Johnson Covid messages: Sunak must hand over evidence to avoid “Conservative stitch up” 

EMBARGO: For Immediate Release

Responding to the news that Boris Johnson has handed over WhatsApp messages and diaries to the Cabinet Office for use in the Covid inquiry, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office Spokesperson Christine Jardine MP said:

“Rishi Sunak must now confirm he will hand over any messages requested by the Covid inquiry, including those sent by him and other Conservative ministers.

“He can’t use Boris Johnson any more as an excuse to avoid handing over vital evidence.

“Bereaved families are still waiting for answers. They deserve so much better than yet another Conservative stitch up.”
