My first novel #Mainlander is out in paperback today. I'm immensely proud of both the book, and the quote below.

Exciting! Just two more sleeps before the first Cabinet minister is caught travelling across tiers to spend Christmas with their family

Well, obviously that was in many ways a disgraceful performance but, viewed merely as a matter of politics, it was also staggeringly *inept*.

But isn’t it endangering others by potentially spreading the virus?

I thought we were supposed to be protecting our families by not visiting our families?

Protecting one’s family is what any good parent does. The @10DowningStreet statement clarifies the situation and it is wholly inappropriate to politicise it.

By “you guys” he means “the country”.

Dominic Cummings giving social distancing advice this morning and then: "Who cares about good looks? It's a question of doing the right thing. It is not about what you guys think."

If only you had been as quick off the mark to protect people in care homes as you have been to protect Dominic Cummings.

I know how ill coronavirus makes you. It was entirely right for Dom Cummings to find childcare for his toddler, when both he and his wife were getting ill.

Matt Hancock on Neil Ferguson when he broke social distancing guidelines, he said he was “speechless” before adding “It's a matter for the police...But I think the social distancing rules are very important and people should follow them."

Well at least there’s clarity now: if you’re afraid of getting ill, even if you have the virus, it’s permissible to travel vast distances to drop your child off with someone else.

Great, if anyone gets ill it’s fine for them to drive 250 miles for childcare. Thanks for clarifying.

You’re the one politicising it you runaway ventriloquist’s dummy.

It’s reasonable and fair to ask for an explanation on this. And it has been provided: two parents with Coronavirus, were anxiously taking care of their young child. Those now seeking to politicise it should take a long hard look in the mirror.

Slightly ironic that Farage and Cummings, 2 men who've done more than anyone to limit our free movement, can't hack it for one second when theirs is taken away.

How does Robert Jenrick manage to come across as both 17 and 57 at the same time.

I wish people would stop describing Starmer's every act as 'forensic.' It's competent, basic opposition. The word you are looking for is competent. It's just you haven't seen any of that in a while.

"Some experts". Might I suggest that the experts that agree with Trump, are not experts. Is Eammon "inquiring mind" Holmes editing the New York Times?
