    How has De Marco been allowed to get away with attending when I wouldn't class that as essential travel?

    The only thing I can think of is that he was classed as attending work. This one is probably significant. Why have a meeting in person when you can do it via Zoom?

    Maybe he snuck in and nobody knows he was there.

    Attending work in a national lockdown for a business meeting is not essential.

    Pity he tweeted it. Or was he pretending to be there and just showing off?

    Having been restricted to the same conditions was why I was questioning it earlier

    He's obviously had legal advice before attending and he would be in trouble with the bar council....

    The only thing I can think of for the reason why he was there
    Was to judge the value of the Business and the potential financial loss for Ashley <laugh>

    No one should be allowed to go to business meetings. They can be done through video calls.

    Apparently, the bar, has an exemption.

    Meetings that can only be carried out face to face are exempt.

    It could be an exchange of sensitive material, or De Marco had something to show them in person and needed to discuss. Or, a compromise.

    This sounds more and more significant.
