Good Morning Britain did nothing after being told it employed a man who solicited explicit photos of a teenage child who he then threatened, and who molested another on air talent. Susanna Reid celebrated that man *after* ITV was told. I invite you to sue me for this post. When you were told privately, repeatedly, of concerns, you were silent and kept him on air. It’s not going away.

Many men on the right exposed themselves as wanting to legitimise cruelty this week by celebrating the abuse of Rachel Reeves.

I appreciate it, Tim. If I disappear from screens then it will become rather obvious what is going on. I should say that what you refer to has already happened: privately, I am well into the process of pursuing this man, and when I first came forward there are some employers I went from regular with for years to never asked again. Since sharing this publicly the other day a number of insiders have come forward, as well as a couple of victims, with information that has totally shocked me. Someone has to refuse to back down eventually to stop the abuse.
