Therese Coffey raises Dominic Cummings’s infamous Barnard Castle lockdown trip in retaliatory war against PM’s former aide Nicholas Cecil and Joe Murphy
A cabinet minister stepped up the retaliatory war against Dominic Cummings today by reminding the public of his infamous trip to Durham and Barnard Castle during the first lockdown.
Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey highlighted the journey which the then No10 senior aide defended in an extraordinary press conference in the No10 Rose Garden.
Mr Cummings was widely condemned for the trip. But Boris Johnson stood by his then top adviser at the time as he argued that he took a 25-mile drive to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight before driving back to London.
