As it seems we're going to be spending the rest of the weekend discussing why, when and if Dominic Cummings broke the very lockdown rules that he already had a contentiously large hand in creating, we feel we need to point out one quick detail that's at risk of being overshadowed.

If you ever choose to drive the 250-odd miles from London to the Cummings' family farm just south of Durham, it's pretty easy to find. You just need to turn off the A167 at a junction known locally as "Cock O' The North".

The junction took its name from a pub that used to stand there that's long since been demolished. But thanks to Dom, it looks like the name will live on for a while yet.

Everyone out ... it’s all common sense now ... 

That’s quite likely.

We’ve followed the lockdown vary carefully but spoke to my mum earlier who I haven’t seen since Feb and she is keen on meeting up to see grandkids and walk dogs next week. We would keep 2m apart and all of us are healthy . Her quote was If Cummings can do that what the hell.

If we were in N Ireland or Scotland as I understand it small groups are allowed to get together like this so why not I guess. So fuming about Cummings I’m not feeling like sticking to the less sensible rules now. Must be many others thinking the same.

I'm so angry with this, they would rather put everything at risk rather than sack him.

For the whole cabinet to get behind him, and dilute their lockdown rules to accommodate him is so dangerous.

My big takeaway from today's briefing was that it is now up to people to use common sense when deciding which rules to follow.

The lockdown is fucked now, once people start ignoring the rules it has a snowball effect, if everyone else is doing it then why the fuck shouldn't I? It's already happening round my way, and they have basically given the green light to do what you like.

    • Elastica posted last night teasing a return, wonder where they would play if they reformed?
    • I agree but anyone under Rodrigo would be a sub in reality, that day would sell out in under an hour whoever is subbing, in which case Wolf Alice would make a lot of sense   The more unrealistic part of the scenario at this point is Rodrigo headlining   
    • All you can say is...     If he couldn't convince nations that really would've benefitted from the short-term hit of an up-front £50mil payment by this time next year, what hope did he have?   Guess we'll now just have to monitor and see if this could derail Infantino's plans to be re-elected FIFA President next year.
    • Spider-Man: Brand New Day   Highlight was a bloke reacting to the post-credit scene by going "Holy f**k it's Tobey Maguire!" despite the scene having no reference to him at all. Which made my close-to-full screening of the film laugh a lot.   Film was pretty good. It was interesting as much as an exploration of the ramifications of the end of No Way Home and being about isolationism and male loneliness, which I thought it actually did quite well. Though I do ponder if I liked it as much as the other 3 Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Sadie Sink was good tbf, while I also liked Jon Bernthal as Punisher, enough that I might go watch his Disney+ shows.   Seem to have had a Marvel kick recently having also watched Thunderbolts and Shang-Chi, both of which I thought were pretty good.
    • Wolf Alice won't get headliner for Reading either, they will sub if they play, that is where their level has stopped I feel. Both TFG and Skyvip for the big shows this year was just a stretch too far. Every headliner this year is bigger than them too I'd say.   Agree with Capaldi I don't think Yungblud will be at Reading. I would guess Bludfest 3 or Download.
