Here's my plea to the government, media and everyone else to stop treating NHS administrators as a problem to be eliminated, rather than the glue which holds the whole organisation together.

This also means @thedailybeast.bsky.social needs to boot him (MW) off their podcast. He's complicit in the coverup.
Michael Wolff suggests in an email (in 2015) that if Trump were to say in public that he had never been to Epstein’s house or on his plane, Epstein would have leverage over him.
Which…means that Trump was at his house and on his plane and that Epstein had the receipts to prove it. So.

Does *The Daily Beast* think it’s a bombshell email when it is correspondence between Epstein and *The Daily Beast’s own contributor* who co-hosts a podcast with a top Daily Beast editor? Did Wolff not disclose this aspect of his relationship with Epstein, in which he’d been actively *helping* him?

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

Nigel Farage is such a traitor.

It's genuinely sickening to see all these MPs doing everything they can to erase transphobia from the conversation.
Brianna Ghey died because of the bigotry that the media and the Labour Party pushes relentlessly. She didn't die because her school doesn't have phone pouches.

On Brianna's 19th birthday, this morning I joined @cheshirepcc.bsky.social and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Phone Free Education campaign at the launch at Jodrell Bank of a new £150k initiative to make Cheshire the first county in the UK where ALL state high schools have lockable phone pouches.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

I don't often call for resignations. But Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom coup makes his continued role there untenable. He must resign or be removed
