British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Health Secretary Matt Hancock have defended themselves against allegations made by Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s former top advisor in Number 10.

Giving evidence on Wednesday to the health and science committees of the House of Commons, Cummings said the government had failed the public during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, causing thousands of people to die unnecessarily.
