Politics LIVE: Boris Johnson to give evidence at major inquiry today

Boris Johnson is set to appear at the Covid inquiry today. The former Tory prime minister will give evidence this morning at the hearing in central London.

Mr Johnson's appearance comes as the public inquiry is in its eighth module, focused on children and young people. The ex-PM, who was forced out of office in a row over partygate, was previously grilled as part of the inquiry in 2023.

He was in No10 when the coronavirus pandemic hit Britain in 2019.
