UK nightclubs have been empty for over a year because of the Covid-19 pandemic. But English venues are expected to open up to clubbers again June 21.

The left has said it for a year and last week Cummings confirmed it: the government’s handling of the pandemic has consistently prioritised private profit over public health. Now we must hold them to account for their crimes against us, writes CLAUDIA WEBBE MP

It was meant to have already hosted scores of guests and events in its brand-new 500-seater conference centre, restaurant and chalets, but five years and R47 million later, Manyane Game Lodge in Mahikeng, North West, looks like an abandoned construction site. The once industrious and welcoming town of Standerton in Mpumalanga is now a mere shadow of what it used to be. Its roads are unkempt and littered with potholes, and the majority of traffic lights in the town’s centre are no longer oper...

TO believe or not to believe? That is the question surrounding the bombshell evidence given by Dominic Cummings to the Commons Health, and Science and Technology committees this week. On one hand, it’s tempting to accept his narrative given so much of it chimes with what we already knew about Boris Johnson (that he is unfit to lead the UK) or suspected (that he responded with his usual bluster to dire warnings about the dangers of Covid).

Matt Hancock finally addressed the issue directly as he was repeatedly grilled on the allegations from the maverick former No10 chief at a Downing Street briefing this evening.

Many will have found Dominic Cummings’s appearance before MPs on Wednesday perversely entertaining as he ruthlessly trashed the reputations of his boss and former government colleagues. But there was one truly chilling moment when he said that if he’d had his way, he would have appointed a ‘dictator’ with ‘kingly authority’ to do whatever they thought necessary to tackle Covid-19. Thus the true nature of the Prime Minister’s former chief adviser was starkly revealed: Not a democra...
