Rishi Sunak has suffered a major blow as the High Court ordered the Government to release Boris Johnson’s unredacted WhatsApp messages and notebooks to the Covid Inquiry.
Causing another headache for the embattled PM, judges said there were no grounds to block inquiry chairwoman Baroness Heather Hallett's order to hand over the material.
The judgement will mean inquiry officials will have access to message exchanges between Mr Johnson and former and current ministers, including Mr Sunak and ex-PM Liz Truss.
