AN SNP MP has suggested that the story of Dominic Cummings travelling 250 miles during lockdown could be a smokescreen.
Ronnie Cowan, who represents Inverclyde, tweeted that the Westminster Government could be hiding something much bigger.
He said: "I have many concerns around the entire Cummings fiasco including what’s the story the @GOVUK don’t want us to be concentrating on?"

Boris Johnson's top aide denied he had broken the “spirit” of the rules by travelling 250 miles to his parents' house during lockdown and said he had not offered his resignation to the Prime Minister.
He told a press briefing: “No, I have not offered to resign. I have not considered it.
“I think it’s reasonable to say that other people would have behaved differently, in different ways, in this whole situation."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
