British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday (25 May) he believed that none of his staff had undermined the public health message for how people can help tackle the coronavirus outbreak, adding he regretted the anger over his senior adviser’s movements, writes Estelle Shirbon.“Yes of course I do regret the confusion and the anger and the pain that people feel … That’s why I wanted people to understand exactly what had happened,” Johnson told a news conference straight after his adviser, Dominic Cummings, defended his trip to northern England during the lockdown.
“I do not believe that anybody in Number 10 has done anything to undermine our messaging,” he said, referring to his Downing Street office.
