Показать описание
FROM THE BBC:
The UK's top civil servant told colleagues in private that Boris Johnson "cannot lead" at the height of the Covid pandemic.
In WhatsApp messages from September 2020 disclosed to the Covid inquiry, Simon Case said the former PM "changes strategic direction every day".
He added that he was making government "impossible," and "we cannot support him in leading with this approach".
"I am at the end of my tether," he wrote, calling other ministers "weak".
In a day of explosive evidence, one of Mr Johnson's former aides also said he thought Mr Johnson had questioned why the economy was being destroyed "for people who will die anyway soon".
The aide, Imran Shafi, told the inquiry he believed the former PM had made the remark during a meeting with then-chancellor Rishi Sunak in March 2020, around the time of the UK's first lockdown.
