Constituents have flooded the inbox of a Glasgow MP with complaints about Dominic Cummings.
Stewart McDonald, MP for Glasgow South, shared a screenshot of his inbox this morning which "shows that the anger towards Dominic Cummings, the Prime Minister and the Government is definitely not going away".
The emails come a day after Dominic Cummings defended his trip to Durham despite lockdown restrictions in a press conference in the rose garden of 10 Downing Street.
Cummings suggested he behaved "reasonably" and did not regret his actions.
He also said he had not considered resigning and did not offer to do so.

The Glasgow South MP shared that when the story first broke on the weekend he only received eight emails but the government's defence of the actions "fuelled a genuine anger".
In the tweet, he added: "Normally when I receive so many emails about one issue they’re a copy and paste campaign-style email.
"Not this time. The fury is real."

A Scottish MP, Douglas Ross, has now resigned as a government minister over the alleged breach of lockdown rules.
Douglas Ross, parliamentary under-secretary of state for Scotland, wrote in a statement: "I have constituents who didn’t get to say goodbye to loved ones; families who could not mourn together; people who didn’t visit sick relatives because they followed the guidance of the Government.
“I cannot in good faith tell them they were all wrong and one senior adviser to the government was right.”
