"In the middle of a pandemic he shattered public trust and undermined lockdown & our fight against Covid.
"His cross-country road trip, long distance eye test, dishonesty & arrogance was an insult to the British people.”
Her colleague, Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth, posted: “NHS staff are working under immense Covid pressures.
"Beds are filling up with ill patients. Relatives with a loved one in a care home are desperate to see their relations.
"And Downing Street is paralysed by the soap opera of these self indulgent spin doctors. It’s pathetic.”
Senior Conservative backbencher Sir Bernard Jenkin said he is not surprised that Dominic Cummings is leaving, adding: “Nobody is indispensable.”
The chairman of the Commons Liaison Committee said: “It’s an opportunity to reset how the Government operates and to emphasise some values about what we want to project as a Conservative Party in Government.
“I would suggest there are three words that need to become the watch words in Downing Street – they are respect, integrity and trust.
“Certainly in the relationship between the Downing Street machine and the parliamentary party there’s been a very strong sense that has been lacking in recent months."
It comes after one of the PM's closest aides, Lee Cain, quit amid a bitter internal power struggle.
Cain, No10's Director of Communication, quit on Wednesday night following a row over the Chief-of-staff position.

thedailymirror--2020-11-13--Wife, 57, torched her £400,000 family home to spite husband after bitter divorce

An embittered wife has been jailed for torching her £400,000 family home to spite her husband after an acrimonious divorce .
Janette Higginson , 57 , rang police herself to say the estranged couple 's semi detached property was alight telling them : `` I ’ m not bothered , I am outside my house now - it ’ s burning , it ’ s up to you.
” Firefighters dashed to the four-bedroomed house where Higginson had lived for 36 years to find her sat outside covered in soot .
It is thought she started the fire using a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before making a failed attempt to douse the flames with water .
The blaze caused £14,500 of damage in the hallway and front room .
Higginson 's immediate neighbours were forced to flee their property but were not injured and their house was not damaged .
It emerged the blaze occurred on the day Higginson had received a solicitor 's letter thought to be regarding the sale of the property .
The blaze was the climax of a bitter hate campaign waged by Higginson in Firwsood , near Chorlton-cum-Hardy , Manchester following the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Steve .
During the campaign she had claimed she had been left out of a family will and made false accusations against relatives - usually whilst fuelled on white wine .
At Minshull Street Crown Court , Manchester , Higginson a businesswoman who worked in the hospitality industry admitted arson and breaching a restraining order and was jailed for 34 months .
The incident occurred on June 11 this year at 2pm .
Prosecutor Lisa Boocock told the hearing : `` The defendant herself rang the police and stated her house was on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m not bothered , I am outside my house it ’ s burning , it ’ s up to you '' .
`` It is a semi-detached house and she had lived there for some time with her husband and they were in the process of getting divorced .
`` The defendant accepts it was a deliberate act out of frustration to some extent it was revenge because of the acrimonious divorce she was going through . ''
Higginson had already been made subject of a restraining order after harassing Mr Higginson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of father in 2018 .
She was angry her estranged husband had not received any inheritance money from his late father and would turn up univited at the home of Mrs Dunphy and her husband Michael and start ‘ kicking off.
’ The victims said their house was vandalised with scratch marks with Higginson also smashing a wine bottle against their front door and shouting abuse at them from the street .
She also harassed a builder who stopped construction work at her house due to her drunken behaviour .
She would also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working and shout : ‘ you took a back hander from the council to get permission for that work . '
Little mitigation was offered for Higginson at the hearing .
But at an earlier trial Higginson 's lawyer Emma Hassall said : “ She had ran a successful business and a family home but she lost her job and as a result turned to alcohol .
''Her husband has left their home and removed all his belongings .
He had stopped paying his part of the mortgage and she has cashed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ half the mortgage .
“ She was initially able to keep the house and there was a lot of pressure on her from her husband wanting a divorce and wanting the house selling .
`` There clearly are some issues with anxiety , stress and depression but in the main it has been alcohol issues .
They caused the breakdown of this relationship . ''
Sentencing Higginson Judge John Potter told her : `` You are an intelligent women but your behaviour on the afternoon and evening was nothing more or less than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by self-indulgence and your continued wish to abuse alcohol .
`` Earlier that day you had received a solicitors letter in relation to your impending divorce from your husband and the content of the letter caused you distress .
`` Not for the first time in your life you decided to resort to consuming large quantities of alcohol to deal with this distress and you well knew it would turn you into a dangerous , destructive , violent , foul-mouthed menace . ''
The judge added : `` Your house was significantly damaged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where you had started it .
On arrest , your behaviour was described as erratic and aggressive and to put it bluntly that ’ s an understatement .
Whilst at the hospital having care administered to you , you began screaming highly inappropriate language at the police officers falsely claiming you were being bullied .
`` This behaviour was at a time when our hospitals where placed under additional stress and strain with having to deal with the current pandemic .
`` You have three children who are now adults who support you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are a credit to you .
It 's a great pity you at this stage in your life are unable to reciprocate this . ''

Higginson's immediate neighbours were forced to flee their property but were not injured and their house was not damaged.
It emerged the blaze occurred on the day Higginson had received a solicitor's letter thought to be regarding the sale of the property.
The blaze was the climax of a bitter hate campaign waged by Higginson in Firwsood, near Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester following the collapse of her 27-year marriage to husband Steve.
During the campaign she had claimed she had been left out of a family will and made false accusations against relatives - usually whilst fuelled on white wine.
At Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester, Higginson a businesswoman who worked in the hospitality industry admitted arson and breaching a restraining order and was jailed for 34 months.
The incident occurred on June 11 this year at 2pm. Prosecutor Lisa Boocock told the hearing: ''The defendant herself rang the police and stated her house was on fire. She said, “I’m not bothered, I am outside my house it’s burning, it’s up to you''.

"It is a semi-detached house and she had lived there for some time with her husband and they were in the process of getting divorced.
"The defendant accepts it was a deliberate act out of frustration to some extent it was revenge because of the acrimonious divorce she was going through."

Higginson had already been made subject of a restraining order after harassing Mr Higginson's sister Tracey Dunphy following the passing of father in 2018.
She was angry her estranged husband had not received any inheritance money from his late father and would turn up univited at the home of Mrs Dunphy and her husband Michael and start ‘kicking off.’
The victims said their house was vandalised with scratch marks with Higginson also smashing a wine bottle against their front door and shouting abuse at them from the street.

She also harassed a builder who stopped construction work at her house due to her drunken behaviour.
She would also attend at other addresses where he was working and shout: ‘you took a back hander from the council to get permission for that work.'
Little mitigation was offered for Higginson at the hearing. But at an earlier trial Higginson's lawyer Emma Hassall said: “She had ran a successful business and a family home but she lost her job and as a result turned to alcohol.
''Her husband has left their home and removed all his belongings. He had stopped paying his part of the mortgage and she has cashed in her pension and made arrangements to pay half the mortgage.
“She was initially able to keep the house and there was a lot of pressure on her from her husband wanting a divorce and wanting the house selling.
"There clearly are some issues with anxiety, stress and depression but in the main it has been alcohol issues. They caused the breakdown of this relationship.''

Sentencing Higginson Judge John Potter told her: "You are an intelligent women but your behaviour on the afternoon and evening was nothing more or less than a disgrace. It was inspired throughout by self-indulgence and your continued wish to abuse alcohol.
"Earlier that day you had received a solicitors letter in relation to your impending divorce from your husband and the content of the letter caused you distress.
"Not for the first time in your life you decided to resort to consuming large quantities of alcohol to deal with this distress and you well knew it would turn you into a dangerous, destructive, violent, foul-mouthed menace."
The judge added: "Your house was significantly damaged by the fire particularly in the room where you had started it. On arrest, your behaviour was described as erratic and aggressive and to put it bluntly that’s an understatement. Whilst at the hospital having care administered to you, you began screaming highly inappropriate language at the police officers falsely claiming you were being bullied.
"This behaviour was at a time when our hospitals where placed under additional stress and strain with having to deal with the current pandemic.
"You have three children who are now adults who support you and contribute positively to their communities and are a credit to you. It's a great pity you at this stage in your life are unable to reciprocate this."

thedailymirror--2020-11-13--Drink-driver lay dead for six hours after crashing on M5 and rolling into bush

A boozy driver crashed into a central reservation before disappearing down an embankment in his car where he lay dead in his car for six hours , an inquest heard .
Shaun Gorman , 32 , was driving his silver Vauxhall Corsa along the M5 when he smashed into the barrier and careered through the bushes and into a tree .
The tragic crash happened shortly after 11pm on August 7 , 2019 , but Mr Gorman was not found until daybreak the following morning .
A lorry driver spotted the wreckage shortly before 5.30am and called the police , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Gloucester Coroners Court heard Mr Gorman had probably fallen asleep at the wheel due to the combined effects of drinking and taking a sedative medication prescribed to help tackle his alcohol addiction .
Paramedic Thomas Robertson , the first medic on the scene , told the inquest : '' The roof of the vehicle had been caved in with such force that the occupant was still in the driver 's seat , but the seat had been flattened and was now laying back into the rear seat .
`` The driver 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hard against his chest , pinned down by the compressed roof .
`` The occupant had died a number of hours before being found and further interference with the scene was unnecessary .
I documented that Mr Gorman 's life was extinct at 6.02am on August 8 , 2019 . ''
Mr Gorman had joined the motorway at Bromsgrove and was driving south near Cheltenham at the time of the crash .
The inquest was told Mr Gorman collided with the central reservation before rebounding at 90 degrees across the carriageway and hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down the embankment .
Post mortem tests showed he was around one-and-a half times over the drink drive limit at the time and had taken a high dosage of medication prescribed to help him deal with alcohol withdrawal .
Gloucestershire Police 's collision investigator PC Peter Stone told the inquest Mr Gorman 's Corsa rolled over when it struck a concrete ditch .
He said : `` He collided with several small trees as the vehicle travelled down an embankment .
`` As the car reached the bottom of the embankment the nearside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Corsa to roll over .
`` It came to rest against a mature tree , which caused extensive damage to the roof of the vehicle . ''
PC Stone said he could not find any evidence of another vehicle being involved or of any wild animal or other hazard on the motorway .
The inquest was told that Mr Gorman was being treated for alcohol addiction and was prescribed chlordiazepoxide , also known as Librium .
Pathologist Professor Neil Shepherd , who carried out the post mortem , said Mr Gorman was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alcohol levels in his blood .
He said : `` A considerable amount of ethanol was detected in Mr Gorman 's blood - an amount that exceeded the limit for driving .
`` Other drugs were also found at therapeutic levels along with chlordiazepoxide which was said to be very high . ''
Prof Shepherd added : `` Chlordiazepoxide and alcohol should not be taken together as they have depressant effects which would have affected Mr Gorman 's driving ability and would have been a contributory factor in the incident .
`` The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ injuries . ''
Assistant Gloucestershire coroner Roland Wooderson said Mr Gorman had been evaluated as being one-and-a-half times over the drink drive limit .
He agreed that Mr Gorman had most likely fallen asleep whilst driving , having consumed a quantity of alcohol which had reacted with the chlordiazepoxide .
Mr Wooderson said : `` Mr Gorman had woken up as the car entered the central reservation following which he lost control of the vehicle and ultimately died from his multiple injuries sustained in the collision that followed . ''

Shaun Gorman, 32, was driving his silver Vauxhall Corsa along the M5 when he smashed into the barrier and careered through the bushes and into a tree.
The tragic crash happened shortly after 11pm on August 7, 2019, but Mr Gorman was not found until daybreak the following morning.
A lorry driver spotted the wreckage shortly before 5.30am and called the police, when his body was discovered still inside.
Gloucester Coroners Court heard Mr Gorman had probably fallen asleep at the wheel due to the combined effects of drinking and taking a sedative medication prescribed to help tackle his alcohol addiction.
Paramedic Thomas Robertson, the first medic on the scene, told the inquest:
"The roof of the vehicle had been caved in with such force that the occupant was still in the driver's seat, but the seat had been flattened and was now laying back into the rear seat.
"The driver's head was flexed forward with his chin hard against his chest, pinned down by the compressed roof.
"The occupant had died a number of hours before being found and further interference with the scene was unnecessary. I documented that Mr Gorman's life was extinct at 6.02am on August 8, 2019."
Mr Gorman had joined the motorway at Bromsgrove and was driving south near Cheltenham at the time of the crash.
The inquest was told Mr Gorman collided with the central reservation before rebounding at 90 degrees across the carriageway and hard shoulder and then disappearing out of sight down the embankment.
Post mortem tests showed he was around one-and-a half times over the drink drive limit at the time and had taken a high dosage of medication prescribed to help him deal with alcohol withdrawal.
Gloucestershire Police's collision investigator PC Peter Stone told the inquest Mr Gorman's Corsa rolled over when it struck a concrete ditch.
He said: "He collided with several small trees as the vehicle travelled down an embankment.
"As the car reached the bottom of the embankment the nearside wheels entered a concrete ditch which caused the Corsa to roll over.
"It came to rest against a mature tree, which caused extensive damage to the roof of the vehicle."

The inquest was told that Mr Gorman was being treated for alcohol addiction and was prescribed chlordiazepoxide, also known as Librium.
Pathologist Professor Neil Shepherd, who carried out the post mortem, said Mr Gorman was over the drink drive limit according to alcohol levels in his blood.
He said: "A considerable amount of ethanol was detected in Mr Gorman's blood - an amount that exceeded the limit for driving.
"Other drugs were also found at therapeutic levels along with chlordiazepoxide which was said to be very high."
Prof Shepherd added: "Chlordiazepoxide and alcohol should not be taken together as they have depressant effects which would have affected Mr Gorman's driving ability and would have been a contributory factor in the incident.
"The final cause of death however was multiple injuries."
Assistant Gloucestershire coroner Roland Wooderson said Mr Gorman had been evaluated as being one-and-a-half times over the drink drive limit.
He agreed that Mr Gorman had most likely fallen asleep whilst driving, having consumed a quantity of alcohol which had reacted with the chlordiazepoxide.
Mr Wooderson said: "Mr Gorman had woken up as the car entered the central reservation following which he lost control of the vehicle and ultimately died from his multiple injuries sustained in the collision that followed."

With coronavirus cases around the world now at over 52 million , scientists have been working around the clock to develop a vaccine .
A vaccine created at the University of Oxford has been tipped as the front-runner in the fight against Covid-19 , and now one volunteer from the trial has revealed exactly what it ’ s like .
Lois Clay Baker , 26 , from London , is an ongoing participant of the six-month Oxford University Covid-19 vaccine trial .
As a final year medical student , Ms Baker was invited to take part in the trial back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I took part because I 'm a medical student and I 'm interested in global health/public health , so I was excited to be part of this research even if its only in a very small way .

“ The trial was specifically looking for healthcare workers at that point so I think for me and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was a no-brainer .
We saw the effects of Covid and wanted to help in any way that we could.
” At the start of the trial , Ms Baker completed an exposure questionnaire before being vaccinated for either Covid-19 or for the control , meningitis - she does not know which .
Since then , she has kept an electronic diary , taking her temperature daily and noting any symptoms and medication she has taken .
While many participants were likely worried about any potential side effects , Ms Baker says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerns going into the trial .
“ I did n't really have any concerns about the trial , ” she said .
“ They explained it was based on an existing vaccine and had very recently gone through extensive safety testing .

” The Oxford University trial is currently in Phase III , with results expected any week now .
If a vaccine does become available , it could start rolling out before Christmas , according to Matt Hancock .
