Boris Johnson’s WhatsApp messages from the first year of the pandemic are missing from evidence handed to the Cabinet Office due to a “security breach”.
It is understood the breach refers to the discovery at the end of April 2021 that the then-PM’s phone number had been freely available online for 15 years.
As a result, a phone containing messages from May 2021 onwards has been handed to the Cabinet Office to assess, but no messages prior to this date are yet available.
