Kemi Badenoch ‘very concerned’ about Covid conspiracy theories
Kemi Badenoch is “very concerned” about Covid conspiracy theories, she told the Inquiry.
Ms Badenoch said people still approach her in the street and “tell me that I am part of a grand conspiracy to infect them” and that it is “very disturbing”.
The former minister for equalities in No10 during the pandemic added: “I don’t think government’s got a handle on dealing with misinformation.”
She said social media and information “travelling at speed across the world” compounded the issue.
It comes after Prof Dame Angela McLean, who once referred to Rishi Sunak as “Dr Death”, was questioned on Thursday morning.
