has posted a series of tweets, criticizing the government's handling of the curve in 1900 pandemic, dominic cummings, as acute as far as johnson's government of incompetence, as well as lying to the public about and how immunity strategy this comes to stay is before he set to testified before parliamentary committee, about the government handling of the crisis. cummings himself, was ousted from downing street last year amid rumors of a rift with bars. johnson john hall has worn out from london. what we have now though is this extraordinary volley of tweets released on saturday night by dominant comics more than 40 of them alleging, and serial government incompetence delays in following scientific and medical advice. the lack of a proper plan and so on. the central claim here is that in the early months of 2020, it was according to cummings government policy to fall to allow the virus to spread through the population in the hope of achieving so called heard immunity by september. that some of the government has repeatedly denied. indeed they've denied
