PHONE-IN
The UK's response to the Covid pandemic was hindered by a "macho" culture in Downing Street - that's according to the second most senior civil servant in the cabinet office during the coronavirus outbreak. Helen McNamara made the claim during her evidence to the UK's Covid Inquiry, reflecting on her time as deputy cabinet secretary. She said that female experts were ignored, and women were "looked over".
Giving evidence to the inquiry on Tuesday, Mr Cummings accepted his language was "deplorable" but denied he had been misogynistic, adding: "I was much ruder about men."

In addition, an investigation into a toxic culture in the RAF's Red Arrows display team has found predatory behaviour towards women was "widespread and normalised". Examples included unwanted physical contact, sexual texts, invitations to engage in sexual activity, and women being seen as "property". A "bystander culture" meant such behaviour went unchallenged, it found. Chief of the air staff, Sir Richard Knighton, said he was appalled by the findings and "unreservedly" apologised.
