Emily Maitlis has re-lit the fire about the Newsnight show which included the opening remarks "“Dominic Cummings broke the rules. The country can see that, and it’s shocked the government cannot.”
"The call from Downing Street came in, and within a four-hour window an apology was given", she tells Press Gazette. "It hasn’t ever been explained to me what was journalistically inaccurate about that." She also the complaint wasn't from Cummings: "He sent me a very funny text separately which was supportive."
“It’s funny to see something like [the Cummings apology statement] happen so quickly when a corporation can take up to three decades to investigate serious journalistic malfeasance and critical management failings in the Bashir investigation. So I think it’s all a question of priority, really, isn’t it?”
