Tory austerity Chancellor George Osborne should be grilled at the upcoming Covid Inquiry about how brutal cuts left the UK “poorly prepared” for the pandemic, bereaved families say.
Campaigners have demanded that Mr Osborne, who unleashed a devastating assault on public services after the Conservatives took power in 2010, answers questions over whether this led to thousands of Covid deaths.
They also want current Chancellor Jeremy Hunt - who was Health Secretary in David Cameron ’s government - to be called as a witness.
