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including his ministerial pension, his place on the privy council and access to the public duty costs allowance, to be withdrawn.
“His actions during the pandemic amount to one of the gravest betrayals of the British public in modern history. His decisions, delays and refusal to listen to warnings cost tens of thousands of lives that could and should have been saved,” Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK said in a statement.
“He must be held accountable. We are not asking for an apology. We are asking for consequences. Boris Johnson should have no role in public life and no further entitlement to public funds.”
