Corbyn Can But Cummings Can't

Now Corbyn is at it:Jeremy Corbyn is pictured 'flouting social distancing ruleshttps://mol.im/a/8363289Why no media outrage?  Has there been a Twitter storm?  Why not?

Yes. I seem to recall that his champions here were the ones banging on and on about the the unelected EU officials.

"Why no media outrage?"Because Corbyn is finished business. Labour has been defused. My guess is that Corbyn did not approach the guy but the guy approached him, and Corbyn foolishly did not take a step back.

Isn't Cummings the most powerful unelected person in the country?

Of course it's obvious but Sue loves the two wrongs make a right line of argument. Cant win with that kind of school yard standard of debate.

That's pretty obvious, Sue, isn't it? Cummings is probably the most powerful person in the UK as he's telling Johnson what to do (and Johnson's obviously in desperate need of his guidance); Corbyn is now becoming a footnote in history, who cares what he does? One might view it as stupid but if he was approached by the other person it probably wasn't Corbyn's deliberate action anyway? Useful someone else was on hand to take a photo ...  perhaps Corbyn needs some police to keep the public at their distance like Cummings has now? 🙂
