DOWNING Street confirmed earlier today that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's aide, Dominic Cummings, will make a public statement this afternoon.
There have been calls for PM's chief adviser to be sacked over allegations he breached coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
It has now been revealed that Mr Cummings will make his statement aty 4pm.
It will be in the Rose Garden, at 10 Downing Street.
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.
Further reports also suggested he took a second trip to the North East in April, having already returned to London following his recovery from Covid-19 – a disease which has seen more than 45,000 people in the UK die after contracting it.
