Here are some more insights into Susan Michie:

she is a longstanding member of the British Communist Party.

But in this example, it becomes hard to separate politics from science. Later in the same interview, Professor Michie admitted that all of her colleagues on SPI-B, the UK government behavioural science committee, shared an ideological commitment to a more equal society

She also explained that the new science of Public Health is collectivist by nature, seeking to provide group-wide solutions to health challenges, and so it fundamentally downplays individual rights.

And they call her the "NUDGE unit chief at WHO". Remember this book that came out in 2008: NUDGE and gave rise to hundreds of nudge units in governments around the world?
