Why the Cummings crisis is now all about how Johnson governs

Danny Kruger, the young Tory MP who is an old friend of Dominic Cummings and his spouse, got it right last night.

So as another Tory MP told me - a grandee no less - this is now all about the PM himself and how he governs. It is about why Boris Johnson rates Cummings so highly, and why he needs him at the centre of his government.

After laying down extensive road, railway and fibre-optic networks and deploying military forces over years, now, China is trying to stop India from doing the same on the Indian side.

A nationwide list should be prepared on urgent basis "to identity and accurately tally the total number of migrant labourers who continue to be stranded" amid coronavirus lockdown, the Congress said today in a petition filed in the Supreme Court.

SC's order about stranded migrants workers is a good step

Dear Editor,. It is noticeable to say that a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court on May 26 said there have been "Inadequacies and certain lapses" on the part of the Central and State governments in dealing with the migrant workers crisis during the lockdown. Newspaper reports and other media reports have been continuously showing the unfortunate and miserable conditions of migrant workers walking on the foot and cycling for the long distance", the Court stated. Adding "Effective concentrated efforts were required to redeem the situation". So I suppose that, although, SC's this step is late, but is better, because lakhs of people are forced on the roads and footpaths to walk on the foot, no one is ready to help them except some people. Really, it was time to help them, but it shouldn't happen, on which, many of them have died because of starvation, long distance and accidents. Now the govt must stand to help them. --Jauhar Mumbai
