Dominic Cummings has accused senior political journalists of trying to ‘bury’ the story about an alleged Christmas party in Downing Street – because they were there 😳
Mr Cummings, who did not name any journalists, tweeted on Monday evening: ‘V unwise for No10 to lie about this but PM set the course of lying on covid in spring when he decided to start rewriting history, deny herd immunity plan etc. NB some lobbyIt comes as the government faced another day of questions about the gatherings – after mixed messages from ministers and Number 10 about the allegations.
Some observers have since suggested that there has been limited press coverage of the events, unlike the Barnard Castle incident Mr Cummings was involved in. Downing Street had previously failed to clarify what part of the original report it disputed and ministers had said that all rules had been followed, while seemingly not disputing that gatherings had taken place.It is unclear how Number 10 is defining what constitutes a ‘party’.
