Covid Inquiry: Ex-government aide set messages to disappear
A former government aide during the Covid-19 pandemic admitted setting WhatsApp messages to "disappear" as calls for a Covid inquiry grew - but said he can't remember why.
Martin Reynolds turned on a "disappearing message function" on a group chat titled "PM Updates" on the 15th of April 2021.
The news came today during the Covid Inquiry, which has been ongoing since June.
It’s putting the government handling of the pandemic in the spotlight.
