Time to move on, urges British PM Johnson over Cummings row
LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday it was time for Britain to move on from what he described as a “very, very frustrating episode” when his closest adviser Dominic Cummings was accused of violating the coronavirus lockdown rules.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has urged Britain to move on from what he described as a "very, very frustrating episode" when his closest adviser provoked outrage and scorn for traveling during the coronavirus lockdown.
“It’s been a very, very frustrating episode and I understand why people have been so concerned, because this country is going through a horrendously difficult time,” Johnson told a parliamentary committee.
“(If) what we need to do is to focus on getting the message right ... then I think what we need to do really is to move on.”
