Isabel Oakeshott accuses Matt Hancock of sending ‘menacing’ message after leak – video

In an interview with TalkTV, the journalist Isabel Oakeshott, who leaked Matt Hancock’s private messages to the Telegraph, said he found out about the leak at the same time as everyone else and later sent a ‘menacing’ text to her about it. Oakeshott said he was ‘extremely troubled at how to respond to this, and I don’t blame him’. 

Although she said throughout the interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday that it was not intended as a personal attack on the former health minister, she acknowledged her friendship with Hancock had broken down. Oakeshott co-wrote a book with Hancock about his time as health minister during the pandemic
