So what? That's another irrelevance.

That they reach different conclusions in their own particular circumstances just means that their circumstances and ours are not identical.

59% of the public think he should resign, up from 52% from last week, seems he didn"t win the garden interview battle after all!

Of course not!

When the whole strategy has been to claim that it's based upon the science then some of it is bound to be proved incorrect as events unfold.

You do what is deemed to be correct at the time and not just await hindsight to prove whether it was right or wrong.

Whether the scientists like or dislike Cummings is as irrelevant as what other people have said or do. The only thing that matters is whether Johnson does what he ought to do or whether he decides to tough it out and risk the consequences.

This is a critical moment in this crisis. Both for the country's ability to handle it and for Johnson's credibility. If he doesn't act he will look weak and totally dependent on an unelected official. He no doubt thinks he is demonstrating loyalty but that's not how others will see it. His loyalty needs to be to the people as a whole and not to Cummings. Now is the time for him to stand up and assert himself.

The government have got themselves into the farcical position where they have now said they will review fines issued where childcare is cited. Having to reverse engineer the law just to save the job of one man. So weak.
