Former Government advisor Dominic Cummings has bought a cottage on Holy Island which he is now renovating, according to reports.
The ex-senior aide to Boris Johnson, whose infamous trip to Barnard Castle in County Durham made headlines during lockdown, has purchased a £161,000 home on the Lindisfarne beauty spot which is said to have sparked anger and even "outrage" amongst its 147 inhabitants.
According to The Mirror, the welcome has been less than warm for the former Downing Street strategist, with one resident saying they were "outraged" and another that 50-year-old Cummings had a "supercilious" air about him.
