Isabel Oakeshott (born 12 June 1974) is a British political journalist and non-fiction author. She is the co-author, with Michael Ashcroft, of an unauthorised biography of the British prime minister David Cameron, Call Me Dave.[1][2]
The third cousin of Matthew Oakeshott, Baron Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay, she was educated at Gordonstoun[3] before obtaining a BA in History from Bristol University in 1996.[4] She is a former political editor of The Sunday Times, having previously worked for the East Lothian Courier, Edinburgh Evening News, Daily Record, the Sunday Mirror, the Daily Mail, and the London Evening Standard.[4] She is a regular panellist on BBC television's Daily Politics and Sunday Politics.
While at The Sunday Times she persuaded Vicky Pryce to implicate her estranged husband Chris Huhne, and thus Pryce herself, as having perverted the course of justice, leading to the case R v Huhne and to both Pryce and Huhne being jailed.[5]
She was awarded the title 'Political Journalist of the Year' at the 2011 British Press Awards.[6]
She is married with three children,[7] and has presented radio programmes in which she spoke about contemplating having children via a surrogate mother.[8]
