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.

    • Came here to post that.   Not based on any info, can just see it happening.
    • I'm not sure about the entrance but it wouldn't be a surprise to find the festival have secured use of the land from Steanbow who own it for either new CV space, or for authorised off-site camping as they did with Worthy View.  An authorised off-site pitch-your-own with decent facilities priced just below WV would fly off the shelves as an option.
    • Burnham needs to hold onto his seat , plus needs labour to hold onto all those other seats that could go Reform, so I think some blue labour stuff might stay...and it will be back to the tactic of hoping enough left/liberal voters will get behind labour and not go Green in order to stop a Reform govt...obviously wasn't working with Starmer, but might with Burnham if he shows enough leg. Have to see, Burnham is going from a cushty job where he's very popular and seen as successful to probably the most difficult job going, prime minister of this country...and his popularity might not last long when people realise he can't fix all the problems over night. What he can do is give a sense of direction and optimism which is badly needed, but he will also be faced with a whole bunch of nasty trade offs and could be where Starmer is now in a matter of months.
    • Yep, The Cure and The xx are the two most painful misses for me this year. The Cure literally plays at every corner, except the one I attend to.
