CREDIT to Cleethorpes MP Martin Vickers who has now made his position clear on the controversy involving the Prime Minister's top aide.
He believes Dominic Cummings should have stepped down from the Government.
He is one of 17 Tory MPs who believe Mr Cummings' failure to abide by lockdown guidelines should have cost him his position.
In an email response to a constituent, he wrote: “While it is possible to interpret the guidance to allow what he did as acceptable, the reality is that, in politics, it is perception that will usually matter more.
"In political terms, he was foolish and should not have acted as he did
"I have made my views clear to the Chief Whip.
"I certainly would not have behaved as he has done, and I will be surprised if he survives."
Meanwhile, in an interview with Sky TV, the Cleethorpes MP said Mr Cummings had, by his actions, undermined the Government message on lockdown.
He added: "He should have done the decent thing and stepped down."
The views of Grimsby MP Lia Nici are not yet known.
