Durham University students are known for being rejected by Oxford and Cambridge Universities

I haven't heard that either.

You haven't heard it because it's not true. It stemmed from a joke!

Seems he made the trip twice and while there, rather than staying locked down at his parents he took a trip to Barnard Castle, some 30 miles away. Surely he must be toast now - the PM and cabinet must be furious now as he's made them look like muppets as they all lined up to defend he through the day.

I can't see Cummings staying in office much longer if the trip to the castle is verified.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

That they have come out to defend Cummings just further undermines the lockdown It's already clear that it was put in place too late, halfheartedly at that, now we see that the main ministers and officers responsible for implementing it did not really believe in the restrictions imposed. No wonder we have over 50,000 dead and wide spread in the North when it could have been confined to London and the South East.

I think the whole lot needs to go.

He's not just hypocrite, but a lying hypocrite with no credibility...in other words, he'll go down as a great Tory PM.

Interesting to note that here in Scotland we have our very own wee Tory blowhard, in Jackson Carlaw, who can normally be relied upon to sound off berating Nicola Sturgeon/the SNP at ever available imagined opportunity, has said nothing about this - the silence from him is deafening.

Mind you that is an improvement of sorts.

The silence from all of the Tories in Scotland has been. Other than a popon/popoff tweet from Davidson which ignored the issue - nothing for 2 days.

Currently on twitter Caroline Flack is trending because some people think that the challenge to Cummings is the same issue that caused Caroline Flack to commit suicide
