1) Labour are not in power, and did not set the lockdown rules, so its a false equivalency. You can't counter every criticism of the active government twith "Yeah but what about Labour". Labour are not the government.

1.1) But yes any politician who can't stick with the rules that they expect the public to follow should step down.

2) Cummings actively knew he was unwell(!!), he shouldn't even have been out of his home! That was a clear and explicit part of the policy even BEFORE lockdown!

3) at this point it's not even about him breaking the rules, it's about the blatant lies and attempts to excuse and cover it up. Just totally ridiculous. People this openly disingenuous and untrustworthy shouldn't be running a hobby club let alone a country. And I'm not just talking about Cummings. And yes if Labour are going to be hypocrites, I'm talking about them too. Bin the lot of them.
