For LSE to resume the service we pay for I wanted to mention the guy who wrote the now infamous article in the Mail on Sunday regarding the Antibody Test 'Breakthrough'. His name is Glen Owen and he is the political editor of the MoS.
OK this is what Guido Fawkes had to say about him back in July 2018 when the editor post was vacant and he was discussing the runners and riders for the post. Here it is:
"Glen Owen: The clear early favourite, Owen is the current deputy pol ed at the MoS, a hard hitter with a track record of scoops. If anyone can conjure a splash out of thin air Walters-style it’s him."
I think there WAS more than a degree of truth in that article and the efforts subsequently to diminish it are nakedly political. It wasn't really supposed to get out to that degree but some silly junior health minister couldn't help blabbing could he (lol). I bet Boris gave him a slap around the chops.
The point is, all the excitement and hype following that article was not misplaced.
