A final oddity. Oakshott and Ashcroft sat on the Banks/Yakovenko emails for 8 months. And three years previously they’d gone to Russia to talk to members of the Duma and an ex KGB agent in Sochi looking for dirt on David Cameron.

@richardpbacon Free speech warrior Allison Pearson has blocked me a few years back (I must have mentioned that she worked with/was praised by Covid disinformation groups, e.g. HART). #hartleaks Feel free to send her this https://t.co/S9apm0tIcF
They helped to build Frankenstein’s monster and now they’re aghast at their creation:

@MichaelRosenYes@ClarkeMicah Michael, have a little read through this thread. Summarised by a Tory MP at the time. Clare Craig, a key member of the Covid disinformation group Hart (John Lee is an advisor/member), then deleted her tweets. Staggering. See also #hartleaks https://t.co/ffuF2FIiJ0
Another top covid-sceptic, Dr Clare Craig, has deleted all her tweets from last year.
Unfortunately for her attempts to cover her tracks... Google cached them, so we can take a look at how she’s used her professional qualifications to spread dangerous disinformation.
A thread:
@MichaelRosenYes@ClarkeMicah Hart group member Clare Craig writes that the elderly won't catch it 😱😱 What do you think, Michael? John Lee is advisor to the Hart group

She also claimed in a deleted tweet: “the epidemic has passed. It’s over. We are now in the midst of a false positive pseudo-epidemic.” She added that, “The elderly are not catching it”
@MichaelRosenYes@ClarkeMicah In case you want to find out more about John Lee. Advisor to the Covid disinformation group Hart. The group's internal chats were leaked - anti-vaxx/anti-mask views plus Covid downplayers. See also the # #hartleaks https://t.co/y2djkmv2bF
@MichaelRosenYes@ClarkeMicah@karamballes will no doubt have more information. He wrote about the group- Inside the Radicalised Anti-Vaxxer Network ‘Influencing’ Government Vaccine Advisory Panel – Byline Times https://t.co/ekMv9dNppN
@DeborahMeaden@robinmonotti He might bring up the list again of "climate experts" that included a "lawyer" people working for mining industries etc. As for Clintel - no climate experts in sight 🤪 https://t.co/zFSr7AYFYj
@RJHannahX @harryph He is sadly not the only one who hasn't got a clue or is evasive. Remember Braverman who was asked by fellow Tory MP Tim Loughton 😱 https://t.co/8EltyJ33Kn
