Britain’s most senior civil servant should launch an urgent inquiry into the actions of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s senior adviser Dominic Cummings over a journey made during lockdown, the opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer said.
Johnson on Sunday stood by Cummings, who Downing Street have said made a 400-km (250 mile) journey to ensure his 4-year-old son could be properly cared for as his wife was ill with COVID-19.
“This was a test of the Prime Minister and he has failed it,” said Starmer. “The Cabinet Secretary must now launch an urgent inquiry.”
