TL;DR

The public inquiry into Covid is in a row with the government over how much information should be disclosed, with victims' groups accusing the government of a cover-up. The inquiry wants to see unredacted WhatsApp messages between Boris Johnson and 40 people, including senior government figures, but the government claims some of the material is "unambiguously irrelevant". Meanwhile, Johnson is looking for new lawyers for the inquiry after his previous lawyers found evidence of further breaches of pandemic restrictions. The battle for reputations, accountability, and truth over Covid is just beginning.
