Boris Johnson, the former U.K. prime minister, struggled to comprehend certain concepts and data during his time in office. This was evident through the effort required to understand specific graphs and information. Despite this difficulty, it is suggested that Johnson’s struggle did not stem from a unique inability but rather from the challenging nature of his work.

In Europe, the U.K. has one of the highest COVID-19 death tolls, with over 232,000 people recorded as dying from the virus. Boris Johnson, who resigned as prime minister in September 2022 after being implicated in rule-breaking parties at his Downing Street residence during the pandemic, will testify in an investigation led by retired Judge Heather Hallett before Christmas. The public inquiry is expected to last for three years and was agreed upon by Johnson under significant pressure from grieving families who have expressed dissatisfaction with the evidence surrounding his actions.
