Cabinet Secretary Simon Case said he believed Carrie Johnson was the real Prime Minister during lockdown, text messages shown at the Covid Inquiry reveal.
The Government has lost its legal challenge against handing over Boris Johnson's unredacted WhatsApp messages, notebooks and diaries to the Covid Inquiry.
Matt Hancock has tried to torpedo the Lockdown Files Live in which I'll be interviewing Isabel Oakeshott live on stage, persuading the venue to pull the plug. But the show will go on!
Every time one pupil tested positive in a class, the whole class was sent home for two weeks. Now we know Matt Hancock rejected advice to cut the isolation period to five days just to save face. Did he not care?
Matt Hancock "glutted on power and too obviously loved himself" says Lord Sumption, in a damning assessment of the "mediocre band of ministers" behind the Government's lockdown policy.
Once the public understand the extent of the deception over climate, and the damage done to the economy and our children's future, the trickery over Covid is going to look peripheral, says Andrew Montford.
The British people, along with the populations of many US states, have henceforth to live with the fact that liberties we call ‘inalienable’ can be cancelled at a moment’s notice for years on end, writes Lionel Shriver.
One reason Oakeshott has been given such a hard time is because she’s not considered 'one of us' by senior journalists. She’s an interloper, but one who appears to be better at her job than them, which is intolerable.
After reading the Lockdown Files, Dr. James Allan says he is still seething mad at what the political class did to us. "And they did it to us without taking a pay cut."
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are whether Matt Hancock or Simon Case is more loathsome, whether Chris Rock is funnier than Dave Chapelle and the right way to eradicate trans ideology.
