Boris Johnson tells Covid inquiry his job ‘wasn’t easy’

Boris Johnson appeared annoyed during his evidence to the Covid inquiry on Tuesday, saying that his job during the pandemic "wasn't easy". He was questioned on the pandemic's impact on young people and children, specifically the system for adjudicating exam results in England. Mr Johnson challenged the panel, remarking: "You try coming up with a system to give a fair exam result for people when they can’t sit exams. It’s not easy." This was Mr Johnson's second appearance at the inquiry, which he initiated in 2022, with the current eighth module focusing on youth. Watch the video in full above.
