Goes to none other than Dominic Cummings.....
This was a very hard competition to judge, the runner up category were so close on his heels they surely deserve a shout too, so let's hear it for Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and Dominic Raab

Somebody just posted -
Labour MP Steven Kinnock travelled to his parents house for a birthday.
Labour MP Tahir Ali attended a funeral with 100 other mourners.
Welsh Health Minister Vaughan Gething sitting at a picnic table having chips with his family.
All during lockdown.
Appears to me that they are all as bad as one another and don't know how one party can stand and call the other party for doing the same.

Some are gunning for him, that's for real, but given the guy's rep it's hardly a surprise.

IMO this has nothing to do with politics, its media bashing journo's with nothing better to do.

He's ruffled a lot of feathers over the past few years (decade+?), so I'm not surprised that people from all corners want him ousted.

Its everything to do with politics, the guy failed to follow the lockdown rules he was instrumental in introducing, both he and his wife,along with Johnson, have been economic with facts and truth,lies about police involvement, the list goes on and on.
Undeniably he got caught out, if it was anyone else, Cummings would insist on their dismissal

When you make the rules, expect others to follow them and then totally disregard those rules, what do you expect? It's arrogance in the xtreme.

Kinnock lives in london near his dad, and delivered essentials to his parents who was isolating.
Ali one was 100 allegedly but 15 properly socially distanced, according to the daily mail
Gething getting chips while on his gov allowed excercise and socially distanced with his family, that is allowed by the rules
You need up your game if that is the best you sorry somone can do.

Well if you believe the liars at the Mirror and Gruniad thats up to you, the media has had a grudge against him for the best part of 20 years, now I'm no fan of Cummings, he's abrasive, but then are so many others as well. Best read the whole law on this.

I think Cummings will come to regret saying ' Journalists are 100% irrelevant '
I'm sure he will also regret his comment regarding possible 'herd immunity ' from Covid19, 'So what if some pensioners die '
The man is vile and represents all that is toxic in today's politics, if he understands the term decency he should resign

50 Years ago before Cummings was born, we lived in a town called Ashford (Kent) our MP was Bill Deedes, he used to say journalists are the most useless people in the world, yet he was one ofthe greatest Tories ever, even the other parties admired him, I agree.

It wouldn't be unfair to compare journalists to flies hovering around dogshit, but those same irritating flies can make and break reputations
