Here is my BAFTA speech in full, with the important bit that hasn't been shown.
Also, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us, and to our colleagues who rallied around us. And thank you to @BAFTA and the judges for a great evening and a great honour.

My god- this is so bad!
Gary Neville has had the courage and integrity to call out the division and hate that's on the rise in this country and here are some middle aged men proving his point- by verbally abusing him infront of his wife/partner.
Horrible!
On behalf of ethnic minorities- we thank you @GNev2

NHS NURSE FILED 13 SAFETY WARNINGS. A PATIENT DIED.
Linda Fairhall spent 40 years in the @NHS without a single blemish on her record. She managed a team of 50 district nurses at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust (@NteesHpoolNHSFT).
Praised by the Care Quality Commission for her leadership. Exactly the kind of nurse you want running a department.
Then she noticed something dangerous.
A new policy landed in 2015 requiring district nurses to monitor patients taking prescribed medication. Nobody added extra staff.
The result was 1,000 extra home visits a month on the same stretched team.
Linda filed a safety concern. Then another. Then another. Thirteen in total, each one warning that patients and staff were at serious risk.
Nobody acted.
In October 2016, a patient died. Linda said it could have been prevented if management had listened.
That same month she told her manager she wanted to start the formal whistleblowing process.
She went on annual leave.
She came back to find she'd been suspended.
The grounds?
Vague allegations of bullying and gross misconduct. The tribunal later found that not a single specific allegation had ever been put to her.
The investigation was built on what the judge called "themes" and "perceptions" with no actual examples. She remained suspended for 18 months.
During those 18 months, Linda was still recovering from breast cancer. Her partner died of a heart attack. Her teenage son was unwell. The trust pressed on regardless.
She was sacked in April 2018.
The tribunal found the dismissal was materially influenced by her whistleblowing. Found the investigation inadequate and unreasonable. Found the trust could not genuinely have believed she was guilty of any misconduct.
The trust appealed. The Employment Appeal Tribunal dismissed it in 2021, calling the original findings "unimpeachable."
In May 2022, Linda was awarded £462,612. She will never work as a nurse again.
Forty years of service. Thirteen safety warnings. One preventable death. One destroyed life.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

The White House deleted this embarrassing video. So whatever you do- * DON'T REPOST IT. * Donald wouldn't like it if you hit "repost."
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Sorry mate, but that’s not a scandal. A scandal is more like when an MP is seen with Eddy Butler, a former BNP activist and founder member of Nazi group Combat 18.

Arshad Khatana has the most abhorrent and shocking views. So why has Rachel Reeves been “friends” with this fanatic for over a decade? Why, as Chancellor, is she going round his house for lunch?

@Buntingfootball Is your hypothesis based on the fact that Roefs is already injured, or are you speculating on him being injured tomorrow night?
