Isabel Oakeshott leaked thousands of Matt Hancock's WhatsApp messages to the Daily Telegraph
In a previous statement, Mr Hancock's spokesperson said the Daily Telegraph had published "partial leaks" that presented a "distorted account of the pandemic" to "fit an anti-lockdown agenda". The Telegraph has been handed more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages linked to Mr Hancock's time as health secretary at the height of the pandemic.
After a day of rancorous debate about the government's response to the pandemic, Ms Oakeshott appeared on TalkTV to discuss her decision to leak the messages with presenter, Piers Morgan. When Morgan asked Ms Oakeshott if she had heard from Mr Hancock since publication, she said: "Yes I have. At Prime Minister's Questions, Rishi Sunak defended the public inquiry as the "right way" to scrutinise the handling of the pandemic and urged people not to focus on "piecemeal bits of information".
