A government minister is facing criticism after publicly accusing a journalist of 鈥渕aking up claims鈥� and creating disinformation for asking questions about a video campaign promoting the coronavirus vaccine programme. In a Twitter thread, Kemi Badenoch accused the journalist from the Huffington Post of 鈥渃reepy and bizarre鈥� behaviour, and published screenshots of questions sent to her MP鈥檚 office and to a ministerial press office, naming the reporter. In the wake of the tweets, the journalist concerned, Nadine White, was forced to make her own Twitter account private as she was receiving so much abuse. Nadine joins Emma Barnett on Woman's Hour to discuss the matter, explain why it is close to her heart personally and why she feels it鈥檚 a matter of public duty. Woman's Hour did invite Kemi Badenoch to join the programme, but the government said this wouldn't be possible.
