covid inquiry
The former health secretary admitted the UK was not prepared for the pandemic.
It shines an interesting light on just how prepared for a pandemic the UK really was before Covid struck.
The ex-PM was asked if he accepts he "failed" to prepare the country for Covid.
It's worth remembering the bigger picture, too.
It's clear the effects of the pandemic remain raw.
The cabinet office warned Boris Johnson it will pull public funding for his legal advice if he “undermines the government’s position”.
The former prime minister has bypassed the government which is trying to prevent the material being handed over.
It follows a row between the government and the official inquiry into the pandemic.
"You will have to pay our legal fees and we won’t tell you how big they will be," government tells grieving families.
