The police chief who carried out the investigation into Dominic Cummings is now facing an inquiry over her force’s handling of the matter, The Telegraph can reveal.

Durham Police have received a number of complaints from members of the public angry at the way the investigation was dealt with.

The complaints came after the force announced that Mr Cummings might have committed a minor breach of the lockdown rules when he drove to Barnard Castle on Easter Sunday.

It is understood some of the complaints are against Durham’s Chief Constable, Jo Farrell, who was appointed to the top job last summer.

The complaints have been passed to the Force’s professional standards department and they will now be assessed before a decision is made whether to take the matters further.

Omah, When there are approx 45 million people in the U.K. eligible to sign the petition. That figure of signatures is hardly a result.

More like a spit in the ocean, if you ask me!

A Guardian analysis covering 117 MPs found they have received a total of 31,738 emails since a joint Guardian and Daily Mirror investigation a week ago divulged that Cummings had travelled to County Durham and taken a trip to a beauty spot with his family after suffering coronavirus symptoms.

If that level of correspondence was reflected across all 650 MPs, it would suggest the revelations may have sparked as many as 180,000 items of correspondence. The numbers were either provided in response to the Guardian’s request for figures, or in statements MPs had released to constituents.

Several Conservative MPs in marginal seats said they had received more than 1,000 emails about Cummings, in some cases dwarfing their majority. While the average number of emails each MP got was 271, the Tory MPs analysed by the Guardian received 590 each on average.

Sir Roger Gale, Conservative MP for North Thanet, who was among the first to say Cummings’ job was no longer tenable, said: “I’ve had between 700 and 800 emails, and half of those are constituents, half of those are from other people. About 85% are critical [of him], and 15% think I’m the devil incarnate.

“Not one has been computer-generated, they are all individual observations. This is not about Brexit, or a Labour party campaign, none of this is orchestrated.”

Diana Johnson, Labour MP for Hull North since 2005, said: “Other than Brexit, this is the biggest postbag I’ve had for many years. And it’s still coming in.”

Constituents bombard MPs with tens of thousands of emails over Dominic Cummings

They're only numbers but they're mostly AGAINST Cummings.

I have yet to be made aware, by Cummings' supporters, of sources which can provide equivalent and equal numbers FOR Cummings.
