Former prime minister denies he made major mistakes and defends top team during full day of questioning
Boris Johnson has admitted there were decisions his government “could and should have done” 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.
In his long-anticipated evidence to the official Covid inquiry, the former prime minister even insisted a Downing Street culture widely described as toxic and dysfunctional in fact led to better decisions.
