Report from inquiry’s second module also says Johnson as PM ‘at times actively encouraged’ chaotic culture
Dominic Cummings “poisoned the atmosphere” of Boris Johnson’s Downing Street during the Covid crisis, the official inquiry into the pandemic has found, saying he helped create a toxic and macho culture with the full connivance of the then prime minister.
Johnson’s chief aide “strayed far from the proper role of a special adviser”, the report finds, making “key decisions in 10 Downing Street which were for the prime minister to make”.
