Lichfield’s MP has apologised to a businessman over claims made in a post on social media.

Sir Michael Fabricant had commented on a video published online about Dale Vince OBE.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the Conservative MP said he had apologised for the now-deleted post.

> “On 13th March 2024, on X I posted a comment on a Guido article which claimed that Dale Vince, a Labour Party donor, is a supporter of Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation.  
>  
> “This post referenced an article published by the website Guido Fawkes which included an edited clip of an interview with Dale Vince that had been taken out of context.  
>  
> “The full clip of the interview makes it very clear that Dale does not support Hamas or its actions on 7th October last year. I am very pleased to hear this.  
>  
> “Accordingly, I have now deleted the tweet, apologised to Dale, and hope this now sets the record very clear.”  
>  
> Sir Michael Fabricant  

Mr Vince is the founder of a number of green businesses and is the chairman of Forest Green Rovers Football Club.
