Newsnight presenter Victoria Derbyshire has received a reprimand from BBC boss over bullying allegations, reports @AlexFarber.
“Whilst a number of allegations were not upheld, the BBC felt that there was sufficient grounds for her to effectively receive some form of a warning.”

This is what drives people up the wall with Labour:
a) Every Minister, from Starmer down, mouths the platitude "our priority must be Epstein's victims".
b) Mandelson is forced to resign because of his friendship with Epstein
c) Darren Jones sends Mandelson a sycophantic, fawning message AFTER his relationship with Epstein is fully exposed.
d) Darren Jones literally goes on national television and lies about sending that message.
e) Darren Jones lies are finally exposed themselves.
f) Jones "allies" then start roaming around, briefing the media HE is the victim.
g) Jones carries on in post as if nothing has happened
So, Darren Jones, the Minister responsible for Government compliance with Parliament's demand that all messages between Ministers & Mandelslime are published, actually covered up his own creepy messages!
Resign? No, nay, never!
"He's the victim!"
We're led by scum.
“The fundamental problem we have in this country is that we’re building on 40 years of deindustrialisation topped off by 15 years of austerity - which the Labour government hasn’t done enough to address.” Sarah Wakefield, Green Candidate for Makerfield on BBC Question Time last night
Interestingly one of the senior leadership members who spoke with me was a Super and remains a Super today in another force (non BAME).
The second is BAME and managed to rise from Sergeant in 2017 to Superintendent in 2021.
Now, I'm not suggesting he isn't good at his job, but that's an incredible jump over 4 years.
