A Conservative MP has said the Prime Minister’s top adviser Dominic Cummings “clearly” broke lockdown rules but he should not be sacked.
Bolton West MP Chris Green said it “would be wrong” to punish Mr Cummings who left his London home to make a 260-mile journey four days after the national lockdown came into force because other MPs have broken rules too.
He has compared Mr Cummings’ actions to that of Labour MP Stephen Kinnock who tweeted on March 28 about visiting his parents for a socially-distanced celebration on his father’s birthday in their front garden.
Mr Green released a lengthy statement on Wednesday explaining his position on the matter – but it fell short of stating what he believes should happen next.
