Police have paid a visit to Dominic Cummings’ London address

Police were filmed by reporters who were outside Cummings’ house in London

Two police officers have been seen knocking on the door at Dominic Cummings' London address after the latest allegations of his lockdown violation.

There was no answer and the officers walked away moments later.

This comes after the revelations that the Prime Minister’s chief adviser broke lockdown rules by travelling 260 miles to Durham while his wife was symptomatic of self isolate.

It was later revealed that he made the trip more than once, with eyewitnesses saying that they saw him in Barnard Castle on Easter Sunday, thirty miles outside of Durham.

Downing Street has said it would "not waste time" replying to the fresh allegations from "campaigning newspapers".

Speaking at the daily Downing Street briefing, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, added Mr Cummings had "stayed put for 14 days" while residing at a family property, having pre-empted his own illness once his wife showed Covid-19 symptoms.

Boris Johnson will be facing the British Press at 5pm today (Sunday, May 24) at the daily coronavirus briefing amid calls for Dominic Cummings to be sacked.
