Cummings ‘made a mockery’ of police lockdown enforcement, says UK police commissioner

Police and crime commissioner Martin Surl said the adviser’s actions will make it much harder to enforce restrictions.

Dominic Cummings’ actions have made a “mockery” of police enforcement of lockdown measures in the UK, a police and crime commissioner has said.

Mr Cummings travelled to County Durham in March to self-isolate with his family – apparently because he feared that he and his wife would be left unable to care for their son – while official guidelines warned against long-distance journeys.
