Covid bereaved call for Boris Johnson to lose ex-PM benefits over inquiry report

Campaign group says it will pursue all legal means to ensure personal accountability for ‘grave betrayal’

Covid-bereaved families have called for Boris Johnson to lose access to public funds and said they will pursue all legal options for personal accountability after a damning report into his handling of the pandemic.

The families said they want all privileges Johnson receives as a former prime minister, including his ministerial pension, his place on the privy council and access to the public duty costs allowance, to be withdrawn.
