If the truth were known then I would imagine a lot more MPs have quietly not obeyed the lockdown rules. I'm sure we won't be seeing them standing down.
A certain mr kinnock did just to sing happy birthday to his father but shock horror the Labour Party wasn’t calling for his resignation,no they just said it was a private matter,double standards or what

Cummings needs to go ASAP
Nah. Labour hate him with a passion and are just throwing as much mud as possible, it’s just the usual pansies tricks and media manipulation that we’ve come to expect from lazy journalists and opportunistic politicians.

As for breaking the law, I think I broke at least 2 laws before I’d even woken up this morning. Make that 3, I forgot to lock the chemical store last night, and I’m sure that would be enough to make some over zealous Guardian ‘journalist’ come in his pants...

Whats more highly irresponsible, could have resulted in carnage and those who don't like you will press for a good farmer to resign. This country has gone off its head.

It's his wife writing about the trials and tribulations of having the virus, looking after her husband, and looking after a 4/5 year old at the same time without mentioning the long drive and putting people at risk along the way that annoys me. (In The Spectator, I think.)

Next time she's on Radio 4's Thought for the Day, maybe she should reflect on sins of omission, and also apologise to families who have not bent rules and guidelines.
She actually implied that they were still in their London home and the child was looking after them. This would suggest that she was well aware that they were breaking the quarantine law.

Makes me wonder if BoJo leaked it the day after Witness A cited Mr BoJo's penis had been active whilst still married even if no further investigations were to be undertaken with the American businesswoman

Stop Press: Number 10 states Cumming's actions WERE in line with Government guidelines

Look, it’s just yet another total fudge from the BoJo administration. Not so long since this Cummings thug, called police into Westminster to escort some lowly poor sod he had just fired from their job.
If these fudgers were left long enough in power, they would make Mugabe look like Mother Teresa of Calcutta (not the other Teresa).
Next weeks PMQ will once again have Bumbling Boris, being dissected by Sir Keir.
Once again the PM will be explaining ..... and when you are explaining you are losing.
Great time to be leader of the opposition. The pickings are easy, and the ripest fruits are hanging the lowest.
I would dare to suggest that even @Danllan would be able to score a point or two ..... ?

There were no laws , just guidelines .
For those who are having a quiet Saturday these are extracts from the legislation dated 10th February from Matt Hancock.
I would argue that the power to detain someone infected and at risk to others is not just a guideline. Why did 1000's get fined?
On several points he and the missus are banged to rights, guv.

The Health Protection (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020
Initial detention of persons to enable screening and assessment
14.—(1) This regulation applies if a constable has reasonable grounds to suspect that—

(a)a person (“P”) is, or may be, infected or contaminated with Coronavirus;
(b)there is a risk that P might infect or contaminate others; and
(c)it is necessary to direct, remove or detain P in the interests of P, for the protection of other persons or for the maintenance of public safety.
(2) A constable may—

(a)direct P to go immediately to a hospital or other suitable place specified in the direction for the purposes of screening, assessment and the imposition of any restrictions or requirements under regulation 5,
(b)remove P to a hospital or other suitable place for the purposes of the imposition of any restrictions or requirements under regulation 5; or
(c)if P is already at a hospital or other suitable place, keep P at that place or remove P to another hospital or other suitable place for the purposes of the imposition of any restrictions or requirements under regulation 5.
(3) The power in paragraph (2) may be exercised where P is at any place.

(4) For the purpose of exercising the power in paragraph (2), a constable may enter any place.

(5) Before exercising the power in paragraph (2) the constable must—

(a)so far as reasonably practicable, consult a registered public health consultant and have due regard to the views of the registered public health consultant and any information provided by the registered public health consultant in relation to P;
(b)have due regard to any guidance issued by Public Health England; and
(c)where consultation has not been carried out under sub-paragraph (a)—
(i)consult a registered public health consultant as soon as reasonably practicable after the power in paragraph (2) has been exercised; and
(ii)have due regard to the views of the registered public health consultant and any information provided by the registered public health consultant in relation to P.
(6) A person removed to or kept in a hospital or other suitable place under this regulation may be detained there for a period not exceeding the permitted period of detention.

(7) A constable or a registered public health consultant or a person authorised by either of them for the purposes of this paragraph, may, before the end of the permitted period of detention, take a person detained in a hospital or other suitable place to one or more other hospitals or other suitable places.

(8) A person taken to a hospital or other suitable place under paragraph (7) may be detained there for a period ending no later than the permitted period of detention.

(9) A constable may use reasonable force, if necessary, in the exercise of a power under this regulation.

(10) In this regulation—

“the authorised extended period” means such further period as is specified in an authorisation under paragraph (11); “the initial period” means the period of 24 hours beginning with—
(a)in a case where the person is removed to a hospital or other suitable place, the time when the person arrives at that place, or
(b)in a case where the person is kept at a hospital or other suitable place, the time when the constable decides to keep the person at that place; and
“the permitted period of detention” means the initial period of detention and the authorised extended period.
(11) A constable or registered public health consultant may, at any time before the expiry of the initial period, authorise the detention of a person for a further period not exceeding 24 hours (beginning immediately at the end of the initial period).

(12) An authorisation under paragraph (11) may be given only if the person giving the authorisation considers that the extension is necessary because it is not reasonably practicable for the imposition of any restrictions or requirements under regulation 5 to be completed before the end of the initial period.
Status: This is the original version (as it was originally made).

Offences
15.—(1) A person (“P”) commits an offence if P—

(a)fails, without reasonable excuse, to comply with a restriction or requirement imposed under regulation 4(1), 5(1), 7(1) or 9(4) or (5);
(b)absconds, or attempts to abscond, from detention or isolation under regulation 4, 5 or 8.
(2) A person who provides false or misleading information intentionally or recklessly to any person carrying out a function under these Regulations commits an offence.

(3) A person who obstructs, without reasonable excuse, any person carrying out a function under these Regulations commits an offence.

(4) A responsible adult who fails without reasonable excuse to comply with regulation 5(4), 6(3) or 7(7) commits an offence.

(5) An offence specified in paragraphs (1), (2), (3) or (4) is punishable on summary conviction by a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale
