    Very sus.

    One weird turn of phrase she uses is “factual information that I believed to be true”. It sounds like she used her considerable clout to make a false claim about someone and is outraged that there are repercussions.

    The fact that only GB News has picked it up speaks volumes.

      I suspect the wording is because the OSA only criminalises spreading information that you know to be false.

      The activities of MBR Acres are pretty well documented.
