Let& #39;s actually take this one apart

I can think of https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Keycap digit three" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit three"> cases of what was reported where there are outstanding questions...

"An infectious uncertainty"
By Mary Wakefield, Cummings& #39;s wife, in The Spectator
This is a rather peculiar one I admit, as it mentions her son administering Ribena to Cummings, but perhaps more importantly she states she thinks she had COVID, something Cummings at the Press Conference denied. And neglects to mention all of this happened in Durham not London.

I think we can call this one an honest error - "will remain at is London home" was at that stage a reasonable thing to say, because that is where everyone assumed he was. And, well, you know, that& #39;s where - according to the guidance - he was supposed to be.

"Dominic Cummings ignored coronavirus lockdown rules for SECOND time to visit parents"
By @pippacrerar and @SelbyMirror in the Daily Mirror, 24.6.2020 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/dominic-cummings-ignored-coronavirus-lockdown-22075857">https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/poli...
Dominic Cummings ignored lockdown rules for second time to visit parents

EXCLUSIVE Calls are growing for Boris Johnson's top aide to be sacked after breaching lockdown rules intended to keep the country safe - but so far the Government has tried to defend him

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/dominic-cummings-ignored-coronavirus-lockdown-22075857
At the Press Conference on Monday, Cummings denied that he was in Durham on that day, and said he had evidence to prove it. That evidence has not been published. So for the moment this is the Mirror& #39;s word against Cummings& #39;s.
The only other thing I have vaguely seen is a series of tweets alleging Cummings was in Durham on 11 May:
https://twitter.com/Life_Disrupted/status/1264328159010398208
But">https://twitter.com/Life_Disr... surely that cannot be what the PM means?

There is also this:
https://twitter.com/itvtynetees/status/1265327502500790272
But">https://twitter.com/itvtynete... that has no date or detail
If there is anything I am missing I am happy to add to the thread...

But the PM& #39;s case looks a little bit thin here. And https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Keycap digit three" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit three"> would be easy to deal with, if they wanted to.
