Whoever thinks it’s clever to say “but Cummings son is autistic” doesn’t get the national mood.

1% are on autistic spectrum. 100,000 UK school age children.

100,000 families trying to follow advice to keep us all safe. Not travelling. Not seeing relatives.

Many now angry.

The key adviser to the chief rule maker must not even *appear* to be above the law and rules, or he may damage public confidence. If Cummings believed he followed the advice, he could have issued a short factual statement to show this. He still hasn’t. +
