Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has denied saying it was "OK" to let people die of coronavirus, when asked by Labour MP Tulip Siddiq about a diary entry shared with the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

The Prime Minister was asked about a diary entry by Sir Patrick Vallance, who was the UK Government’s chief scientific adviser during the pandemic, that was shared with the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

The extract from October 25 2020 read that Boris Johnson, when he was prime minister, had argued for “letting” Covid “rip” through the population as ministers debated a second lockdown in England.

The same entry has Sir Patrick recording that Dominic Cummings, Mr Johnson’s most senior adviser at the time, as having said: “Rishi thinks just let people die and that’s OK.”

During Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, Labour MP Tulip Siddiq said she was “shocked that Downing Street didn’t categorically deny” the comments when asked about them by reporters last week.

Yes there is public enquiry, so I can't be prosecuted by law. Criminal know how to hide from prosecution.
