Lockdown Files: Behind the scenes of The Telegraph's investigation into Matt Hancock's WhatsApps

- The WhatsApps that sent shockwaves through Westminster and created a historic showdown between the Government and the Covid inquiry almost ended up on a Caribbean Island, writes Isabel Oakeshott.
I had been wondering what to do with the huge cache of messages I had obtained from Matt Hancock as part of a joint book project. Stored on a hard drive, the exchanges between the former health secretary and all the key figures involved in handling the pandemic offered an unparalleled insight into the greatest crisis of our times.
Some of the material was in the book we wrote together, but we simply hadn’t had time to wade through all his iPhone records. Now I needed to figure out where to keep the files. They were an extraordinary historical source.

They showed themselves to be a bunch of schoolboys who were not afraid themselves but out to terrify the public with no compassion. They should be jailed for the increase in suicides alone.
We need to talk about the rise in sudden deaths and unexplained injuries and why Andrew Bridgen got thrown out of the Conservative Party
If are still dying ! Why?
It could be an after-effect of covid. Bridges got thrown out because he’s a liar and was spreading disinformation. Your concerns have most likely been sparked by John Campbell who is also peddling disinformation. Stay safe.
IMO I get the feeling they will blame excess deaths that are all due to lockdowns? Not for the daily propaganda to push people to take the poison?
I agree Claudia
It was never about "following the Science" (no such thing). It was mainly driven by ego and incompetence. Once again great detective work from the Telegraph.
where were they though? Where was the voice of opposition? I would say they are culpable.
@@gerrimcloughlin2149the opposition was there all the time and very visibly during PMQs. Don’t try and shift the blame!
And kissing up to the NWO.
The science they were following was in my opinion corporate science
And money, maybe ?
Say no to the WEF
👍🙏❤️
They deserve jail time, no less.
So the telegraph reporters come out now? Where were they during the pandemic?
Fear mongering
Is it me, or is it weird that government officials at the highest level are using a foreign based messaging app (Facebook‘s WhatsApp) to communicate with each other?
I've been thinking that, surely they would have they own communication system, evidently not!
@@bronx3522 They will have but if it’s an official system it will be shockingly bad
It's difficult to hack WhatsApp unless specific apps are used, only governments have access to those, so who did it and leaked it to media, why did they do it? What's their motives?
Instead of worrying about who broke lockdowns we should be paying attention to the several recent, and highly reputable, studies that conclude that lockdowns were completely ineffective. What's more important, people breaking pointless restrictions, or imposing restrictions that were absolutely useless but insanely damaging to the country?
Love hindsight, wish I’d had it before.
Your suggestion is another strand, this about how the government were thinking and behaving during the pandemic
Well many of them couldn't stick to their own rules. That says it all for me.
I don't trust those sources. The effect of lockdowns in many countries are clearly seen in the curves showing the increase vs decrease numbers when restrictions were lifted. A perfect example ( one of many) was the last lockdown in Austria during the Christmas season in 2021 . Google those curves and see for yourself how the cases curve dropped instantly after lockdown was ordered.
fully agree. However, since much before the 'pandemic' that lockdowns, masks, border closures, schools closures among other restrictions were not recommended whatsoever; the source is the pandemic preparedness plan from WHO approved in Q3-4/2019. this was all thrown in the bin and the decision was to follow no other than the Chinese model. The politicians found there a source of popularity and the rest we all know. Deplorable!
@@TheProco2020 People were saying it during lockdown but were labelled fringe and dangerous.
Matt Hancock should be in prison for all the people he murdered with midazolam
Mass murder goes unpunished me again.
👍🍏
Wancock should be in prison along with Sunak, Johnson and Cruella
Sunak has shares in one of the vaccine companies why would a non-selected Prime Minister have that.
People have allready spoken-- we do not want or like infact we despise and hate these sycophantic liers.
lost a old work colleague aged just 47 his wife was intensive care.Myself frontline with weak immunity disgrace never should happen again. i have no parents never see my son for 3 months
Then just put them all in public domain so that the public can scrutinise them! We have lots of people that will be happily go through these chats one by one.
Proper journalists doing proper journalism is what is needed, not a bunch of anonymous bedroom wannabe hacks cherry-picking, distorting, decontextualising and then failing to hold themselves to account for mistakes.
@@dickyr3295yes I think TikTok has demonstrated that armchair detectives can be some of the biggest idiots going
OMG, this is going to be a bombshell..... An atombom more likely.... Matt Hancock... if there was ever was an idiot...?!
Gimme a break! The telegraph are now pretendingnto be actual journalists and do an "inquiry"? What a joke!!!!
👍
Just publish them all already.
All these inquiries are pointless. All that is going to happen is they are going to cost the tax payer money to run and at worst these people will get a fine, which they can all more than afford and walk away scot free.
All restrictions must never be used again. They do not work and are a serious overreach on our freedoms. We must be able to make our own decisions on our health as we have always done. It is crucial that we say no to the International Health Regulations which water down our sovereign rights.
Hancock for jail
They shouldn’t have restricted people going to church
When do we deploy the new variant
😊❤️
What happened to covid did he just disappear? no one is vaccinated and hospitals are not full of covid patients
It has mutated into a less dangerous disease. Some coronaviruses cause flus and colds; this one has basically become like them now.
And nothing of consequence came out of this investigation lmao
Same with the 2008 banking situation, everyone agreed it was terrible and shouldn't have happen yet nobody was held to account.
I pray for the day they pull Hancock out from under his rock, and deal with the b#st#rd appropriately. NEVER EVER FORGET.
From Hungary. The only message that I got was. Hands knees and bumbsey daisy.
"How we went into lockdown to investigate lockdowns". The world has been so weird since 2020.
Please reinstate civil Defence organisation. With their Training and Expertise
Who has access to WhatsApp of key government officials? Who leaked it? How isn't that the bigger news?
Should be a shame on the con government . Let them know in 2 years time.its time for change for con and labour party no more fools wake up people we in UK need a government for the people not for themselves vote not for green blue and red vote with your mind and heart.
All acting like they were curing cancer or something
Great expose, but how Isobel Oakeshott can look at herself in the mirror is beyond me; I am pleased the did it though.
Such diversity in the Telegraph 🙄
no mention of the microchips
Almost as if they didn’t exist.
@@HomemadeBrownies1😂
Yes, those hard-working, benevolent, do the right thing people at the Telegraph. Don't make me laugh🤣🙀 They are just as bad as their government
Matt Hancock was good on I'm A Celebrity though wasn't he? - Sorry, just contributing the farce.
Newspeak: Jonathan Van-Tam, 3 April 2020, "We do not believe healthy people wearing masks would reduce the spread of the disease in the UK".
Oldspeak: "We haven't got any masks".
Without wishing to cause offence, the way in which Isabel Oakeshott looks and speaks reminds me of liz truss. There is a certain gormless quality to her that is occasionally reflected in her work.
How did Isabel Oakeshott get hold of the info in the first place, Or was it planned some time ago.
@@robh7671 she wrote Matt hancocks ‘diaries’ for him, so was given them all during that process
at 2:21 why is there a bottle of olive oil on the desk??
Lab leak is to blame
Did we panic over nothing
self congratulatory garbage LOL
Isabell is a LOT older than she looks......thats for sure !
Patsy
14 minutes listening to this video, and the main take out is how a politician got quick access to a COVID test? Oh, and the pseudo-drama inside a newspaper before publishing this "revelation". Someone, is it worth the remaining 17.5 minutes left?
Yes. Lots more is explained.
is there any point watching this video? Cba to waste 15 minutes of my life
They're infiltrating alt-media with all this kind of well-padded nothingness.
👍
Lefty bs

This is the Daily Telegraph, one of the most right wing newspapers in Britain for the past 168 years
@@johnking5174 The conservative party is also supposed to be right wing, the one with an Indian in charge
All these polititicions think they are immune from any form of prosecution.
Murder is Murder.
