"The BBC understands" was the construction used by the Radio 4 bulletins this morning. Political editor Chris Mason said "Boris Johnson is expected to apologise to the Covid Inquiry next week and acknowledge the government did not get everything right during the pandemic."
Surely the new transparent BBC News can move further than this ? Chris was briefed, either in person or by email, alongside most Fleet Street political editors, and may even have had sight of some of Johnson's written statement to the Covid inquiry, prepared with the help of barrister Brian Altman KC (Chingford Senior School and King's College London).
Chris adds to his online report with 'a source'; The Times has words from 'a spokesman for Boris Johnson'.
