British PM former chief adviser criticises Britain's response to COVID-19

The British Prime Minister’s former chief adviser Dominic Cummings says Britain’s response to COVID-19 has been a failure.

While giving evidence to a parliamentary inquiry on lessons from the pandemic, Mr Cummings said PM Boris Johnson was slow to appreciate the threat the virus posed in 2020.

Mr Cummings also claims Mr Johnson even suggested he could inject himself with the virus on television, to prove it was nothing to fear.
