【英国政府面临“短信门”危机】当地时间6月16日,英国首相约翰逊前首席顾问多米尼克·卡明斯在网络上发表了一篇长达7000字的文章,披露英国政府在疫情初期毫无头绪的混乱状态。卡明斯还附上了2020年3月26日他与约翰逊通过网络短信沟通时的截图,当时约翰逊骂卫生大臣汉考克“不可救药”。卡明斯在文章中还公布了英国内阁紧急安全会议的内容文本和文件,还说要揭露唐宁街和卫生大臣在疫情初发时散布的种种“谎言”。Dominic Cummings, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's former chief adviser, posted a 7,000-word article on the internet on June 16 revealing government chaos in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cummings shared photos of message exchanges with the British leader, in which Johnson branded his Health Secretary Matt Hancock's coronavirus testing drive "hopeless," and documents from national security meetings that the former aide said would uncover "lies" propagated by Downing Street and Hancock.
