AN article about lockdown by Dominic Cummings' wife has been reported to the press regulator.

Mary Wakefield’s Spectator column, which described the period from March 30 to April 6, detailed the family's battle with coronavirus before they emerged from quarantine “into the almost comical uncertainty of London lockdown”.

The 1000-word column makes no mention of the 250-mile trip from London to Durham and describes the challenges of caring for their son while suffering the symptoms of Covid-19.

“This might be my only really useful advice for other double-Covid parents or single mothers with pre-schoolers: get out the doctor’s kit and make it your child’s job to take your temperature.

“Any game that involves lying down is a good game.”

A spokesperson for the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) told the Guardian it had received two complaints from members of the public about potential factual inaccuracies in the column.

This means The Spectator could have to publish a correction.

Wakefield started writing for the magazine 20 years ago when Boris Johnson was editor.
