🇬🇧UK: "Rishi Sunak has finished giving his evidence today, and many of the COVID bereaved are left disappointed, he offered words of sorrow but offered no apology to the families."
🇬🇧 UK: Mr Johnson's comments were hurtful to many bereaved families who were attending the inquiry.
Mr Handley said his wife had gone to hospital for routine treatment, having had a compromised immune system for more than 20 years.
She caught COVID while in hospital, he said, and she died there.
"In a second day of testimony on Thursday, it was put to Mr Johnson by the inquiry he had approached events with a "let it rip" strategy, which he denied."
It's a word that, in theory, has practical use. 'I gave Grandpa his heart pills, which I later found out were rat poison. With hindsight (of what they were), I wouldn't have done that'
But 99% of the time, in common parlance, the mere use of the word hindsight implies gaslighting
'You know I did something inexcusable and wrong, and I know it. But I'll use the word hindsight to imply that any normal person would've done the same in my shoes'
🇬🇧UK: “In the face of a virus that would go on to kill 230,000 people…Jenny Harries was employed…to protect people…she took the ‘easiest’ and cruellest option of sacrificing care home residents, some of the most vulnerable people in the country.”
🇬🇧 UK: "Rishi Sunak pushed “very hard” for a lifting of all lockdown restrictions during a meeting in July 2021 where Boris Johnson referred to people as “malingering” and “workshy”, the Covid inquiry has heard."
🇬🇧 U.K. Health Security Agency chief Jenny Harries — England’s deputy chief medical officer at the height of the pandemic - told Boris Johnson that big gatherings are “not seen to be something which is going to have a big effect.” She argued it was not worth disrupting people’s lives over the virus.
🇬🇧UK: "Politicians and civil servants didn’t have the scientific knowledge necessary to understand research-based advice during the COVID-19 pandemic, a public inquiry into the UK government’s response to the crisis has heard."
🇬🇧UK: "Sir Patrick Vallance, who was the UK government’s chief scientific adviser, has expressed regret for using the phrase “herd immunity” during an early media interview about COVID."
🇬🇧 UK: UK PM Rishi Sunak thought government should ‘let people die’, Covid inquiry told in bombshell claim.
In one of the most explosive claims heard at the inquiry so far, the now prime minister, who was chancellor at the time, allegedly believed it was time to “just let people die and that’s okay” in the autumn of 2020.
🇬🇧 UK: "The level of criminal incompetence exposed by recent witnesses to the UK COVID-19 Inquiry, chaired by Baroness Heather Hallett, has proven that many, if not most, of over 230 000 deaths were preventable. Amid the claims of extreme misogyny, profanity, and chaos that litter the evidence is a story of complete government breakdown."
🇬🇧 UK: Nearly 6 out of 10 people who died with coronavirus in England from January to November 2020 were disabled, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
