It came 20 minutes after PM Boris Johnson had his daily coronavirus press conference in which he defended under-fire aide Dominic Cummings
Mr Cummings, said to be one of the key figures behind the government's 'Stay at Home' message, is accused of breaking the coronavirus lockdown twice
Shortly after, the Government confirmed an investigation has been launched into who posted the “unauthorised tweet”.
Former England footballer Gary Lineker saw the news of an investigation as a chance to parody the UK prime minister's response to Cummings' break of lockdown.
