Boris Johnson Surrenders Pandemic-Era Notebooks and Messages to UK Government Amidst COVID-19 Inquiry Dispute

Boris Johnson has given his pandemic-era notebooks and messages to the UK government, urging officials to pass them on to an independent COVID-19 inquiry.

The Cabinet Office is in a standoff with the inquiry over material it deems irrelevant, and Johnson has cooperated with the inquiry in full.

The inquiry will examine the government's management of the pandemic, particularly at the beginning when Britain was slower than many European countries to respond.

Johnson's personal conduct has been heavily criticised and he incurred a police fine for breaking lockdown regulations.
