Downing Street drama reflects the ‘dysfunction’ of Britain, says Gordon Brown

GORDON BROWN said today that the Downing Street drama over Dominic Cummings reflects the “dysfunction” of the whole country in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mr Brown said that the Downing Street infighting was likely to continue as there were too many factions in the Conservative Party.
