The Cabinet Office minister, Michael Gove, has refused to call for action to be taken against his Tory party colleague Sir Desmond Swayne for suggesting official data should not be trusted and encouraging fringe groups of lockdown-sceptics and anti-vaxxers.
Swayne, a former Conservative minister, made the spurious claim that official sources were manipulating data to exaggerate the danger during a call with a campaign group in November.
In comments unearthed by Sky News , he falsely claimed the number of people in intensive care wards was broadly normal and encouraged the group Save Our Rights UK to persist with their campaign, which has become a haven for anti-vaxxers.
