The endorsement of the beleaguered Health Secretary Matt Hancock came hours after Johnson's messages with former chief aide Dominic Cummings - who stepped down from the role in December - were posted online by the controversial ex-advisor.

LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has full confidence in his under-fire health secretary, his spokesman said Wednesday, despite private WhatsApp exchanges emerging in which he appears to slam the minister's "hopeless" handling of the pandemic.

In another reply, Johnson blamed Hancock for the UK's difficulty in getting hold of ventilators. "It's Hancock. He has been hopeless," the message said. Cummings, a key strategist behind the Conservative Party's 2019 election victory and the campaign for Britain to leave the EU, said he was posting the messages to back up his explosive allegations against Hancock in evidence given to lawmakers during select committee hearings in late May.

Cummings in his evidence also condemned Johnson's leadership during the pandemic, saying he was "unfit for the job".
