AN SNP MP has challenged Dominic Cummings over why 13-year-old school children could understand the need to close international borders, but the Government could not.
Anum Qaisar-Javed, who was elected earlier this month in the Airdrie and Shotts by-election, questioned the former senior advisor during his appearance at a Commons committee today.
The former modern studies teacher explained that prior to her election, she had discussed the pandemic handling from a political perspective with her students at an Edinburgh secondary school.
She asked if it was a “fair assessment” that “13-year-old weans” from Edinburgh had a better understanding of the reasons for closing borders to international travellers than the Government.
