    Her name is Victoria Thomas-Bowen apparently

    According to The Sun, or at least I couldn’t find a source that didn’t reference them if it even referenced a source at all. While whosit the press secretary probably didn’t do it, I’m not sure The Scum is exactly a good source either

      “Here’s some evidence that it isn’t this person”.

      “Nah, I prefer my conspiracy theory”.

        Literally not what I did. I said it’s probably not whatshername, but I’m not in the habit of trusting The Sun either and it’s as likely that they got it wrong as it is that Twatter got whatshername wrong. There’s probably a reason why eg. The Guardian removed Victoria’s name from their article – and no, it’s not that they think the press secretary did it

      I just Googled her name and was provided different sources. But if those sources are referencing eachother I don’t know. For some reason “journalist” don’t have to provide sources.

        The ones I checked either didn’t have a source at all, or specifically said they got their information from The Sun
