Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick defends the prime minister's handling of the pandemic, saying that he approached it with the "utmost seriousness and sensitivity" and that he has never heard him say that he would inject himself with Covid-19 on live TV, in response to allegations made by Dominic Cummings.
