Massive story that begs a massive question: if political advisors - Dominic Cummings - are sitting in on 'the science' just how non-political is what the government says 'the science' recommends? https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1253739522048888835

Really worth re-reading Reuters' excellent long read on Britain's chaotic #covid response in light of the Guardian story. If Johnson was following 'the scientists', did Cummings have any role in influencing their conclusions? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-britain-path-speci/special-report-johnson-listened-to-his-scientists-about-coronavirus-but-they-were-slow-to-sound-the-alarm-idUSKBN21P1VF
