A devastating report on the management of the Covid-19 pandemic under Boris Johnson's leadership concluded that the chaos in the government and the lack of seriousness in addressing the crisis led to 23,000 avoidable deaths. The report highlighted a toxic and chaotic culture at number 10, where women's opinions were ignored. If the lockdown had been imposed a week earlier, over 20,000 lives could have been saved.


Additionally, all four devolved nations were accused of delayed responses. Measures such as social distancing and self-isolation were implemented too late, and scandals like "Partygate" caused public suffering. The report emphasized that Johnson's delayed decisions and lack of scientific consultation worsened the situation. In conclusion, leaders reacted "too little, too late," and grieving families demanded accountability for the losses suffered.
