@ClarkeMicah Of course there isn't an extra hr of daylight, but I personally am experiencing an extra hr due to the adjusting of the clocks & the time I get up. I'm indifferent as to the clocks changing or not. I expect I would adjust eventually. I'm semi-retired, I get up when I want.

.@sandrafretsmith. I am sorry to have to inform you that there is no 'extra hour of daylight in the evening'. It does not exist. the amount of daylight is exactly the same. You have just got up earlier, and so started and finished work earlier. I wish you would do this without supporting laws which force me to do the same.

@ClarkeMicah Clocks are but a human invention to measure time. For the likes of us lazy gits like myself that go to bed late & so get up late an extra hour of daylight in the evening is a great bonus. Each to their own as the saying goes. It's a trivial matter through the course of the year.

@rsrtrongdoctor. Only once a year. When the clocks return to their natural psoition in October, nobody's sleep is disrupted.

@DailyMail Why should anyone feel sorry for her? She has no humanity, not an ounce of guilt at having been complicit in sending an innocent woman to prison for life. If she had done due diligence on Evan's reports & admitted her failings then I would perhaps have sympathy but she hasn't.

Prosecution expert witness in Lucy Letby case says reputation has been 'torn apart' by 'campaign of misinformation' against her trib.al/iWptvhp

@ContrarianJolly @tomfgoodwin You'd be surprised. My daughter's piano teacher had a piano in almost every room. Grand in the lounge, baby grand in the dining room, clavinova in the garage and a 'spare' baby grand in storage in the garage 🤦

@tomfgoodwin Can I just ask who puts a grand piano in front of the door to the kitchen

I know it’s a cliched insight but I’m always amazed now I hang out with people who have fairly large houses, we spend almost all the time in their kitchens. And for every house party, it’s the beating heart of it

@maddydrudge With a quoted figure of '1000000% guilty' I don't hold out much hope of you understanding the bona fide statistics 😂

Lucy Letby is 1000000% guilty and that documentary did a horrible job telling the full story. Shit just pissed me off so bad.

@suvsknowsbest @NeoDoc11 @guardian You're way behind. I think you need to do a bit more reading.

Letby's case was testified to by dozens of witnesses, including Drs, nurses parents etc.. They testified that Letby was present when babies unexpectedly collapsed; no other nurses were witnessed to be around these collapsing babies. If there were poor environmental factors at the hospital or poor standard of treatment, each nurse would have a similar chance of having a baby die in their presence, unexpectedly. But that didn't happen. There were 15 deaths during 163 shifts when Lucy Letby was on duty, compared to two deaths during the 635 shifts when she was not on duty. Like most murders, the actual act was not witnessed but she was witnessed immediately after the collapses. She was witnessed doing nothing to help the babies and medical equipment was muted, which has to be set by somebody. Several of these babies that collapsed, had severe physical injuries that were witnessed by experts directly after Letby was around them. Doctors found an air embolism in at least one baby, directly after Letby was around them and a rare rash was seen on several babies related to this; contrary to Dr. Shoo Lee, new research from Japan proves that this specific rash does occur with air embolism. Air embolisms can only occur when somebody injects the air...there is no other way for this to happen. Several babies were found to have lethal amounts of synthetic insulin in their blood; synthetic insulin cannot be produced naturally by the body. In a self confession she states: • "I killed them on purpose" • "I am a horrible evil person" • "I AM EVIL I DID THIS" Letby illegally took home 257 confidential medical records and put them in chronological order with no intention of returning them. This is a sackable offence and can result in criminal convictions. Parents witnessed Letby's unusual behaviour and strange comments ....and more! #letbychildmurderer #letbybabykiller #letbypsychopath

Really happy to see this amazing investigative journalism work by @guardian - credit to Felicity Lawrence and David Conn. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/m… So what now? Unfortunately, I suspect you will find that neither Hindmarsh, nor the GMC, nor Cheshire Police, nor the CPS technically breached the rules. That said, the probity of Hindmarsh is certainly questionable. More importantly, I would argue that the actions - or lack of action - by the GMC, aided and abetted by Hindmarsh’s lawyers (presumably funded by his defence union), are what really need to be called out. Let me elaborate. Suppose a number of people - patients and/or staff members - make complaints about someone to an NHS Trust. These complaints may be vexatious, mistaken but made in good faith, well-evidenced, or any combination of the above. The Trust is then obliged to investigate. If the allegations are sufficiently serious, the Trust may impose interim conditions (e.g. gardening leave/re-deployment etc) on the individual pending a formal investigation, usually conducted under the MHPS framework (Maintaining High Professional Standards). The quality of such investigations can vary enormously - from thorough and evidence-based to little more than carpet-sweeping exercises, with many possibilities in between. However, if the Trust ultimately concludes that serious misconduct may have occurred, it is required to refer the matter to the GMC. What happens next? The GMC reviews the information provided by the Trust and decides whether the case warrants a formal investigation. Importantly, the hearing itself is not conducted by the GMC but by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS). The GMC may impose interim restrictions on practice while the case awaits tribunal. The MPTS then examines the evidence and determines the outcome. Now consider where Hindmarsh stood during the Letby trial. He was clearly under formal investigation by his Trust. However, he was not strictly obliged to disclose this. The guidance only requires experts to declare matters they believe could significantly influence the proceedings. A competent lawyer could easily argue that Hindmarsh considered the allegations unfounded and therefore did not believe they were relevant to the case. In that sense, it could be framed as a private employment matter. That is simply a consequence of how lax the rules governing expert witnesses are in this country. The next question could be, however, what would an honourable person be reasonably expected to do in that situation? Well, I would suggest that Hindmarsh could have said to Cheshire police/the CPS: “We have a problem. I am currently under investigation by my Trust for X, Y and Z. These are the allegations, this is the evidence, and this is my response. Are you still comfortable using me as an expert witness while this is ongoing?” Did Hindmarsh do that? According to the police, as per this article, he did not. Now the next question. When Hindmarsh was referred to the GMC, they imposed severe interim restrictions pending an MPTS tribunal. Hindmarsh DID disclose that to the police. But they are now saying they never saw the Trust investigation (referred to in this article as “inquiry” which is what Trust formal investigation reports are often called) that actually led to the GMC referral in the first place. So next obvious question. Did @cheshirepolice and the @CPSUK really understand how serious the allegations made against Hindmarsh by his own Trust were? What expertise were they relying on to judge how significant that referral actually was? Without someone who understands how these regulatory processes work, they may not even have realised that there would be a formal inquiry report for them to ask for. This, once again, is evidence that @cheshirepolice were completely out of their depth with this investigation in several respects. When investigators do not fully understand the systems they are dealing with, important lines of inquiry can easily be missed. In this case, as we have seen time and again, @cheshirepolice appear to have overlooked large amounts of evidence that simply did not fit their “serial killer” narrative. That should be deeply embarrassing - not just for the police, but for a criminal justice system that, more than a year after the CCRC application was filed, still appears unable to confront the scale of this MoJ. The information now emerging in the media has been known to Letby’s current legal team for many months. Next question. Why does it have to be exposed by investigative journalists for the CCRC to take actions to resolve this clear MoJ? @VeraBaird And back to Hindmarsh. If I were an honourable person who believed I had been vexatiously referred to the @gmcuk following a flawed or rogue Trust investigation - something that does happen, particularly to whistleblowers - I would be keen to clear my name before an MPTS tribunal. So next question is - did Hindmarsh do that? No. Instead, he removed himself from the GMC register and thus avoided the tribunal. Now, it is possible he simply had enough and did not want to go through the tribunal process. MPTS hearings, like the criminal justice system itself, can sometimes go badly wrong and lead to miscarriages of justice. He is also an old man with a good pension and is likely financially secure. From that perspective, one could understand the “I can’t be bothered with this” reaction - choosing to walk away rather than endure a long, stressful public process at the end of a career. That said, if someone had attempted to smear my name in that way at the end of my professional life, I would definitely want the opportunity to clear it, rather than choose to step away. Unless, of course, there was another reason - namely that a full hearing might have brought matters into the public domain that one would prefer to have remained behind closed doors for good… The Letby case is an epic miscarriage of justice enabled by systemic flaws AND by individuals operating within those systems who either lack sufficient experience or have motivations that are not aligned with “doing the right thing”. So the issue is not simply one of system failure or individual failure. It is both. System flaws can, in principle, be fixed relatively easily. Cultural problems - where the wrong people occupy positions of authority are much harder to address. Accountability at senior levels in this country is currently as good as non-existent. And until that changes, MoJs – which both mean innocent people being scapegoated and guilty people escaping scrutiny - and often being promoted as a consequence, aka “falling upwards” - will continue to happen. There is still more "dirt" to come out. Thank goodness for intelligent and hard-working investigative journalists and for the brave whistleblowers who continue to come forward. @drphilhammond @PrivateEyeNews @guardiannews @LucyLetbyTrials @Channel4News @channel5_tv @SkyNews @BBCNews @DavidDavisMP @ShabanaMahmood @ccrcupdate @cheshirepolice @CPSUK @cheshirepolice @hannahsbee @MartynPitman @drcmday @amandaknox @Michelehal7344 @reasonoverfear @ShaunLintern @Voice4theDead @VeraBaird

@p1154 @guyrowlanduk Yep, that was my immediate first thought and Cheshire Police took.

@guyrowlanduk CPS is throwing Hindmarsh under the bus. They are definitely trying to distance themselves from this MOJ.

Hindmarsh testified in Lucy Letby's trial incorrectly that insulin tests essentially proved poisoning. Cheshire Police and the CPS now say he did not tell them about an ongoing malpractice investigation against him. Have attempts to distance from this whole calamity begun?

@JabesAllowed @Voice4theDead I have just listened to the whole interview. Don't mess with Shoo Lee. He is very thorough, knows exactly what he is talking about & leaves nothing much unexplained. Completely trashed Dewi Evans evidence. Shoo Lee IS an expert unlike Evans.

Dr Shoo Lee demolishes Dewi Evans' theory of air embolism. Clipped from his interview with The Sun. #LucyLetby youtube.com/shorts/usN7rLo…

@LucyLetbyTrials @lizhull I'm sure Shoo Lee will be sat at home devastated that he has been caught out lacking in his decades of expert knowledge of neonatology & air embolism by a garbage journalist for a trashy British newspaper. This is so going to ruin his day. Try a bit harder @lizhull 😂

Amazing! @lizhull managed to misinterpret a recent paper in the *exact* same way the prosecution's lead expert witness misinterpreted research into vascular pulmonary air embolism when to accused Lucy Letby of injecting air into babies' veins. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@ankitkant At least they got a discharge summary. My daughter was discharged without meds or a discharge summary. Didn't get any meds or summary until after the weekend despite numerous phone calls.

I was answering queries involving supporting a patient in opening a pdf this evening at 7pm as the hospital hadn't provided them with a discharge summary directly. I would rather have been supporting my palliative patients with actual care. But I MUST reply the same day and my team had rightly gone home.

@ankitkant @RobertJ07695072 Took my anorexic ASD daughter to GP yesterday asked for referral to CMHT. GP was lovely but told us bluntly that if we could afford it to go private because CMHT would reject her as she's too complex (what the hell is the CMHT for 🤷) & ED service is crap. There is no help/hope.

@RobertJ07695072 So is General Practice. That is not triage that is intentional delay tactics to avoid seeing patients.

1/9 It's a Saturday night and I am logged in trying to understand what else I can do for several of my patients. It's soul destroying to spend hours trying to get help with the mental health team saying No repeatedly. Here's a quick list of reasons to date...

@LucyLetbyTrials I would say for him to be prepared to say that on a Netflix docu he is feeling more than a 'tiny' bit of doubt. I suspect his conscience will be keeping him awake at night. Bizarre that he would announce that publicly though.

"LETBY BOMBSHELL 'Did we get the WRONG person?' Doc who helped convict Lucy Letby reveals doubt over evidence & says 'I live with guilt'" thesun.co.uk/news/38104614/…

@TobeHon29809726 To be fair, it was always going to be that way & it isn't going to affect the ongoing route to justice. Interesting though that Dr Gibbs was prepared to say on camera that he has a hint of doubt regarding guilt. Clearly the 'tiny' doubt is much bigger than he's letting on.

Not impressed by the Netflix show. There was no mention of: Widespread bacteria in the water logged on the hospitals HIGH RISK CHART before any babies died - especially as a similar cover up has recently been exposed in Glasgow. Netflix are guilty of covering it up too by not mentioning it. Proof that Jayaram and Brearey lied to the Police to pique their interest and it was that which started the whole case Failing to mention that the shift chart they showed was rigged Failing to mention that Chester CPS told the police (against the rules) to stand down the statistician whose intelligent approach would have wrecked their rigged chart No mention of Evans changing his evidence No mention of Lucy being charged with murder on a day when she wasn’t at work No mention of Brearey and malpractice with Baby O No mention that one of the accusing medics was responsible for the death of Noah Robinson in 2014 by putting the breathing tube in the wrong place OR Shoo Lee saying they ‘didn’t know what they were doing’ No mention of the Shoo Lee panel’s finding that a trainee Dr had put the wrong sized tube into Baby K causing 94% of oxygen leaking out. No mention of Jayaram being called by Lucy when Baby K was desaturating No mention of Jayaram lying about Lucy not calling him Not a word about Jayaram doing nothing about the wrong sized tubs Not a word about him saying nothing about what he later claimed for 18 months Nothing said about Baby D’s mother having to stop her negligence case against the hospital once Lucy was arrested for her child’s murder. Despite including some of Shoo Lee’s comments they leave out many crucial ones including his reference to sub optimal care and how his hospital in Canada would have been shut down if the care was as bad as it was in Countess of Chester and riddled with various bacteria lethal to man but especially to very low gestation neonates No mention of the negative RCPCH report OR the unit being degraded so they couldn’t take neonates under 32 weeks as they clearly couldn’t look after them. ETC

@nee_massey Firth Stainless, the origin of stainless steel. Sheffield was the centre of the metallurgical/cutlery world back in the day.

I can’t remember where this knife came from, but it’s probably older than me. Think it came from the church I used to work in. Still, I always pick it out first, it’s nimble, spreads well. Look at the handle, slowly getting eaten up by soap, think it might be ivory. Good knife.

@LucyLetbyTrials How convenient. I hope this doesn't protect him from scrutiny over the massive miscarriage of justice he has allowed to occur under his watch..... and no, I won't be wishing him a happy retirement. I hope his conscience gives him years of disquiet as it deserves to.

@RichardHor54460 @Voice4theDead @Tikanga999 You can smell the desperation in every move they're making. It's very transparent and obvious. Their motives are clear unlike the ones they attempted to trump up for Lucy Letby.

@Tikanga999 That police team is absolutely out of control. An independent senior police team need to come in and have a good look at the culture and practices of the entire Cheshire force.

It's revealing & alarming that Cheshire Police should publicly challenge the CPS. The police DO NOT prosecute cases, they are supposed to investigate & gather evidence, leaving it to the CPS, Courts & Juries to decide. They now look like complete buffoons. dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

@northerness @guyrowlanduk "Our thoughts are with, and always will be with, the families affected." So, with that in mind they chose to sell it to Netflix just to open the wounds they have created a bit further. Despicable. A desperate, but too late, attempt to try & demonstrate credibility.

Cheshire Police have sunk to a new low. They appear to have sold Lucy Letby footage exclusively to Netflix. Time for the real investigation to start - into Cheshire Police. (1/2) youtube.com/watch?v=x93eZD…

@GrahamTanner121 @RexvsLucyLetby Also, I thought he was no longer registered with GMC 🤔.

@RexvsLucyLetby Do you get the feeling that there is a whacking great big dollop of desperation being served up here? This is all after the publication of the briefing paper that tore the thing to shreds. You have to ask about the timing of these things.

Letby may have been involved in another baby death, ‘expert witness’ claims Dr Dewi Evans says former nurse ‘very likely’ to have harmed ‘infant 17’ Archive link: archive.ph/sO2Uw telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/0…

@GrahamTanner121 @RexvsLucyLetby Absolutely, it's absurdly clear that's he's just trying to salvage his already trashed reputation. He'd be much wiser to keep his mouth shut but he's far too arrogant for that, and certainly not wise 🙄

@SlenderSherbet @Mob1967 Strictly speaking you could injure them with your bike just so long as you are not cycling on it at the time. Like throw it at them or wheel it in to them 😂

@Mob1967 Well the way I read it, I can carry on injuring as many as I always have, young and old. Just without my bike.

A shame that I can't cycle but as long as they're still letting me injure young children and the elderly I'm good.
