[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 995978, member: 74895"] In fairness I think the original article did claim that the child was left with a grandparent(s). I agree Blackford was right to be called out and should have at least kept himself up to date with the latest version of events which now seems to suggest the child was with Cummings and his wife the whole time (in a separate part of the building) and that Cummings' sister and niece were 'on standby' to provide child care if needed. Either way, Cummings and his wife have no defence for travelling 270 miles whilst symptomatic 'just in case' they needed to call on child care support from family. The message at the time was 'Stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives'. Their actions essentially failed to protect the NHS and put lives in danger. They should have stayed in isolation at their home in London and called the NHS 111 or 999 if things got that bad. If they needed urgent childcare then surely it would have made more sense for Cummings sister to come to London and collect the child or worst case I'm sure No.10 could have pulled a few strings.
