A doctor who missed his dad’s funeral to obey lockdown rules ignored by sneaky Dominic Cummings yesterday said he was “flabbergasted, disgusted and appalled” at the Tory adviser.

“I’m enraged he felt it was OK to do this while I, and many others, have had to go through hell,” said neuroscientist Dean Burnett, 37, a dad-of-two.

“When my dad Peter contracted Covid-19, I couldn’t see him. When he went to hospital, I couldn’t visit him. And when he passed away, I couldn’t be there.

“I’ve endured the worst emotional pain of my life. All because of the lockdown. Yet I stick to it, as I can’t imagine ever inflicting this pain on anyone else. I need to be there for my wife and two small children while in intense grief, because nobody can help us out.”

Today Dean is one of many Britons infuriated by Cummings’ two 260-mile secret trips to his parents in Durham – from ordinary people to stars like JK Rowling.
