Essex Police have taken another swipe at Allison Pearson, saying her response to their probe into her social media posts was "unethical."
The 64-year-old Telegraph journalist said that two police officers turned up at her door on Remembrance Sunday to tell her that she was under investigation for a tweet she made in 2023.
Now, she has hit back, claiming that Essex Police said she has been "unethical" to report her experience.
She branded the tit-for-tat situation as “Kafkaesque”, and said it appeared that the two officers themselves were confused.

It comes as Home Secretary Yvette Cooper wants to change the requirement for police officers to record non-criminal hate incidents.
It is understood Cooper is considering a new “zero-tolerance” approach, which would see police officers encouraged to record more non-criminal hate incidents.
The move would be a reversal of changes to the laws brought in last year by the Tories, who issued new guidance that ordered the force to stop recording incidents just because someone was offended.
