A row broke out in the afternoon when it was revealed that Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson's lynchpin, had broken the lockdown rules by visiting his family near Durham which involved a 270 mile - that's just one way - journey and also visited Barnard Castle during his stay on Daddy's farm. It's a long time since I've seen so much rage on Twitter and it was pretty much universal. People have made many sacrifices in observing lockdown rules and they are clearly very angry. Boris Johnson later defended him but he was clearly lying. It will be interesting to see how this pans out since it's clear that Cummings should resign, or be sacked but Johnson is unlikely to do that and will try and weather the storm. How this affects his premiership in the longer term remains to be seen.
In the meantime I have been doing a lot more gardening and watering because it's still dry!
