Boris Johnson had ‘wrong skill set’ for Covid crisis top aide admits 
Former chief adviser to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings arrives to give a statement to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry at Dorland House in London, during its second investigation (Module 2) exploring core UK decision-making and political governance. Picture date: Tuesday October 31, 2023.

BORIS JOHNSON was the wrong politician to lead Britain during the pandemic, one of his closest aides admitted today, as Conservative Covid chaos was laid bare.

Speaking to the public inquiry into the pandemic, Downing Street communications chief Lee Cain said: “It was the wrong crisis for this prime minister’s skill set.

“He’s somebody who would often delay making decisions. He would often seek counsel from multiple sources and change his mind on issues.”
