Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson expressed remorse for the "pain and loss" caused by the Covid-19 pandemic during a public inquiry. Facing criticism for alleged indecisiveness, Johnson acknowledged "unquestionable" mistakes and took personal responsibility. Protesters disrupted his testimony, but he continued, stating, "Inevitably we got some things wrong." Johnson emphasized decisions aimed at saving lives and preventing healthcare overload. With nearly 130,000 UK Covid deaths, he defended actions, claiming success in preventing NHS overwhelm. The inquiry probes his pandemic handling, scrutinizing timing, understanding of advice, and critiques from former aides Cummings and Cain.
