BORIS JOHNSON was grilled by the Commons Liaison Committee today over his handling of the coronavirus outbreak and the reckless actions of his senior adviser Dominic Cummings.

The PM rejected calls for Mr Cummings to face an inquiry over his lockdown-breaking road trip from London to Durham on 27 March.

Mr Cummings claimed that he, his wife and child made the trip to his family as they needed childcare — fearing that they would get too sick with suspected coronavirus to look after their four-year-old son.
