During a seven-hour mammoth evidence session before MPs, the former No 10 aide claimed the Health Secretary lied repeatedly, made "criminal" decisions and that "he should have been fired for at least 15, 20 things".

Boris Johnson gave the Cabinet minister his full backing yesterday and one former minister suggested he now had "the safest role in Government", adding: "Boris won't sack him now... he won't admit that Cummings is right".
