The rumour mill is buzzing this morning over which cabinet minister has gone into self-isolation, with the press agreeing not to name them until their test comes back around midday. In the meantime, a slight farce has sparked over at Westminster Digital – the firm which specialises in making videos for MPs – as founder Craig Dillon has had to self-isolate for a second time over Coronavirus scares.
