Lots of you have sent in questions about the Dominic Cummings affair. Here’s what we have been able to fact check:

On Monday, when addressing the press, Mr Cummings claimed: "Last year, I wrote about the possible threat of coronaviruses and the urgent need for planning." 

However, his blog on pandemics from last year was only updated to include a paragraph on coronaviruses on 14 April this year.

Multiple social media posts have also claimed that Dominic Cummings has a sister called Alice Cummings, who is a director at a company that runs the new track and trace app and was involved in the UK’s postal vote system. 

This is not correct. The Alice Cummings in question is not related to the government adviser and her company is not involved in delivering the track and trace app.

And finally, a popular Facebook post wrongly identified Dominic Cummings in a photograph of Oxford University's Bullingdon Club from 1987.

Although Mr Cummings did enter Oxford University in 1991, he was not a contemporary of Boris Johnson and David Cameron, nor is there any evidence he was in the Bullingdon Club as suggested by this post.
