Is she the author of the poison email?

Saturday's wedding of former Conservative Chancellor Mr Osborne and his bride Thea Rogers was disrupted as a grey-haired woman came up behind the couple to throw the confetti over their shoulders.
Just Stop Oil tweeted a video of the stunt captioned: "You look good in orange, George Osborne — congratulations to the newlyweds" - leading most onlookers to assume that they were responsible.
But a spokesperson for the group told LBC's Paul Brand on Sunday that they were not involved.

Is it Just Stop Oil?
https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/just-stop...borne-wedding/
Just Stop Oil targeted George Osborne's wedding as a protester poured orange confetti over the ex-Chancellor and wife Thea Rogers.
It comes after the eco-activists held protests at Wimbledon and the Ashes.
They're also expected to target tomorrow's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Just Stop Oil tweeted a video of the stunt captioned: "You look good in orange, George Osborne — congratulations to the newlyweds."
They then tweeted a series of articles linking the former Cabinet minister to climate change.
Former Labour home secretary Jacqui Smith tweeted: "This is a plain horrible thing to do to a fellow human being on their wedding day."
Meanwhile Twitter users were divided on the latest stunt, with many suggesting Mr Osborne and Ms Rogers should be left alone on their wedding day.
Dominic Kinsella wrote: "No decorum."
And Jo Marney added: "Imagine doing that on someone’s wedding day just for some attention. Shameful.
"You lot are the absolute worst ambassadors for your cause."
Others took their side, with activist group Socialist Voice tweeting a series of orange love hearts.

Gideon Oliver Osborne Goes To the Police
Yeah I saw the email.
Oddly no alleged victims have come forward...
https://news.sky.com/story/george-os...dding-12917286
Former chancellor George Osborne has called in police to investigate alleged online harassment after a so-called "poison pen" email was sent to guests of his wedding.
Friends say the email - which has since been posted online - is part of a "long-term campaign" of abuse in which an individual has "made up rumours" and engaged in "cyber bullying".
The ex-MP and his fiancee are said to be "really upset and distressed" by the situation.
Mr Osborne married his former Treasury adviser Thea Rogers in a ceremony in the Somerset town of Bruton - which has been dubbed "the Notting Hill of the West" due to the number of celebrities who live there.
A string of well-known politicians and public figures gathered at St Mary's Church, on Saturday afternoon, including former prime minister David Cameron, ex-BBC correspondent Jon Sopel and former health secretary Matt Hancock.

A string of well-known politicians and public figures gathered at St Mary's Church, on Saturday afternoon, including former prime minister David Cameron, ex-BBC correspondent Jon Sopel and former health secretary Matt Hancock.
The individual is not thought to be directly connected to Mr Osborne, and their specific motivation is also unclear.
Police officers are said to have been investigating the alleged harassment "for some time" with legal action also ongoing.
Osborne, 52, served as chancellor in David Cameron's cabinet between 2010 and 2016, when Mr Cameron resigned in the wake of the Brexit referendum.
He held several jobs since then, including editor-in-chief at the Evening Standard - a position he left in 2021 to join financial consultants Robey Warshaw. He also serves as chairman of the British Museum.
Ms Rogers joined the Treasury in 2012 from the BBC where she was a producer for then political editor Nick Robinson.
The couple have two children.
