We accept that Sir James Dyson is not a prominent Conservative supporter as was stated in some of our coverage of his text messages with the Prime Minister.

We wish to make clear that Sir James contacted Number 10 in response to the Prime Minister’s direct request to him for assistance in relation to the urgent need for ventilators and incurred costs of £20m which his company voluntarily absorbed in trying to assist in the national emergency.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story eh?

I saw that.
Dyson has the funds to take on the BBC but most people don’t so they can defame people with impunity.
There was a case years ago when the BBC accused a Tory MPs of making a Nazi salute, in the knowledge the MP wouldn’t be able to defend himself.
However Jimmy Goldsmith paid the mp’s legal fees and the MP won his case.
