Amber Rudd – 2020 Comments on the Behaviour of Dominic Cummings
Below is the text of the comments made by Amber Rudd, the former Home Secretary, in an interview with Robert Peston on 27 May 2020.
He should quit because he’s making things worse. People have been great during the lockdown. In a really difficult period, they have complied. And now they’re confused and that makes them angry and I think that will have consequences.
So when he thinks, as any of us working in government must, ‘am I adding here, am I helping?’ he can only conclude that his presence is making things worse at a time when we’re already in a crisis.
