Donald Tusk quips about Brexit mastermind Cummings and his trip
“This is apparently Cummings and his Brexit friends' rule: that they leave when they should stay,” Donald Tusk said on Tuesday. A senior European Union politician couldn't help a Brexit quip as he waded into Britain's row over Dominic Cummings, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's top adviser and mastermind of leaving the bloc who is accused of violating coronavirus travel curbs.
Cummings refused to resign on Monday, saying he had done nothing wrong by driving 425km to northern England when Britain was under a strict lockdown.
“This is apparently Cummings and his Brexit friends' rule: that they leave when they should stay,” Donald Tusk, currently the head of the EU's largest political family, said on Tuesday.
Tusk was a key EU figure during the tortuous Brexit negotiations until becoming the head of the centre-right EPP in late 2019.
As the chairman of EU leaders, he made no secret of his deep misgivings about Brexit and was often seen as stretching the boundaries of his official role to try to keep Britain in the union.
But on Jan 31, 2020, Britain became the first country to ever leave the bloc.
Johnson - a leading face of the Brexit campaign - and Cummings are now keen to wrap up Britain's status-quo transition at the end of the year and take the country out of the EU orbit altogether.

This Caledonian clown went from heavily infected London to Skye, where acute healthcare infrastructure is weak.
For no good reason at all.
And yet he is one of the most vociferous critics of Cummings travels.
A case of politically motivated hypocrisy if ever there was one.
As for Tusk, even the Poles don’t want him back, he will just have to serve out his time in Brussels on his bloated EU package.
One of the greatest and most satisfying aspects of Brexit, is knowing we will no longer be footing the bill for this bunch of Fraggles.
