Green MP, Caroline Lucas flagged by disinformation unit over Covid criticism
The Tory government “has dangerously blurred the lines between genuine disinformation and legitimate political dissent”.
The Green party MP Caroline Lucas has called for an inquiry into a government unit intended to combat disinformation after it emerged she had been flagged by it for criticisms of ministers and government policy over Covid.
Lucas, who lodged a subject access request along with the campaign group Big Brother Watch for details held on her by the counter-disinformation unit (CDU), said her inclusion in a series of reports amounted to “staggering overreach” by ministers.
