we found off the dominic cummings affair that some of those who are most angry at dominic cummings actuallyak the rules, we look after each other and we do the right thing, so a lot of people have been adhering, despite the government and i think people still do recognise the science, have been following the science and will understand that we are in a situation where we have got to do something or else we are in real danger of huge spikes of infection and the nhs being overwhelmed. but, having said that, in the midst of a national crisis, and this is what i meant by my tweet, in the midst of a national crisis you want a government that can guide us and be trusted to guide us, otherwise they are not doing theirjob. yes, people might do it on their own. it would be far better if they were doing it with the government, supported by government and government that was trusted by them, so this loss of trusted by them, so this loss of trust isn'tjust trusted by them, so this loss of trust isn't just a trusted by them, so this loss of trust isn'tjust a problem for the government, it is a problem f

cummings affair is a misnomer.ir because of the way in which the government systematically defended it, therefore created that divide between authority and the public and what you want in a pandemic is a sense of the authorities are on the side of the public and that they are in it together with the public. if you undermine that, you undermine one of the crucial bonds which leads to trust and influence with respect. so in conclusion, are you saying that this government is undermining the things we need to make us safe? it things we need to make us safe? it makes us less capable and less effective in being able to communicate with us and being able to advise us and being able to guide us. when you are in a national crisis he went a government that can guide you through and out of what is happening and sadly that has been undermined by these behaviours. doctor, gratefulfor undermined by these behaviours. doctor, grateful for your time thank you very much. at his press conference tonight the prime minister again insis

it recalled and perhaps eclipse to previous pandemic rule. breaches like chief advisor, dominic cummings, lockdown family road trip, the former health secretary mat hancock's office affair, and the prime minister's own failure to wear a mask on a recent hospital visit. at prime minister's questions on wednesday for his johnson was under extreme pressure to step up his response, saying, i can understand how infuriating it must be to think that the people who have been setting the rules have not been following the mississippi. because i was also curious to see that and i apologize, i apologize unreservedly to the effect that it is caused up and down the country. and i apologize to the impression that it gave it to the position for much the, the queen since alone, which she marked the passing of the man should be married to for 73 years leadership sacrifice. that's what gives leaders of moral authority to lee. i just the prime and to think he has the moral authority to leave off the purchase people to stick to the wrong. yeah, that question would be put to the test later. at a news conferen

we know from the dominic cummings castle - the dominic cummings castle episode previously which showedecrease in levels of compliance. so the minute that leaders seem to be pursuing a line of one rule for us and another rule for you, that creates a disconnect between the leaders and their followers, the people who need to be buying into their leadership. so there is clear evidence of president here. but the dimensions of the problem or manifest now and clearer and it seems that rather than learning the right lessons from previous episodes, actually borisjohnson and his party have learnt the wrong lessons and what they have engaged in is a collusion or a collaboration to come up with a story that this was just a business meeting and that will outrage people. that they have been colluding in the process of deceiving the population. i think it is a really, really significant effect, event that will have massive ramifications, notjust for his ramifications, not just for his leadership ramifications, notjust for his leadership but, more particularly, potentially for the course of the pandem

the allegation which dominic cummings is making possibly people who, journalists may have been friendse prime minister was why. certainly there were no journalists present. kitty donaldson, let's bring you in, what's your approach, what's bloomberg's approach on when to socialise and interact with politicians and when not to? that's a difficult question. obviously as a reporter i go and see sources all the time and i'll have coffee and i have lunches with senior politicians. and sometimes i go to parties that i'm invited to, the prime minister usually has an objection christmas party for journalists. we're not sure if that's good ahead this year... i wonder if you'll be invited, pippa? i hope so, if it goes ahead. sorry kitty, i interrupted. the thing i would try and keep in mind is that when i'm reporting on the people they are not my friends. there is a personal detachment there. do you feel that detachment paul as you watch the consequences of your story have a personal impact on allegra stratton and personally other people to? the story involving _ allegra stratton was the former t

i now someone who has been offering commentary in the last few days has been dominic cummings, formerer. he tweeted. .. some lobby hacks were at the parties so they are trying to bury the story. you covered westminister for many years but are there situation in which lobbyjournalists either don't maximise a story or turn away from it completely? i think inevitably. it's less the case that it used to be. 30 years ago, 30—a0 years ago lobby journalists would turned a blind eye to all sorts of things going on in government in order to preserve their sources. i think that is a lot less the case these days and i think lobby journalists, political journalists, those based in westminister are a lot tougher on politicians and rightly so. i think it's difficult in this case because if some of the people, some of the lobbyjournalists were at the party there, potentially sources, people will say, well, shouldn't we as journals should expose what otherjournals are at the party? it's very tricky for people doing the story to get the story far from otherjournalists and then expose them. they can't

i remember when we broke the dominant cummings scoop, about 45 tory mps called for dominic cummings tom the affair as well as they should've done and they've learned their lessons to make sure they don't get that in that position again. let's see over the coming days — i've spoken to several tory mps were already starting to get letters and e—mails from angry constituents. because ultimately this comes down to people and the rest of the country, not what's going on here and whether boris johnson is up or down within his own party. for many people particularly at this time of year, it brings back all the difficult decisions they had to make last year, the bad memories, reopening wounds and the fact that they weren't able to spend christmas with loved ones, and in many cases people were facing much more tragic circumstances. but certainly it would be very interesting to see those tory mps on the benches tomorrow and see how supportive they are. , ., , y tomorrow and see how supportive they are. , ., , , ., ., tomorrow and see how supportive they are. ,., _ ., ., ., are. obviously we had

it was a very different story, mr cummings, a very different story.to give the public, who many of whom were absolutely furious with what you'd done, you decided together it was better to give the public a story that was not the 100% truth than to keep silent or even for you to resign. that would have made it go away. i think there's absolutely no doubt that the way we handled the whole thing was wrong on the monday. while westminster was on its summer recess, a rapidly developing situation abroad put the government to the test. the taliban advanced after the us and its allies decided to pull out. there was a scramble to flee. an operation began that would successfully evacuate more than 15,000 people out of afghanistan. 0peration pitting was the raf�*s largest airlift for more than 70 years. but... some people won't get back, and we will have to do our best in third countries to process those people. questions soon surfaced about why the foreign secretary had stayed on holiday after kabul fell. first of all, with hindsight, i wouldn't have gone away

——dominic cummings, his former aide would call the trolley going off- or whatever, the trolley going, has hit him. but the point is, on an economic basis, we have had a number- of things that have come along - recently which may be we'll get to, which is the fact that inflation is now rising faster— than people's wages. that is a pretty toxic area for any | politician in any country to be in. j and it's notjust- happening in the uk. it's happening elsewhere. we should make that point. but when you're not getting i on in life, when you're working as hard as you can and actually, prices are rising faster- than you can afford to pay for them, then you begin to feel you're - not getting ahead. and i think that's one _ of the fundamental contracts that you make with the people, that if you do this, - your life will improve. and i think that is one of the things, people i are seeing their energy bills go up, their petrol prices and wages not . going up in line with that. i think that will be the biggest issue of 2022 on my watch, i which will be inflation, i how high, for how long. polly,

you inherited the seat from the late elijah cummings, who for decades was a voice of moral clarity in american politics. what might he say about the republican party today if you could guess? >> if i could guess, it would not be printable or allowed on this air right now. but let me say a couple things. yeah, i did inherit elijah's seat. he inherited my seat when i left, so we've been kind of in tune with one another on a lot of issues through the years. you're right. you got that award, but trust me, you earned that award. so it was my pleasure to be able to pass it on to you. i think what he would say and i would say is this is good old-fashioned racism 101. it's out of the closet and in front of everybody. it has a very dangerous aspect to it because it endangers the lives of people, and there are enough crazyies out there in that society is all they need to do is be shook for a minute. it's almost like the movie the night of the living dead, when donald trump came and talked the way he did, these crazies started getting out of their graves and they're still doing it. and some of t

dominic cummings who has an axe to grind with the prime minister said he thought there was photographic parties and that would corroborate allegations that they broke covid rules despite the government and the prime ministers insistence that absolutely no covid rules were broken at any point in the last 18, 19 months. particularly across the three locked out. so i imagine it will be quite difficult for the prime minister. it's notjust the public he has to keep on site, sometimes the public and conservative mps feel differently. and on this issue they are very frustrated, some people saying he really needed to get his house in order before when it came to the parties. a couple of them has said he's become incompetent personified and things like that. the level of anger is rising. one of the worst thing that can happen to the conservative party is division and against each other. that's the deep, dark hole that we are in at the moment. and they don't seem to be signs that borisjohnson is taking his way out of it successfully yet. that's a good summary. that's what turns out. it's quite ha

i suppose after dominic cummings and his trip to barnard castle, matt hancock and his embrace with ansupposed to socially distance, is it looking... do you think the public will wrap themselves in the borisjohnson comfort once again? well, the polls would indicate that the moths are eating very fast at the moment, to stretch the analogy well past where it should have gone. sorry, that's my fault! no, that's fine. but the polls are showing there's been a very fast downturn in public faith in borisjohnson. the tory party has suddenly slid between six and nine points behind labour. this also comes at a time when the labour party under sir keir starmer hasjust reshuffled and put a much more impressive group of individuals into the top jobs who, for the first time really since jeremy corbyn took over the party, look as though they could be an alternative group of individuals in government. and also, this plays well for sir keir starmer, who is the exact opposite of borisjohnson. he's not a jolly guy cracking jokes the whole time. he's a serious guy, but he has the lawyer's background, as a

if we look back to the heights of the pandemic dominant cummings, the prime minister's former chief 8. well, he travelled 270 miles from london to durham to visit bernard castle. then of course, mad hancock, the former, how secretary he was seen, intimately embracing a colleague, both of which have been rule breaking. and that's really the problem. that's why, as so many people are angry that those people that are making the rules think it's ok to simply break them. while the political opposition, the house of commons, they say they simply can't go on. and the prime minister's time is up downing street willfully broke the rules, and the more the sacrifices we have all made, the prime minister has our duty, the all my right and moral choice left to him and to support his resignation. countless children now growing up without parents while parties were held at number 10. it is an insult for everyone. he wasn't allowed to say that final. good bye. my question is very simple. ah, how does the prime minister sleep at night while the reality, as many people were in absolutely heart wrenchin
