It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

Boris Johnson should have drawn a line under the Dominic Cummings saga but was too weak to act.

The public have sacrificed so much for the health of our nation - which he's now undermined.

And sent a message that there's one rule for them and another for the British people.

@10DowningStreet You can do what you like, as long as you are following your instincts.

Cummings clearly been in Downing Street all afternoon telling @BorisJohnson what to do. We are living in a state run by an unelected political adviser who has made the PM his puppet & operates above the law. Really. Quite. Frightening

[Ted Fish @RedTedFish]

What a weird, dystopian world we live in now. You know, given that the new rule of law in the UK is that you can do what you like as long as you are acting on your #instinct.....
Taxi for #DominicCummings

@cabinetofficeuk @pinccushion Don't panic - I'm sure the tweeter was acting on their instinct. As such it's okay isn't it? That's the new rule of law as I understand it from @BorisJohnson at the #Briefing_COVID19.

[Ted Fish @RedTedFish]

@mrdanwalker Give your head a wobble flowerpot. Have you got the first idea how angry the country is right now?
#dominiccummimgs has got to go. Maybe he can borrow that van to clear his office out? Make sure someone gets the number plate in case it turns up somewhere on the M1 this evening.

If you voted for this guy, you deserve everything coming your way.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

What’s boiling my piss today is all these twats Assuming people’s utter disdain for this Governments hypocrisy and dangerous mixed messages regarding Cummings is just sour grapes over brexit. Bullshit! People are annoyed because he, & the government he runs are a bunch of cunts.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

That was a f*cking disgrace.
The rules were crystal clear & people missed weddings, births, deaths & funerals to respect them. For @BorisJohnson to stand there & bare-faced lie to save his lying hypocrite aide is a slap in the face to everyone who obeyed the rules HE enforced.

[Marv @MutantMarv]

Asking Boris Johnson to sack Dominic Cummings is a bit like asking Orville to sack Keith Harris.

[Ted Fish @RedTedFish]

If it wasn't for my UK based family I'd be on the first plane to #NewZealand

@RockyinTX @PMLEGEND @Keir_Starmer I like the cut of your jib!

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

This was a test of the Prime Minister and he has failed it.

It is an insult to sacrifices made by the British people that Boris Johnson has chosen to take no action against Dominic Cummings.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

I know it is tough to lose a trusted adviser at the height of crisis, but when it’s a choice of that or integrity of vital public health advice, the latter must come first. That’s the judgment I and, to her credit, Catherine Calderwood reached. PM and Cummings should do likewise.

[Ted Fish @RedTedFish]

Absolutely fucking disgusting. Two fingers up to the millions who have suffered as a result of #COVID.
@BorisJohnson, just resign. And take that bloody lapdog #cummings with you.
#JohnsonMustGo
#CummingsMustGo

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

“Severe childcare difficulties”? How on earth do they think millions of parents have had to cope during #Coronavirus lockdown,many suffering great personal hardship many in poverty,many single parents, disabled parents, poorly parents all doing their best to comply with the rules

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

This is a fundamental test of character for Johnson. He’s dramatically failing it by defending the indefensible & doing it by obfuscation and avoidance. This is the sort of event from which the reputations of Prime Ministers do not recover. “Never glad confident morning again!”

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Big moment this. The Prime Minister is blatantly & demonstrably lying to the British people on live television. Some poor souls will tug their forelocks & welcome it, of course, but the gamble rests on all the previously supportive people who can see it for what it is.

[Another Angry Voice @Angry_Voice]

That was a very long-winded and profoundly dishonest way of saying

"we're above the law, because we make the rules for the pathetic, stupid, unimportant people like you to follow, not toffs like us"

wasn't it?
