![]() ![]() Last year there was a meeting between the PM, Cabinet Secretary, the Director of Communications and me regarding the leak of the decision for a further lockdown on the Friday evening immediately after the meeting in the Cabinet Room that made the decision (known in the media as ‘the chatty rat story’). I am also happy to publish or give to the Cabinet Secretary the PM/Dyson messages that I do have, which concerned ventilators, bureaucracy and covid policy - not tax issues.Ģ. ![]() ![]() It will therefore be easy to establish at least if I was ever sent these messages. If the PM did send them to me, as he is claiming, then he will be able to show the Cabinet Secretary on his own phone when they were sent to me. I am happy to meet with the Cabinet Secretary and for him to search my phone for Dyson messages. Officials told me yesterday that I was not copied in on this correspondence and I do not remember it (I no longer have access to my official email so cannot check this). Yesterday some No10 officials told me that No10 would make this accusation and told me what they believe actually happened - that Dyson’s office emailed a number of officials, including HMT officials, and included screenshots of the PM/Dyson texts, and that this correspondence, from roughly a year ago, was passed to the BBC. I was not directly or indirectly a/the source for the BBC/Kuenssberg story on the PM/Dyson texts. I have not found the ones that were leaked to Laura Kuenssberg on my phone nor am I aware of being sent them last year. I do have some WhatsApp messages between the PM/Dyson forwarded to me by the PM. The Prime Minister’s new Director of Communications Jack Doyle, at the PM’s request, has made a number of false accusations to the media.ġ. ![]()
