the officer that his son and son’s wife were displaying symptoms of coronavirus and were self-isolating in part of the property.
We can further confirm that our officer gave no specific advice on coronavirus to any members of the family and that Durham Constabulary deemed that no further action was required in that regard.
Our officer did, however, provide the family with advice on security issues.
