Justice secretary Robert Buckland breaks cabinet omertà by criticising controversial Barnard Castle visit
Dominic Cummings’s notorious trip to Barnard Castle in March was a “deeply unfortunate episode” that undermined the government’s coronavirus message, the justice secretary, Robert Buckland, has admitted.
Appearing on the BBC’s Question Time on Thursday, Buckland was asked by the host, Fiona Bruce, if he thought the former chief Downing Street adviser broke the guidelines.
