It was a day of explosive evidence and revealing WhatsApp messages at today’s session of the Covid inquiry.
First up was former senior civil servant Martin Reynolds, who apologised “unreservedly” for organising BYOB lockdown parties. He also faced questions on why messages in a WhatsApp group of government officials were ‘set to disappear’.
He was then followed by another aide, Imran Shafi, who said he thought Boris Johnson had questioned why the economy was being destroyed "for people who will die anyway soon".
To talk us through the latest findings from the Covid inquiry, Adam and Chris are joined by BBC health reporter Jim Reed and the Institute for Government’s Dr Catherine Haddon.
