Starmer: How can PM justify Cummings' £40k pay rise?

Dominic Cummings' trip to Durham at the height of lockdown was the "tipping point" for the government losing public trust over Covid, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

Mr Johnson replied it was "absolutely untrue" that lockdown restrictions were not working and accused Sir Keir only wanting national lockdowns.
