Journalism career
Oakeshott began her career in journalism in Scotland, for the East Lothian Courier, Edinburgh Evening News, Daily Record, Sunday Mirror, and Daily Mail before returning to London and becoming the Evening Standard's health reporter.
After three years, Oakeshott joined The Sunday Times in 2006 as deputy political editor and then political editor, before being named political editor in 2010. At the 2011 The Press Awards, Oakeshott was named "Political Journalist of the Year."
While at The Sunday Times, she persuaded Vicky Pryce to sue her estranged husband, former Liberal Democrat MP and Cabinet minister Chris Huhne, in breach of perverting the path of justice, resulting in the prosecution of R vs. Huhne and Pryce being found guilty and imprisoned.
Oakeshott has appeared on BBC News' Daily Politics, as well as on BBC TV's Question Time, and has been a contributor to Sky News' Press Preview feature.
Oakeshott, the Daily Mail's political editor-at-large, served from February 2016 to early 2017. She wrote a series of articles for The Mail on Sunday based on leaked diplomatic memos submitted by British Ambassador to the United States Sir Kim Darroch, in which she criticized the Trump administration. He resigned as a result of the leak.
In July 2019, The Guardian updated an article by its political sketch writer John Crace, which had a sentence that might have implied that Oakeshott obtained the Darroch emails by sleeping with Nigel Farage or Arron Banks. "Simply false and remarkably sexist" at the time, she described the comment as "demonstrably inaccurate and overwhelmingly sexist." The newspaper later apologised to Oakeshott.
Isabel Oakeshott, a twenty-something woman who appeared on GB News in October 2021, became the host of the Friday lunchtime political show The Briefing with Isabel Oakeshott, which aired 22 hour-long episodes until the end of March 2022.
It was announced in April 2022 that she would be joining the new TalkTV channel.
Writing career
Oakeshott has written several non-fiction books. Inside Out, co-authored with, or ghostwritten for, Labour Party insider Peter Watt, is a journalist who writes about New Labour. Farmageddon: the true cost of cheap meat production, co-authored with Philip Lymbery. The benefits of industrial-scale meat production are investigated.
Call Me Dave, co-authored with Michael Ashcroft, is an unauthorised biography of British Prime Minister David Cameron. On publication, one of the book's particulars – that Cameron, during his university days, reportedly carried out a sex act involving a dead pig – sparked controversies. However, the unsubstantiated tale was dependent on hearsay, and Oakeshott later admitted that her source had been "deranged."
The Bad Boys of Brexit is an inside look at the Leave.EU campaign during the Brexit referendum, which she had ghostwritten for UKIP donor and Leave.EU funder Arron Banks. Oakeshott is a Brexit supporter. She had knowledge of the cultivation and treatment of banks in Russia from 2015 to 2017, but had denied any connection with him.
White Flag, She co-authored with Ashcroft on the state of the British Armed Forces. In 2018, the U.S. will have a monopoly.
