A grieving mum whose son caught coronavirus and died during leukaemia treatment in hospital has angrily rejected Dominic Cummings' excuse for breaking the lockdown..
Louise Bennett has also hit out at Boris Johnson and senior cabinet ministers who defended the Prime Minister's chief aide amid public fury and calls for him to resign or be sacked.
Mrs Bennett's 14-year-old son Fred contracted Covid-19 during the lockdown and was receiving treatment for leukaemia when he died in hospital on May 3.
The mum, from Rugby, Warwickshire, said the treatment of Mr Cummings' actions as a special case is "offensive to every family" forced to make difficult decisions and huge sacrifices during the lockdown.
