The fact that Johnson and Sunak can both fail to hand over WhatsApp messages and face zero consequences when compelled by a court to do so is a travesty. There should be criminal charges and uproar. Why isn't there?
The Covid Inquiry

I did listen to a couple of hours of it and the thing which struck me was the ease with which he was allowed to get away with.... not remembering certain things... almost without question.
It was just like his answerers during PMQ. And heaping most of the blame on the science community especially SAGE.
Hopefully tomorrow will see a bit more rigour in the questioning.
Why indeed.
Boris Johnson tactics at the COVID Inquiry are very clear. Keep on talking so as to limit the opportunity for more questions.
And where he finds himself in difficulty, say that he can not remember.

Everybody knows why and nobody will do anything about it.
Goodness me. I thought Boris was bad, but Sunak is even worse, saying he can not recall specific issues. And continually saying....we were following the science. In other words, nothing to do with me.gov.uk. Slippery bugger keeps on talking in order to waste as much time as possible despite being repeatedly asked to keep his answers short and specific.
Slimeball isn't he.
A slimeball of the highest order. Trying to be a Teflon slimeball.
Sunak was born to be a politician. Everything about him says politician (for good or bad). Compared to lets say Boris Johnson who looks more likely to be a hobo.
His answer to EOTHO is straight up BS. The literal point of it was to incentivise people to go out to eat in restaurants in groups, leading inevitably to an increase in transmission, which the scientists would have undoubtedly said had they been consulted.
I didn't believe it was a risk so it was fine not to mention it 
how entitled can you get?
how entitled can you get?I think it’s the opposite. The point of being a politician is to be a scumbag but appear somewhere likeable to a group of people. Boris achieves that. Sunak is incapable of deceiving anyone and is universally disliked.
He admitted that he didn't seek scientific approval. Instead, he on his own decided to go ahead with Eat Out To Spread The Virus.I didn't believe it was a risk so it was fine not to mention it
And the risk mitigation was.... social distancing.
And he blamed the scientific team for not raising concerns.
The man is a professional blame merchant. All their fault... nothing to do with me.
The hamster ate my homework.
The amount of lies told by him and Johnson is disgraceful.
A hamster the size of an elephant.
