For Liam…

With Liam’s birthday tomorrow, my heart still hurts. It hurts for his parents, his sisters, his son, his friends and every person who loved him, because beyond all of the noise, the headlines, the theories and the endless unanswered questions, there is one unbearable truth that sits above everything else: Liam should be here tomorrow.

I have spent the last few days glued to my computer, much like so many of you, trying to piece together a puzzle that still feels painfully incomplete, except I cannot look at this solely through the eyes of somebody observing the entertainment industry from the outside. I entered that world at sixteen years old, had an entire career before The X Factor, and have spent years in rooms with people some would fear and others would only ever dream of meeting. I have seen how power works when the doors close, I have experienced its darkest consequences first-hand, and after following the evidence, the chronology, the relationships, Liam’s own words and what I personally knew of him, there is a linear conclusion that is screaming at me.

I have now written it down.

What began as questions has become a substantial thesis setting out what I personally and professionally believe happened, and before I publish a single word of it I am awaiting independent legal counsel’s comments, because I want what I put into the world to be watertight. I do not believe in conspiracy theories and I have no interest in manufacturing one; my thinking is grounded in evidence, first-hand experience, documented fact, Liam’s own words and the questions that arise when those things are finally placed alongside one another.

There are also things I want answered properly. Liam was beginning to speak openly about his experience and his truth, including through his conversations with Steven Bartlett and Logan Paul, and I want to know what exists beyond the versions the public ultimately heard. There are fuller or unedited recordings that exist, I believe they should be preserved, examined and, wherever legally possible, made available, because Liam is no longer here to tell us what may have been left unsaid.

And perhaps the reason I am saying any of this tonight is much simpler than the thesis itself.

In 2010, Liam and I were two very young people sitting on the bottom bunk of his bunk bed in the X Factor house, confined inside this inexplainable world neither of us could properly comprehend, telling one another things about what we had each experienced getting there and relying on each other because, in that moment, very few other people could truly understand.

We made each other a promise that night.

Whatever happened, we would always have each other’s backs.

I meant it.

So I will keep asking the uncomfortable questions, I will keep following the evidence wherever it leads, and I will keep pushing for proper scrutiny where the evidence warrants it, because Liam should have had the opportunity to finish telling his own truth.

Tomorrow should be his birthday.

He should be here.

And until every legitimate question that can be answered has been answered, I am not walking away.

I promised him I would have his back.

I do not break my promises.

For Liam. Happy Birthday 🤍

An awfully peculiar choice of poster to have behind him — Oceans 11, a film about an immaculately choreographed heist where every member of the crew plays their role to perfection, the target is kept smiling, and by the time they realise what’s been taken from them, it’s far too late.

For many of us who’ve crossed paths with Simon Cowell, the similarities are hard to ignore. A carefully selected inner circle. Every move calculated. Charm and glamour on the surface, while the real work happens quietly in the shadows. Careers, contracts, even lives, steered in ways you only piece together long after the game is over.

Do you see it now — thrown right in the faces of the very people who lived it? A pretty disturbing choice of picture to publish… wouldn’t you think?

Des pédophiles plutôt que de les protéger!

Ptdrrr donc là il y a notre ministre qui décide d'enlever un jour qui est censé nous rappeler des horreurs qui se sont produites pour qu'on n'oublie pas et qui demande également aux malades d'arrêter d'être malades. Pourquoi il n'a pas demandé aux pédophiles d'arrêter d'être

#SayNoToSimonCowell he has abused enough young artists with stranglehold contracts and lasting mental health impact.

[Katie Waissel @katiewaissel24]

As a young woman, a single parent, and someone who has endured things I wouldn’t wish on anyone—I carry with me not just pain, but purpose. I’ve always believed that we have a duty to turn poison into medicine. To take what tried to destroy us and use it to fight for something better.

A few years ago, during an interview about people’s rights and freedoms, I met Ben Habib. We were speaking about the same things—truth, justice, and the fundamental rights of every human being. His thought process struck me then, and it stayed with me.

So as I’ve shared in my video, my decision to join The College for Advance UK was not taken lightly. The College is independent from the party itself. It exists to hold leadership accountable, to connect directly with the public, and to help shape policy that actually reflects the voices of real people.

For me, this wasn’t a political opportunity—it was a continuation of everything I’ve stood for, everything so many of us have been working toward. Listening. Learning. Pushing for change. Being heard.

And now—finally—we have a structure where someone is listening.
Where transparency is not just a buzzword.
Where action is not just a campaign promise.

I remember once sitting in a meeting with a senior Member of Parliament after pleading for support on an urgent safeguarding issue. And they said:
“I can’t be seen to have an opinion either way.”

But that is exactly the problem, isn’t it?

Because if politics won’t stand for the people, then what is it standing for?

We are the people. We do have opinions. We do have needs. And we will be heard.

To those who know me—you already know what this means.
You know I won’t stop until meaningful change is made.
And I want you to see this move as a positive step forward for all of us.

So to everyone who has stood by me, fought beside me, or simply supported from afar:
I promise you now, just as I always have—
I will not let you down.

We’ve opened a new door.
Let’s walk through it together.

I must admit, I’m genuinely shocked — and deeply disappointed — to see @Netflix backing a project centred around Simon Cowell and his company, particularly one that so casually repositions him as the architect of “the next global boy band” without any meaningful acknowledgment of the unresolved harm tethered to his legacy.

This is not just about creative direction or entertainment. This is about accountability. We are living in a time where the world claims to value truth, transparency, and justice. Yet here we are, watching the same names—names linked to systemic exploitation in the entertainment industry—being platformed and glorified without investigation, without reform, and without so much as a public reckoning.

There are serious and historic allegations surrounding Cowell’s companies and the environments they cultivated—allegations that span manipulation, psychological coercion, legal entrapment, and breaches of duty of care. I’ve spoken out publicly about my own experience, as have others who, like me, were chewed up and spat out by a machine designed to commodify human vulnerability for profit. Those accounts haven’t disappeared. They haven’t been disproven. They’ve just been ignored.

For Netflix—a platform that prides itself on bold storytelling and cultural conscience—to fund and broadcast a rebrand of this magnitude, without acknowledging the very real and very human cost of what came before, is not just troubling. It’s dangerous. It sends a message that celebrity status absolves you from scrutiny, and that power will always find a way to reinvent itself, no matter the damage left in its wake.

We must stop treating fame as a proxy for virtue. We must stop framing legacy without consequence.

@isaacandersonuk Happy birthday! 🎉🥳

[Mati •🫀🧠• @La_Triquetra]

Don't get me wrong, pls. I love seeing him, but honestly I'd rather go months or even yrs w/o getting content every day of him followed from behind. Let him enjoy his life and little walks in peace. If you really love him as you say, why wouldn't you want him to be happy & safe?
