Isabel Oakeshott (Journalist) interview SOT.
Q - Have you betrayed Matt Hancock?
A - My obligation is to the many many people who have suffered in this country and who were betrayed by a flawed response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Q - But you won't say that you betrayed Matt Hancock?
A - The most important thing is to get answers about what was really happening...not about Hancock or me...I'm not here to protect politicians blushes or reputations...get to the truth of what happened and try to give ppl as much info as I have...wrong of me to sit on these treasure trove of info that lifts the lid of what was going on when millions still paying the price for decisions taken
Q - Sign an NDA?
A - I didn't sign an NDA...confidentiality clause within a written agreement...yes, I broke that...if that gets me a bit of flack then that is a price I'm prepared to pay...absolutely the right decision
Q - Your reputation?
A - My reputation doesn't matter...it's people
Q - Why anyone trust you again?
A - I've already had tip off about things...I'm not going to protect people who have terrible things to hide
Q - Messages between Hancock and Sunak?
A - Yes. of course there are...Not going to pre-empt the Telegraph Expose...there's an awful lot of gossip that isn't in the public interest...we look forward to sharing what is in the pub interest in terms of exchanges between Rishi Sunak and Matt Hancock and other conversations
Q - Should Downing Street be worried?
A - Downing Street may have mixed feelings...Sunak...actually was pushing back...at some of the excesses of public spending and policy during this time
