douglas - // 'Not Getting The Joke Since 1960' //
If, as usual, you have come on an interesting and developing thread simply to throw your own pointless off-thread animosity in my direction yet again, please stop.
I get it, you don't like me, and I don't care. We have done this to death, so back to the thread shall we?
There's a good chap.

It's looking worse still for him, if the reports that he in fact didn't even stay at the house in Durham turn out to be true. I said earlier today and meant it that he could and should apologise and that could be the end of it, but that was based on the idea of one breach, not, as it may well be, several.

The sub-header in the DM article about how Cummings is "not bothered" would suggest he is particularly tone-deaf. There seems to be no self-awareness, no contrition, no attempt to acknowledge that whatever the rationale behind it, this looks bad and that isn't just a perception driven by agendas. Yes, I personally hate everything he stands for and find him an unpleasant individual, but a single error of judgement requires a single apology, and it is sad if predictable that, instead of offering one, Downing Street has decided that Cummings is too big to fail.
I suspect, sadly, we all know why too.

Theland - // Cummings is an employee not an elected official and makes no decisions, only offering advice.
Therefore, should all employees who have broken the rules lose their livelihood? //
Your point makes no sense - if Mr Cummings is not an employee, how is the dismissal of employees relevant?
If you read my previous post, I have pointed out in some detail that Mr Cummings is not 'all employees' - he is a high profile advisor to the PM and was instrumental in framing the advice governing the curtailment of movement that he has flagrantly flouted on two occasions.
The luxury of anonymity afforded to the rest of us, is not available to Mr Cummings, but as compensation, he is extremely well remunerated for the high profile attached to his position, which would also make child-care arrangements well beyond the reach of the average citizen, easily available to him, had he chosen to take them.

To be fair douglas came to the thread rather early.
Cummings should be goings.

Theland - // Sacking him could be a loss of a unique talent.
Throw out the baby etc etc //
As I have opined many times, politics is all about perception.
What ever Mr Cummings' talents may be, they are obliterated in the eyes of the electorate by his crass absence of judgement, and his arrogance in refusing to acknowledge said absence.
Advisers come and go, but the government is here for the duration, and it's their behaviour that the people remember on election day.
In my view, whatever Mr Cummings brings to the table is fatally tainted by his cavalier approach.
He clearly lacks the common decency to do the right thing, so the PM needs to be seen to do it instead.
