Junior minister Douglas Ross has set out why he resigned following Dominic Cummings’ defence of his journey to County Durham in the course of the coronavirus lockdown.

The Scotland Workplace minister stated the senior aide’s view of the federal government steerage was “not shared by the overwhelming majority of individuals”.

No 10 stated the prime minister regretted Mr Ross’ determination to face down.

It comes as 30 Tory MPs have joined these calling on Mr Cummings to resign.

Mr Cummings defined on Monday why he drove 260 miles in March from his London house to his mother and father’ farm along with his little one and sick spouse.
