His actions haven’t made it much harder, the reporting, commentating and political attacks have made it much harder.
Cummings went for a non essential drive in his car - hardly a headline never mind the circus we have had.
If the Tories want to protect Cummings that's their choice,and when the public boot them out of office next time that's their choice.
Keir Starmer's bang on it's undermining the government's central message,but apparently that doesn't matter so long as Dom is kept in post.
'We risk losing control of the rules' over Cummings - Starmer
Reacting to the findings from Durham Police, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he was worried the public may decide not to stick to lockdown rules following the row.
"The most important thing here is not these technical issues," he told BBC Look North.
"The problem is that by not dealing with Cummings in a strong way the PM has not only showed himself to be weak... But more importantly what I’m worried about is that people might think - well, if Cummings doesn’t have to abide by the rules, why do I have to?
"Then you’re on a slippery slope. The real risk here is that we lose control of the rules."
