Not sure why... Alastair Campbell being an obvious example...
Not to mention Charlie Falconer and Cherie Blair. Cabinet members seem to be there to carry out orders, the inner cabinet and close advisers make the decisions.
I understand Mrs. Dominic Cummings is Mary Wakefield, who writes a column in the Spectator.
I imagine Dominic Cummings did not expect to be found out. He broke no law, just failed to abide by government guidelines and advice. Professor Neil Ferguson similarly was visited by his friend from north London, no harm in that. I reckon most of us take a chance speeding, or parking, and get away with it most of the while.
I am surprised so many folk appear to have abided by the rules, I think they were all scared of the virus. In fact I read that nobody under 60, in good health and not obese, should be afraid of it.
