Dominic Cummings, a former aide of the United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has apologized for the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking at a parliamentary hearing on Wednesday, Cummings said the UK "fell disastrously short" of what the "public expects during a crisis like this." Cummings—who was often described as Johnson's "brain"—was notably booted after his mid-pandemic travel sparked controversy last year.
