Emily Maitlis has revealed that she received a “text of support” from Dominic Cummings following her Newsnight monologue.
But, while the segment generated nearly 24,000 complaints to the BBC, Maitlis told Tatler that she received a text from the Prime Minister’s political advisor after the broadcast.
“It was peak surreal getting a message of support from him in the middle of all the crazy stuff,” she said.
He should understand that public mood one now: one of fury, contempt and anguish.”
