'Total rubbish' or the truth? UK media challenge Boris Johnson over shock coronavirus comments
CNN
UK media outlets from across the political spectrum are engaged in an unusually direct confrontation with Prime Minister Boris Johnson over incendiary comments he allegedly made about the coronavirus pandemic.
The right-leaning tabloid The Daily Mail was first to report that the prime minister said last October that he would rather see "bodies pile high in their thousands" than put the country into another lockdown. Johnson flatly denied the story on Monday, with news agencies quoting him dismissing it as "total rubbish." But several more outlets — including The Guardian newspaper, which leans to the left, and broadcaster ITV — have confirmed versions of the story, citing anonymous sources. Even the typically cautious BBC has attributed the phrase to Johnson, quoting sources familiar with the comments. CNN has not verified the reported remark.
