Lord Alan Sugar has been criticised for sharing an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory about coronavirus.
“I think a Lord of the realm shouldn’t be involved in baseless conspiracy theories,” one follower commented.
“There was talk of Huhan [sic] in China but also talk of a leaked sample made in a research lab,” Sugar, 73, wrote.
While this conspiracy theory circulated widely on social media at the beginning of the pandemic, there is no evidence that coronavirus was made in a lab.
