Key Downing Street figures such as Dominic Cummings, Lee Cain and Helen MacNamara have appeared before the inquiry
A number of key Downing Street figures from the early days of the pandemic have been giving evidence at the Covid Inquiry this week.
It was not just the Prime Minister who came in for criticism, but the Cabinet Office and wider system. Mr Cummings made clear his views about the how the 'dysfunctional system' during a 'meltdown of the British state' failed to deal with the crisis. Half-term holidays It emerged during proceedings there was a 10-day period – coinciding with half-term holidays – in which no notes on coronavirus were sent to Mr Johnson nor emergency Cobra meetings held. The period raises key questions about government preparedness and how seriously it was taking the impending crisis, only weeks out from a lockdown being imposed.
Eat Out to Help Out Rishi Sunak's Eat Out to Help Out scheme also came in for criticism. Mr Cain said that the then-chancellor's plan and the policy of sending people back to work during the pandemic 'made absolutely no sense whatsoever'.
