Former Aide's Shocking Revelation
In a surprising revelation during the ongoing Covid Inquiry, Dominic Cummings, former top aide to Boris Johnson, claimed that the UK Prime Minister asked the country's chief doctor if using a blowdryer up the nose could cure Covid-19. The inquiry is currently investigating the government's handling of the pandemic.
Inspired by a YouTube Video
Cummings stated that Johnson was inspired by a YouTube video that suggested using hair styling tools as a potential solution to end the pandemic. The former aide described this question as a "low point" of the pandemic, as it was put to the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officer without a hint of irony.
Controversial Language and Criticisms
During his testimony, Cummings also revealed his use of controversial language to describe top ministers, referring to them as "c***s" and "morons" in text messages. He criticized the state of Whitehall pandemic planning when the virus hit, calling it "terrifyingly s***" and accusing health officials of lying to cover it up.
Chaos and Leadership Questions
Cummings lifted the lid on the chaos of the early days of the outbreak, claiming that "pretty much everyone" in Downing Street secretly called Johnson a "trolly" for his inconsistent decision-making. He also criticized the Cabinet Office, Matt Hancock, and the government's Covid plan, calling it a "bomb site" and a "joke".
Apologies for Language
Daytime TV presenters had to repeatedly apologize for the language used in Cummings' text messages as they were read out live during the inquiry. Despite the controversy, Cummings stood by his criticisms, stating that his language was his own but that his judgement of senior officials was widespread.
Barnard Castle Dash and Hiring Controversy
During the inquiry, Cummings admitted that his infamous trip to Barnard Castle during lockdown had caused pain to many people and described the handling of the situation as a "disaster". He also argued that it was "completely crackers" for someone like him to be brought in to work in No10.
Fresh Texts Revealed
As part of their evidence at the Covid inquiry, Cummings and another former aide, Lee Cain, shared texts exchanged during the pandemic. One text from mid-March 2020 showed Cummings warning Johnson about the poor state of the Cabinet Office, describing it as "terrifyingly s***" and a "bomb site".
