What good would it have done if the civil servants hadn't "hidden" the vetting failure? Would the outcome differ?
Phillipson appointed Mary-Ann Stephenson as EHRC chair *despite* not one but two select committes warning her not to!
This government installs all the wrong people because it wants to.
Another meaningless charade from Mr Forensic.

Looks like good gear 😂
I can't say that I have that much sympathy for him or his feelings either, but wonder if he would notice at the moment. His only concern seems to be Ruairi.

That little episode should be the end of Rex and Alice IMO. What a twazzock. #TheArchers
NIGHTMARE
The budgie will be the team mascot before we know it 😜 #TheArchers
Yes, I like it!
Dashing into #TheArchers all excited, then realising they're wanging on about cricket.
Gertie was so upset when Eloise was getting her feet worked on yesterday. They were both fine afterward and got LOTS of love!
Oh no. 🙁
I'm not sure this government "do" history. They just veer from crisis to crisis, never learning, never taking responsibility.
Even if that is the case, it's too late to just say that, because he has either not been truthful or not been diligent.
Beware the Trojan Horse full of fash.
Another day in the life of a top level cat trainer.

As @adambienkov.bsky.social has pointed out, in 2020, Starmer said:
"I had 8,000 staff as Director of Public Prosecutions, and when they had victories, I celebrated on their behalf, and when they made mistakes, I carried the can.
"I never turn on my staff. You should never turn on your staff."
Anyway i thought we had to starve the sick and poor to pay for war but we have 500 mil to shovel into the slop machine i guess ah well business is business ey
"brushed off fears"
"some jobs will go"
"national AI champions"
Might as well just set light to that
£500 million for all the benefit it will bring, at least the flames would keep us warm momentarily.
I think #TheArchers scriptwriters have had enough of our shit.
Seen the latest rake jump from our forensic PM and it's very funny how whenever something happens that would usually have merited his intervention his excuse is basically "I'm the most unaware person to have ever existed" and we're just expected to treat that as anything other than disqualifying.
I was relieved to hear it's the final episode in the series of that 6.30 comedy. But then I heard what was replacing it. 😐 #TheArchers
Rula, a marmalade cat. She believes she lives with me. When she stays over for the night I often wake to find she's sleeping on top of me, as close as she can get. She enjoys me reading to her
Lucia, a calico cat rescued from a feral life in Catalonia. Once too wild to trust a friendly gesture she also now half lives with me. But she prefers to go home at night, unless her owner is away, in case she comes through my kitchen window and sleeps on my bed. Once slept curled up on my girlfriend's lap during all of Rosemary's Baby.
Gina - Rula's equally marmalade in hue sister. She has no interest in staying in my house, but often visits when she is lonely. The kindest of all the cats.
Tiffin, a black and red farm cat. A busybody and a troublemaker. If this Malcom in the Middle, Tiffin is Reece. She visits me only to roll around in any rag I've left photo chemicals on
""You will be haunted while Blue Sky is down," resumed the ghost, "by the neighbourhood cats. Each will bring a message, mainly of greed and sloth and warm wool"
The real scandal of the asylum system is the cruelty & incompetence which 1000s of people endure every day but which rarely gets spotlighted at the top of the BBC News site.
Dan here nails much of what makes me uncomfortable about the BBC’s “fake gay refugees” story but here’s a few more points 1/
Today we remember the 97 supporters who lost their lives at Hillsborough ❤️
Days like this can be hard and can bring up strong emotions, if you’re struggling, support is there if you need it 👇🏽

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/

What a charming lad.
So, now Lillian is perverting the course of justice as well.
#TheArchers
She was very puzzled and unsettled by George turning up to see Brian that day. I'm not surprised she brought it up. #TheArchers
