    The government may wish to think very VERY hard if it really wants to have “sources” briefing claiming it was actually within the rules for Cummings to do what he did, given this.

    there are millions of people who have been unable to visit their parents, attend the funerals of elderly relatives, and they will be incredulous

    I really do think reporters have to stop allowing anonymity in this way. Who is the source? Unless we know, this doesn’t add much

    Replying to @PippaCrerar
    Source says his trip was within guidelines as Cummings went to stay with his parents so they could help with childcare while he and his wife were ill - they insist no breach of lockdown

    I don't even know what this debate is about, but I know this ultimate takeaway is 100% correct.

    Ultimate takeaway - nuance doesn't work on Twitter.

    The Twitter pile on is the only enduring legacy of the Corbynite movement. Not a social change, or a relief of suffering or a step towards a fairer society. Just raving abuse of randomly selected targets.

    An office that you go to every day in the morning and leave in the evening? That's surely coming to an end. But - collaboration days? Get everyone together in a productive space to work for a few hours? Huge huge demand on the horizon. I'd be investing heavily in that.

    People haven't stopped thinking. There must be massive pent-up creativity as well as pent-up demand, waiting to be unleashed. The Government could leash it. Or not.

    Counter intuitive thought: might the disruption caused by lockdown, combined with lots of folk with time on their hands and what amounts to lots of micro capital grants from the state, stimulate lots of new entrepreneurship?

    Brits will be the only citizens of a Western European country unable to travel, work, study and retire freely across their own continent. The biggest retraction in freedoms in living memory.

    We’re ending free movement to open Britain up to the world. It will ensure people can come to our country based on what they have to offer, not where they come from.
