Another Conservative MP calls for him to go. The house of cards is collapsing.

Heading back to the old divisions of ERG and 1822 committee vs the rest? Shame...

It's more damaging to the Tories if he stays now, surely.

When,...surely

Well i'm a little hopeful. When looking at other countries who have come out of lockdown, they haven't had much, if any significant rise in cases.

Under normal rules, yes but we no longer use those rules.

No doubt a YouGov poll will come out next week that shows the Tory Party have extended their lead over Labour

Shapps going under the bus again this morning. Almost feel sorry for him.

There is absolutely no way I feel any sympathy for Michael Green, having form for breaching ministerial codes and covering up indiscretions and lying in office.

“To be absolutely clear, I don’t have a second job and I have never had a second job whilst being an MP. End of story.”

Shapps:

"We have never told people where to locate themselves"

I must have imagined the whole STAY AT HOME message then.

Andrew Marr - Guidance from the 22nd of March says - People must remain in their primary residence for isolation purposes... Dominic Cummings did not do that.

Grant shapps - We've never told people where they have to specifically locate themselves.

Andrew Marr - You have..

It's incredible. Orwellian stuff.

Obviously if you ignore the direct advise about staying at home then they haven't

The new world. It no longer matters what you have said and even if there is proof you said it EVERYWHERE, if you deny it enough people will get bored, forget it happened and move on.

if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it to be true.

How scared should we be of Coronavirus?

Boxer brushes this off, but Clover remembers that there was a rule against sleeping in beds. She asks Muriel to read her the commandment about beds to confirm, but it now reads that no animal will sleep in a bed with sheets. Clover doesn’t remember this, but since it’s in writing, she reasons that it must’ve always been this way.

SNP have called on him to go along with 7 Tory MPs. Nothing from Labour at all. I'm assuming there's a strategy.

Covid19 doesn't always produce IgG antibodies, I think. This may mean antibody tests aren't the game changer we thought they were

Labour are probably happy for him to stay in situ, it is damaging?

12:13; Cummings arrives at Downing Street presumably to brief Boris on what to do next.

Labour have called for Boris to attend today's press conference.
