Imperial scientist Neil Ferguson whose advice led to lockdown being introduced QUITS government role after ‘breaking the restrictions to meet his married lover’
The scientist whose advice led to Boris Johnson introducing lockdown measures to combat coronavirus has resigned from his government role after he breached the restrictions to meet his married lover.
Professor Neil Ferguson allowed the woman to visit him at his home, despite the lockdown, which he has continually said is vital in stopping the spread of the killer virus.
The woman lives with her husband and their children in another house.
The Imperial College epidemiologist leads a team which produced the research that led to lockdown.
His research claimed that 500,000 Britons could die without strict lockdown measures being put in place.
