I've now had 3 people tell me in the last 24 hours that they have broken lockdown, citing Dominic Cummings as justification.

His resignation is genuinely required as an urgent and powerful public health intervention; people are flouting the rules bc he did without consequence.

As I've said in another tweet, Cummings isn't solely responsible for lockdown adherence weakening. But while he so publicly goes unpunished for breaching the rules, it undermines the sense that *other people are adhering* which is so critical to a collective behaviour holding.

Thank you to @piersmorgan for retweeting me. It's unfortunately led to a fair number of abusive tweets from people with UK or England flags in their bios - with one hand Piers giveth...
Muting the thread for now, thank you for all your comments and kind feedback.
