This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser during the pandemic, noted that Johnson favoured “older people accepting their fate and letting the young get on with life”.

As the prime minister was resisting reimposing restrictions in December 2020, Vallance wrote: “He [Johnson] says his party ‘thinks the whole thing is pathetic and Covid is just nature’s way of dealing with old people – and I am not entirely sure I disagree with them’.”

The prime minister’s top adviser was asked about how much No 10 considered ethnic minority groups, domestic abuse victims and others in the run-up to imposing a national lockdown.

He added: “I don’t care how it is done but that woman must be out of our hair – we cannot keep dealing with this horrific meltdown of the British state while dodging stilettos from that cunt.” Cummings suggested moving MacNamara to the communities department where she could build “millions of lovely houses”.

But in terms of my actual actions in going north … I acted entirely reasonably and legally, and did not break any rules.” Cummings appeared to regret little about his time at No 10, apart from the language in his messages.

His last words to the session were: “I should apologise for my terrible language.” WhatsApp messages shared with the inquiry showed Mr Johnson claiming that his adviser had never told him he had gone to Durham.
