The UK’s top civil servant vented that Boris Johnson “cannot lead” amid pandemic-era frustration with the Prime Minister’s leadership, according to WhatsApp messages shared with the Covid-19 inquiry.
Our second witness today, Imran Shafi has now been sworn in and begins his evidence.“He changes strategic direction every day the UK is pathetic, needs a cold shower etc).“Decide and set direction – deliver – explain.It is not the first time that private concerns by Mr Case have made public. The then-leader, according to a note read from the diary of a former private secretary, asked why the economy was being destroyed “for people who will die anyway soon”, in the days before the country went into lockdown.
Taking questions from Hugo Keith KC, lead counsel to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, he was asked about a 10-day spell in February 2020 where there “were no communications by email, by Cobra, by boxed notes, with the prime minister during that 10-day period on coronavirus”. He accepted that Government protocols were “inadequate” and “grossly deficient”, while also pointing to the “unusual dynamic” in Downing Street during that period and the influence of Dominic Cummings.
The former chief scientist’s notebooks also described Mr Cummings’ Downing Street rose garden statement to the media as a “car crash” and “rambling”, and said neither he nor Sir Chris wanted to do a press conference with Mr Johnson afterwards.
