British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's top aide Dominic Cummings defied calls to resign on Monday over allegations that he broke coronavirus rules and undermined the government's response to the health crisis. Britain was then recording hundreds of deaths daily and following strict lockdown rules requiring people with even the slightest symptoms to stay at home for at least a week. "I can understand why people might ask for resignations," Johnson told reporters. The ConservativeHome website published a rolling list of MPs from Johnson's Conservative party who have publicly called for Cummings to be dismissed. "The moral question is not for Cummings - it is for the PM and ministers/MPs who find this behaviour acceptable," the bishop tweeted.
