A Greater Manchester MP says Dominic Cummings stretched lockdown rules ‘to the very limit’ - and will call for him to be sacked if any further revelations come to light.
Heywood and Middleton's Clarkson - who became his constituency’s first Conservative MP last December - had come under fire from some quarters for not making his views on the controversy known sooner.
In a statement, he said the delay was to ensure he in ‘possession of all the facts’ and allow Boris Johnson ’s top aide to ‘account for his actions fully’.
The latter came on Bank Holiday Monday, when Mr Cummings told a Downing Street press conference his relocation to Durham was so his family could take care of his child if both he and his wife fell ill with coronavirus.
