Sunak accused of being 'slippery' over order to hand over Johnson COVID WhatsApp messages
Unredacted messages sent and received by Boris Johnson between 1 January 2020 and 24 February 2022.Copies of 24 unredacted notebooks filled in by Mr Johnson between 1 January 2020 and 24 February 2022
This is despite saying in their original appeal against the order that there was"unambiguously irrelevant" material in the redacted parts of messages sent to the inquiry. Sources close to Mr Johnson say Cabinet Office officials have visited his office in person to examine notebooks within the past few weeks.
Asked whether he was concerned about a potential"cover up", Mr Streeting said:"I think the fact the prime minister looks so slippery today will be a cause of deep anxiety to people who are following the inquiry closely - not least those families who have suffered bereavement and just want some honesty and some answers."
