In an embarrassing leak to the British media, Boris Johnson's former chief aide has shared a WhatsApp message in which the prime minister appears to call Health Secretary Matt Hancock's efforts during the height of last year's coronavirus pandemic "totally f***ing hopeless."

Dominic Cummings, who has been engaged in a weeks-long feud with Downing Street, published a lengthy blog post that he claimed showed details of how "Number10/Hancock have repeatedly lied about the failures last year."

In one WhatsApp exchange, which Cummings said was part of late-night messages on March 26, 2020, he and Johnson are shown to be discussing actions from "MH" in boosting the UK's COVID testing capacity.

The screenshot shows a reply from the prime minister stating: "Totally f***ing hopeless."
