If Dominic Cummings will not resign, should the Prime Minister sack him?

Parliament must undertake an objective review of whether Mr Cummings’ actions set a precedent for people not to do their “civic duty”, with the likely knock on detrimental effect upon the health of the nation and a reduction in trust in the government and the principles it is supposed to uphold.

We can’t accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for someone to lose their job. Taking disciplinary action or firing someone is a matter for individual employers to take in line with employment law and the employer’s HR policies.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Lockdown breaches by Government officials must be treated as Gross Misconduct: Lockdown breaches by Government officials must be treated as Gross Misconduct

Public Inquiry into consistent enforcement of lockdown rules: Public Inquiry into consistent enforcement of lockdown rules
