"Lives could have been saved during Covid if representatives from London had not been excluded from a series of early emergency meetings about the virus by Boris Johnson's Downing Street, the capital's mayor has said."
"The Labour mayor said that when he was eventually allowed to attend a Cobra meeting on 16 March, being told about the likely impact of Covid left him almost winded, given his lack of prior knowledge."
"Those views weren't heard. London in particular, he argued, had a greater population than Scotland and Wales combined, plus millions travelling each day by public transport. How many around Cobra knew about issues around diversity, comorbidity, intergenerational households, overcrowded accommodation? he said."
