Boris Johnson to face more questions at UK Covid inquiry – live

Former PM denied he made major mistakes during pandemic on first day of his evidence to the inquiry

Good morning. Boris Johnson is returning to the UK Covid inquiry today to face further questions on his government’s handling of the pandemic.

Yesterday, he admitted that there were decisions that his government “could and should have” made to stop the spread of coronavirus but denied he had made major mistakes and attempted to defend the chaotic and abusive culture in his top team.
