The Covid public inquiry has asked to see Boris Johnson's WhatsApp messages during his time as prime minister as part of its probe into decision-making.

Counsel for the inquiry, Hugo Keith KC, said the messages had been requested alongside thousands of other documents.

He said a major focus of this part of the inquiry was understanding how the "momentous" decisions to impose lockdowns and restrictions were taken.

Yeah but they've all been deleted and are unavailable. How unfortunate

It's common practice for politicians to set up auto delete on their whatsapp messages, which is potentially illegal, but there you go, that's what they do.

That’s why it’s interesting as the request will show how and what has been deleted

How will it show "what" has been deleted, if they've err been deleted ?

If there’s nothing left as they must produce something so if has deleted all records that will show.

Agreed, so it'll show he's deleted some stuff, but not "what" he's deleted, which is obviously where the real stories lay.

That’s true but if there’s a huge void then that in itself is incriminating

Damning yes but, sadly, not incriminating.
