My son is ASD & GDD. Lockdown is v. hard 4 him. He is so sad 4 all the doctors & nurses whoโve cared 4 people dying. Heโd like to help them feel better & has asked if anyone would like a card from him. If so drop a DM w/ name & hospital addy, & youโll get a card from him. ๐ #NHS

Nine years ago Emma Thompson spoke to @maitlis for #Newsnight on the predator de jour Weinstein. Me Too was supposed to be the watershed.
We know how that turned out.
This week female execs have gone from Warner Bros, Netflix & Paramount.
It wasnโt just Weinstein, it wasnโt just Brand, it isnโt just Gisele Pelicot.
Itโs systemic misogyny.

Davis Walliams told us who he really is for years, just none of the celebrity class seemed to notice his noncery.
Deliberately blind?

On the upside, the ยฃ36bn the Tories plan to take away from the sick and disabled will just about cover the ยฃ37bn they gave Dido Harding to run the Test and Trace XL spreadsheet

The question is not just โDid the BBC institutionally cover up these offences over decades, enabling the abuse of youngsters?โ
Itโs also โWho else are we unaware of and still may be a danger to the public?โ

Back in the day when David Walliams was wearing black face and joking about raping 13-year-olds on the BBC, I never dreamt he'd turn out to be a wrong 'un. Where were the signs? ๐ค

The gall of David Cameron thinking heโs in a position to offer anybody advice on how a UK prime minister should deal with the question of EU membership.

Andy Burnham, "Can she explain why they voted against a bank levy that would deliver a council tax cut for 20,000,000 households in January"
"She should explain why she took that decision"
Kemi Badenoch, "All of the waffle he had there was kicking everything into the long grass"
Technically, it's PMQs and questions are put to the Prime Minister to be answered. That said, Burnham raised an important point, after talking about the cost of living crisis, Badenoch mobilised Conservative MPs to vote against the bank levy which would help millions of households.
Which raises the question, how much does she really care about the cost of living crisis when she choses not to support a policy that would reduce it's impact.

Why is this even legal?
Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns Iโve expressed about Tom Watson.
What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held.
This โrevolving doorโ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police.

The man who exposed Jimmy Savile, former detective and investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas, revealed in an article published in 2022 that he was trying to get another high-profile individual prosecuted for alleged child sexual abuse.
He said:
"There is one very significant person who Iโve done everything to try and get prosecuted because he is clearly a child sex offender.
"To date the CPS wonโt prosecute. The police and I have tried really hard to get there.
"He will die in due course and then the floodgates will open in the same way they did with Savile. Thatโs not right. But justice takes many different forms."

David Walliams and Russell Brand are clear examples of celebrities abusing their power. Hopefully, the fact that they've been caught will make others think twice.
Nobody is above the law.

Thames Water is about to be bought by the US.
The costs will be dumped on your bills with double digit % bill increases again.
Isn't that great?
You pay for everything whether it is Privatised or Nationalised.
At least if it is Nationalised the money stays in the UK

Someone needs to educate me. I donโt get how super injunctions are a thing. Boris daughter/sister in the lords is protected by one. Walliams had one for the damage it could do him personally. They shouldnโt be a thing at all

There's a second well-known celebrity who cannot be named because of injunctions preventing the media from publishing his identity or reporting allegations made against him by multiple victims.
One of his alleged victims is willing to speak publicly and be named.
It's time to ban super-injunctions.
