Yes I would have been perfectly happy to have seen Cummins and the other M's who chose to ignore lockdown being buried! But telling joe upblic that they can ignore the lockdown at such a crucial stage of lockdown enforcement was as irresponsible journalism as were the actions. Some things are best not known.

The health secretary might well say "he didn't' know" but he wasn't health secretary at the time of the appointment and may never have bothered to ask. if you were to tell me that "the powers that be" collectively didn't know I would be flabberghasted, shocked and awed. Basic disclosure of interests such of this are mandatory for any significant appointment, let alone senior appointment.
