'My mum died alone and we lost precious time with her so Boris Johnson makes my blood boil'

A bereaved daughter who was unable to be at her mother's deathbed says Boris Johnson's lockdown partying "makes my blood boil".

Rachel Dickinson says she and her family were robbed of precious time with Anne Cragg, 71, in the months leading up to the retired teacher's death because they abided by lockdown restrictions. At the same time, there were multiple parties in No10 Downing Street, including one which led to a fixed penalty fine for the then prime minister.

Anne, who had already survived breast cancer, started to complain of horrific stomach pain in April 2021, but it was not until a few days before her death that she was told she had a large cancerous mass in her pelvis. She died with none of her family at her side in hospital.
