The Press Complaints Commission; if you feel so strongly, make a complaint although I do not see there are any inaccuracies in what was reported. It is regrettable if the witness who claimed to see Mr Cummings on 19 April 2020 is wrong but that is still accurate reporting of the allegations.
There are questions here of judgment by both Mr Cummings and the PM, both in what happened amd in its subsequent handling.
I accept that Mr Cummings is probably being truthful in his account of events but it remains a series of poor judgments in my view. And that is relevant given his role in setting policy.
Meanwhile, the testing figures continue to be manipulated, the tracking app appears not to be on time and I fear the avalanche of taxation in the future from all these bailiuts, whether corporate or individual.
I have never trusted a government less in my lifetime.
At the moment I have been and hope to continue to for the rest of the year to work from home or outside core office hours.
I will continue to social distance, avoid large gatherings if they are allowed and wear face coverings.
I will see how things develop, hoping to avoid becoming a victim of any second wave.
I will not be installing any tracking app and resisting vaccination for the foreseeable future until there is clear evidence of safety and efficacy. By that, I mean that large sections of the population have been vaccinated.
In truth, I regard it as highly unlikely a vaccination will be found because it is a coronavirus.
And I am a former medicinal chemist that worked for a large multinational pharma firm.
