Former top official Helen MacNamara tells Covid inquiry women were sidelined in male-dominated No 10.
A "macho" culture in Downing Street harmed the UK's response to the Covid pandemic, a top official from the time has said.
She hit the headlines again this week, when it emerged Mr Cummings told colleagues on WhatsApp during the crisis he wanted to "personally handcuff her and escort her from the building". Giving evidence to the inquiry on Tuesday, Mr Cummings accepted his language was "deplorable" but denied he had been misogynistic, adding: "I was much ruder about men."In her own evidence, Ms MacNamara described a "macho, confident" environment within government when Covid struck in early 2020, with an "unbelievably bullish" approach about the UK's ability to respond.
She also wrote that a "disproportionate amount of attention" was given to the impact of lockdown on "male pursuits," citing football, hunting, shooting and fishing. She also accused Downing Street of "lying" about parties, in its initial response to the Partygate scandal
