Michael Gove warned that the government was f***ing up its Covid response at the height of the pandemic and would regret it for a long time, bombshell new WhatsApp messages reveal.
Mr Gove began his evidence on Tuesday by apologising to the families who endured so much loss as a result of the mistakes that were made by government admitting ministers were too slow into lockdown and failed to bring in a rigorous testing strategy.
On yet another explosive day at the official Covid inquiry, it emerged: Mr Gove wanted the first lockdown sooner and pushed for quicker action to tackle the second wave He defended Mr Johnson's gladiatorial style but said it took the then-PM a little longer to make decisions than others Mr Cummings said people in government should be shot for failings at the height of the pandemic The ex-adviser also joked about wanting a trip to the countryside before his infamous Barnard Castle visit Mr Gove suggested Covid-19 was man-made prompting a rebuke from the inquiry's KC.
