A public inquiry has criticized the U_K_'s initial COVID-19 response in early 2020 as “too little, too late.”.

A former top aide to Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the British leader was dismissive of the threat posed by surging coronavirus cases last year.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to build a national flagship to travel the world’s oceans promoting British trade and investment.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s former chief aide has lashed out at the government he once served, saying people died “in horrific circumstances” during the coronavirus pandemic because of its failed response.

Dominic Cummings was pictured exiting the prime minister’s 10 Downing Street office through the front door. British media reported he had left for good rather than staying on as Johnson’s adviser until the end of the year, when he was expected to give up his post. The prime minister's office hasn't confirmed Cummings' departure. Nicknamed “Boris' brain,'' Cummings has also been the target of complaints from senior members of Johnson’s Conservative Party, who say that unelected advisers in the prime minister’s Downing Street office were effectively running the government, sidelining ministers and Parliament. Cummings’ departure is an opportunity to reshuffle the government and bring in more experienced ministers, Jenkin said.
