@AllisonPearson @DailyMail @Independent @GBNEWS @UKLabour @downingstreet Allison, criticism is easy when u have a large platform. Accountability apparently becomes harder when the posts disappear. Perhaps u could restore what u wrote about Jason Arday & let people judge ur words!

[Marcus Powell @marcuspowell196]

Jeremy 100% correct , if you’ve read The Sunday Times editorial on Jason Arday’s death its a masterclass in institutional deflection. It spends weeks pursuing his “suitability,” quotes his own words calling the coverage “soul-destroying,” notes his family’s plea to be left alone — then pivots to blame “unpoliced social media” while insisting its own scrutiny was simply “the role of the press.”

Asking questions isn’t neutral. Choosing which questions, how relentlessly, and for how long is an editorial decision — and one a newspaper should be able to examine in itself as rigorously as it examines everyone else.

This is why press accountability matters: not to silence scrutiny, but to make sure those who wield it answer for its consequences too

[Robert Peston @Peston]

The statement made by David Sherborne KC on behalf of Prince Harry and Tom Watson today says Murdoch’s NGN “unlawfully engaged more
than 100 private investigators over at least 16 years on more than 35,000
occasions. This happened as much at The Sun as it did at the News of the
World, with the knowledge of all the Editors and executives, going to the very
top of the company. What’s even worse is that in the wake of the 2006 arrest of a Royal correspondent, there was an extensive conspiracy to cover up what really had been going on and who knew about it. Senior executives deliberately obstructed justice by deleting over 30 million emails, destroying back-up tapes, and making false denials – all in the face of an on-going police investigation. They then
repeatedly lied under oath to cover their tracks – both in Court and at the
Leveson Public Inquiry. At her trial, in 2014 Rebekah Brooks, said ‘when I was Editor of The Sun we
ran a clean ship’. Now, 10 years later when she is CEO of the company, they
now admit, when she was Editor of The Sun, they ran a criminal enterprise.”. The full statement is attached and is quite the read

Jess Phillips: abuse by Elon Musk 'turned my world upside down'

Speaking to @AnushkaAsthana, Phillips says Musk 'knows nothing' about grooming gangs

[ITV News @itvnews]

Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips admits she hasn't spoken to victims of the grooming gangs scandal in Oldham yet

'I'm very much hoping to do that and arranging that', she told ITV News' @AnushkaAsthana

Phillips said she's turned down a government-led inquiry because a locally-led one in Telford in 2022 meant 'things changed, way quicker'

[Jezza @JeromeRiviere11]

You embody such negativity and ignorance, perfectly reflecting the deeper issues facing this country. Whether poorly educated or educated yet lacking any true intelligence, the sense of entitlement to comment on everything just to remain relevant is both alarming and disheartening. The toxicity and venom you exude are genuinely troubling

Chris and Dianne have done it again! How does he glide across the floor and do incredible lifts with no point of reference??? Inspirational dancing from Chris and well deserved 10s from Shirley and Anton #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

[Karl Cunliffe @KDCunliffe]

Nobody in Strictly history deserves a TEN as much as Dianne Buswell this season.

What she’s achieved with Chris McCausland is EXTRAORDINARY.
