I would say that Cummings is the more believable out of the two.
My MP (Martin Vickers) never responds any more but since I've sent him in the region of 80 emails since the beginning of March, I understand. Still, I feel he needs to understand what (one member of) his constituency is thinking. He always votes the party line irrespective of his beliefs, his moral compass long since broken.

On another covid related note, I didn't know that to travel you needed a PCR test from a private provider. One NHS worker who is tested regularly (by the NHS) found that it wasn't sufficient and was refused boarding. More jobs for Tory friends, perhaps?

I actually think the scene he's setting explains the Barnard Castle debarkle a bit more. If your boss is saying it's all pish, and isn't even attending the meetings (because it's more productive for him not to be there) and others are all on their jollies skiing - why wouldn't you think feck it and nip to a historic castle to visit your fellow ghouls?
