Vote Leave row: Isabel Oakeshott vs Carole Cadwalladr

Here we go. After much anticipation over the weekend, the Observer‘s Vote Leave investigation is finally public. The paper alleges that the Brexit campaign group may have flouted referendum spending rules and then attempted to destroy evidence. While those involved with Vote Leave vehemently deny the claims, Carole Cadwalladr – the journalist behind the ongoing investigation around Trump, Brexit, Russia and Cambridge Analytica – appeared on the Andrew Marr show to discuss her claims.

However, her fellow paper reviewer Isabel Oakeshott appeared to put Cadwalladr on the back-foot when she asked whether she would now commence a similarly thorough investigation into Remain campaign spending:

IO: I have one question for you, are you going to apply this same forensic investigation to the remain campaign?

CC: This isn’t about remain or leave.

Mr S will take that as a ‘no’…
