22:57Now PlayingThe former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has given almost five hours of evidence to the COVID inquiry today.
He began by apologising for the pain and suffering of victims and their families during the pandemic and admitted that "unquestionably" mistakes were made by his government.
But the King’s Counsel’s attempt to get square answers from him about vanished WhatsApp messages, the "toxic" culture inside cabinet and the government’s stalled reaction time wasn’t so straight forward.
Today, Sky’s political editor Beth Rigby joins Niall Paterson to unpack the first of two days of questioning in the search for answers about Boris Johnson’s leadership during the pandemic.
