Government Accused of Withholding Evidence in Covid-19 Investigation: Over 227,000 Deaths in Great Britain

But the government is already making a bad impression. The leader of the opposition Labor Party, Angela Rayner, spoke of a “desperate attempt to withhold evidence”. The lawyer for the bereaved organization Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, Elkan Abrahamson, accused the government of “complete disregard” of the investigation, as the BBC reported. According to the death certificate, almost 227,000 people in Great Britain died of Covid-19.
