Of course Cummings SHOULD resign, but he won't [View all]
Against all the actual rules when Cummings and his missus came down with Covid, rather than locking down their household and quarantining in place, they hopped into the car and drove 270 miles so her elderly parents could take care of the child while they were ill. Not in the spirit or in the letter of the lockdown rules, however they will try and spin it now they have been caught with their pants down.
In another era there would not even be a question. This should be resign or be sacked situation for the most senior official in Downing Street. BUT he isn't going to resign and BoJo is not going to sack him. They are arrogant, they are entitled, they are privileged and they do not think that the rules apply to them. Even when they are the ones who wrote the rules. They do not care what we think. They do not care how we feel. They care only for power, privilege and profit and as they sit with an 80 seat majority in the House of Commons they believe they are untouchable, and they are probably right. So, IMO Cummings will not be leaving number 10. Resigning would be the right thing to do, so of course he is not doing that.
