Evening Standard Two of Boris Johnson’s closest aides have laid bare the chaos and dysfunction in Government as coronavirus presented the biggest crisis the UK has seen since 1945.
Lee Cain, who was No 10’s director of communications, said it the “wrong crisis” for Mr Johnson to deal with as prime minister.
Dominic Cummings, who was Mr Johnson’s top adviser, took aim at much of the Government during the “nightmare” of the pandemic as he gave evidence to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.
Appearing in an unironed shirt, he had to apologise for calling ministers “useless f***pigs, morons, c****” but said his language only “understated” their competence.
