Here's a running thread of all the things the current Prime Minister cannot recall whilst under oath at the Covid Inquiry:

Sunak doesn't recall ... pretty much everything.

Mordaunt taking aim at the top job.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-from-my-phone

Penny Mordaunt has told the Covid inquiry that a series of WhatsApp messages with Boris Johnson mysteriously disappeared from her phone, and that Johnson’s then chief of staff ignored 14 attempts by her to arrange a meeting to discuss the matter.

Visiting Scotland this week.

In other news, 30% of our staff are off with "flu" symptoms this week, a few have tested and they're positive for covid :-(

And all of Sturgeon’s and Swinney’s WhatsApp messages have been deleted, no surprise there.

I've supported the NS position in the SNP thread, I do have to say the word 'relevant' is a wee issue..... was there not a bit of grief around the Westminster messages that Boris etc initially refused to only hand over what they thought was relevant thereby not allowing the enquiry to make that decision?

I should add, currently, I'm still of the view that NS acted correctly. (Until proved otherwise, I do realise others need NS etc to prove their innocence!)

All messages that Sturgeon deemed relevant. Joan McAlpine summed her up perfectly.

Prof Woolhouse certainly not holding back in his criticism of Catherine Calderwood anyway.

Sturgeon's private messages are certainly revealing - of her views of Johnson

I wouldn't pay much attention to that, those are only transcripts, apparently you have to read it in the app or it's worthless.

They aren't transcripts Liz Lloyd didn't delete hers they are court made copies they said. Although Jason Leitch bragged about deleting his every night it was clear that Humza Yousaf and Kate Forbes didn't from the evidence handed in

Ps good on Sturgeon

You need to Google the definition of transcript.

The implication I assumed perhaps wrongly was a joke on Sturgeon not handing over WhatsApps. I meant this wasn't transcripts that Sturgeon handed in of her phone it's info from Liz Lloyd's.

We're getting quite a lot of info from the WhatsApps it's just disappointing it's from only a few peoples phones and none from Leitch's or NS's directly

Most of these WhatsApp messages are general personal stuff like Sturgeon calling Johnson a ****ing moron etc. I had a civil servant in the taxi the other day and she laughed saying most WhatsApp messages are about going for coffee personal nonsense, wasn't used for government business.

NS definitely talked policy. These were only entered due Liz Lloyd not deleting WhatsApps, not sure why this wasn't entered by NS

Nothing to see here, other than another government systematically deleting whatsapp messages.

Johnson saying one thing in COBRA meeting and then saying something completely different in the press conference directly after.

Interesting that she tried to have the company struck off from the Companies House register, but that request was suspended.

They should have stuck to pizzas. At least they would have been eaten.

I'm pretty confident that as soon as the enquiry is over we will move to the recovery of dishonestly obtained profits via back door arrangements like wee Matt and his pals ones, and the large scale stuff like Baroness Mone's.

There will be at least 50p recovered for the public purse and someone somewhere who used to be in charge of buying paperclips and elastic bands for Michael Gove and Lord Deighton will get a caution for agreeing to sign all this off.
