The Covid Inquiry has heard how the most senior officials in the Government were driven to the “end of their tether” by Boris Johnson’s “flip flopping” over whether to introduce a Covid lockdown.

Today’s main witness was Mr Johnson’s Principal Private Secretary Martin Reynolds. He was taken to task for setting messages to delete in a crucial Downing Street WhatsApp group just weeks before the inquiry was first announced.
