George Osbourne is (was?) due to get remarried this weekend. Someone anonymously sent an email (presumably this email as it turned up the same day as the story) to almost every wedding guest, the happy couple, and several senior journalists and SPADs.
Obviously it’s written by someone with an axe to grind and so the journalists who received it are going to have to fact check every little thing before they dare put anything in print. If they even want to, given that quite a few are members of cosy little cliques.
However it has escaped that bubble very quickly, PopBitch ran it as one of their main stories in yesterday’s newsletter, and the email hit Pastebin not long after.
Whether it’s true or not (and being clear here, I’ve no idea) it’s very likely the case that this is top of mind for every journalist who has seen it for the next little while.

It looks like the papers are starting to acknowledge the story, while also not touching on any single word of the content.
