"Official files have revealed that Boris Johnson took four days off during a crucial period in the run-up to locking down the UK when the Covid pandemic struck. The revelation has come after the group campaigning for families of the Covid bereaved described the former prime minister as being beyond contempt for his attack on the damning report produced by the inquiry into his government's handling of the pandemic. Mr Johnson has refused to apologise for an estimated 23,000 extra deaths the inquiry stated he caused by delaying lockdown for a week. Instead he used his column in a national newspaper to lambast the inquiry's chair Baroness Heather Hallett and argue that Professor Neil Ferguson, whose estimates the figure was based on, was hysterical."
