Dominic Cummings labels Boris Johnson’s early Covid plan a ‘disaster’

Britain's early plan to combat Covid-19 was branded a "disaster" in an incendiary series of posts on Twitter by Boris Johnson's former top adviser Dominic Cummings.

Mr Cummings claimed "awful decisions" led to the government imposing lockdowns that could have been avoided, and repeated allegations that reaching herd immunity was the government's official original strategy, despite its vehement claims to the contrary.

Censure was also reserved for the UK media which Mr Cummings accused of a dereliction of duty by failing to challenge these claims.
