Flashback! Watching #Marr? Remember when they invited @IsabelOakeshott on to attack my investigation? Turns out she KNEW then about @Arron_banks' Russian connections. Had known for MONTHS...
Love that @AndrewMarr9 show making sure to call it a @thesundaytimes scoop. @IsabelOakeshott fled to the @sundaytimes when she found out about our Observer story on Friday... theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
So @helenlewis & @andrewmarr9 claim we got emails through "journalistic skulduggery". Um no. @IsabelOakeshott is not a journalist & shd never be allowed on that or any other show again. She sat on info for months. Journalists do not do that. We get things into the public domain.
To be clear @peterjukes got the emails on Thursday. We went to extraordinary lengths to protect our source & that's why @IsabelOakeshott & @thesundaytimes found out on Friday. We didn't commit "journalism skulduggery". We committed journalism.
Love that @FraserNelson, editor of the Spectator, says @Arron_banks' covert Russian connections has no relevance to Brexit. Russians wanted him, he says, because of connections to the Trump campaign. Amazing what lengths Brexiteers will go to to avoid what we call "news"..
