Rishi Sunak at the Covid Inquiry has been condensed so you can see the farce it was and he has been slammed by Carol Voderman and many others.
Inquiry
The inquiry is examining Britain’s response to the pandemic which killed more than 230,000 people in the country. It has heard that the government of then-prime minister Boris Johnson was gripped by infighting and incompetence, and unable to make a decision, reported Reuters.
Rishi Sunak At Covid Inquiry
He said that “Eat out to help out” took place within guidelines for the safe re-opening of hospitality which had happened in July and that was why the policy went ahead.
“My primary concern was protecting millions of jobs of particularly vulnerable people who worked in this industry (hospitality),” Sunak told the inquiry.
WhatsApp Messages
Lead counsel Hugo Keith KC asked the prime minister about his phone and his claim he did not have access to any of the WhatsApp messages sent during the crisis.
Sunak replied: “No, I don’t. I’ve changed my phone multiple times over the past few years and, as that has happened, the messages have not come across.
“As you said, I’m not a prolific user of WhatsApp in the first instance – primarily communication with my private office and obviously anything that was of significance through those conversations or exchanges would have been recorded officially by my civil servants, as one would expect.”

Carol Voderman
Carol Voderman wrote: “Rishi Sunak can’t remember much about the biggest crisis to hit this country in a lifetime. Unfit for office?”
