Boris Johnson has spurned declarations by his former closest adviser Dominic Cummings that government corrects led to thousands of extra Covid deaths.

The PM said some of the “commentary” didn’t “bear any relation to reality”.

And Health Secretary Matt Hancock – who was accused by Mr Cummings of lying about his handling of the pandemic – said the allegations were “not true”.

But Labour accused him of failing to answer “pressing questions” on testing, PPE and attention dwelling mistakes.
