Former UK prime minister Boris Johnson has been giving evidence at the UK COVID-19 Inquiry in London. He said he had a personal "horror" of closing schools as he believed it to be "a nightmare thing to do". "I thought it would do a lot of damage to the life chances of people who would find it most difficult to bounce back." He said "children were paying a huge, huge price to protect the rest of society". #skynews #uknews #borisjohnson #covidinquiry #covid19 Read more: https://news.sky.com/story/politics-latest-starmer-india-labour-gaza-protests-tax-12593360#10387040 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
