"His actions during the pandemic amount to one of the gravest betrayals of the British public in modern history. His decisions, delays and refusal to listen to warnings cost tens of thousands of lives that could and should have been saved, Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK said in a statement. He must be held accountable. We are not asking for an apology. We are asking for consequences. Boris Johnson should have no role in public life and no further entitlement to public funds."
"The second report from the public inquiry into the pandemic published on Thursday found Johnson's government had acted too little, too late, and that locking the country down a week earlier in March 2020 could have saved about 23,000 lives. The inquiry, led by the retired judge and crossbench peer Heather Hallett, found he had repeatedly changed his mind on whether to introduce tougher restrictions and failed to make timely decisions."
Covid-bereaved families demand removal of all former-prime-minister privileges for Boris Johnson, including his ministerial pension, privy council membership, and public duty costs allowance, and intend to pursue legal options for personal accountability. A public inquiry concluded the government acted too little, too late; a lockdown one week earlier in March 2020 could have saved about 23,000 lives. The inquiry found Johnson repeatedly changed his mind on tougher restrictions, failed to make timely decisions, and presided over a toxic, chaotic Downing Street culture that hampered decision-making. Families say his actions amount to one of the gravest betrayals of the British public and insist on consequences rather than apologies.
