Boris Johnson arrived three hours early to the Covid inquiry today, avoiding crowds of the bereaved families who had planned to protest his arrival.

A video, taken by a member of the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK group who also arrived early, was shared with openDemocracy and shows Johnson exiting a car in darkness at 7am carrying files.

Shouts of: “Will you apologise to the bereaved families Mr Johnson?” and “Did you make mistakes?” can be heard from the crowds in Paddington, west London, as he enters Dorland House.
