calling for Cummings to be sacked had collected more than 50,000 signatures on Sunday.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps toured the TV studios Sunday to deny the latest allegations from the Observer and Sunday Mirror newspapers, telling the BBC’s Andrew Marr that Cummings would not resign. He also said Cummings had not returned to Durham afterward for a second time. “When he came back to London, which was on 14th April, he has remained in London since and hasn’t been back to Durham, so there are lots of things being said here which are completely untrue,” he told Sky’s Ridge.
Shapps conceded that Cummings’ father had spoken to police — contrary to what the transport secretary had said at a press conference on Saturday. But he said it was the police who had been contacted by Cummings’ father, not the other way round.
