EXCLUSIVE: the ex-BBC junior employee who told me on #Newsnight a year ago they’d received inappropriate messages from Huw Edwards says hearing that the TV presenter had child sexual abuse images on WhatsApp ‘made them feel sick’ 

Thread 🧵 👇
The former BBC staffer tells me their ‘concern lies first and foremost with the children who are victims of the images Edwards had’

Says senior BBC leaders ‘clearly have questions  to answer about how they handled the situation in November, like why they continued to pay Edwards an increased salary after knowing the allegations, although I appreciate the legal/HR complications of the whole thing’
When they first shared their experiences with @BBCNewsnight a year ago they said they ‘had no idea the story would eventually take such a dark turn’ 

‘The most senior BBC journalist felt able to abuse his position of power in several ways, from inappropriate messages to members of staff he did not know, to much darker activity on WhatsApp in conversation with a convicted paedophile’

‘Richard Sharp’s undergoing 2 investigations, but he’s not suspended….whereas Gary Lineker’s suspended while work goes on to decide what guidelines shld cover his tweets. That doesn’t seem fair does it?’

Ex-Ed of Sun Telegraph, crossbench peer Baroness Wheatcroft on @BBCr4today
Richard Sharp is Chairman of BBC. When applying for the job, he didn’t disclose his role in introducing a wealthy cousin who wanted to help then PM Boris Johnson with his finances, to cabinet secretary Simon Case. He’s being investigated by BBC & office of public appointments.
Mr Sharp was the government’s preferred candidate for the job. It was in the public domain that he is a Conservative Party donor.

Meet Sophie Weaver. She’s 53, lives in Mersea Island nr Colchester, Essex & uses a wheelchair all the time (she has Stills disease which is a kind of arthritis - diagnosed aged 6). She tells me she lives a full life: she’s a town councillor & a member of the local drama group 🧵
As she lives on her own, she has 24 hr care & has done for years. Carers - called personal assistant (PAs) - who’s she known for ages & who she trusts, help her do - well, pretty much everything….
• go to the loo
• get in & out of bed
• dress & undress
• wash & shower
• cook
• laundry
• drive her to the supermarket 9 miles away in Colchester, & town council meetings etc

Sophie says ‘everything in my life happens because of the personal assistants.’

Linda Evangelista breaks her silence about the ‘fat-freezing’ procedure she says has left her "permanently deformed" & brutally disfigured." She’s suing the company behind it for $50 million alleging she's been unable to work since undergoing seven sessions of ‘CoolSculpting’
She says after treatment, her chin, thighs & bra area started to bulge. The areas she'd wanted to shrink were growing, before turning numb. She began dieting & exercising more. "I got to where I wasn't eating at all. I thought I was losing my mind."
Finally she went to her doctor. ‘I was bawling, & I said, 'I haven't eaten, I'm starving. What am I doing wrong?’ He diagnosed her with Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH).‘I was like,what the hell is that?' He told me no amount of dieting/exercise was ever going to fix it.’

These are not wealthy people with cash sitting in bank accounts. They are people who are so desperate and often in such pain, they are taking out bank loans or setting up crowdfunding pages to raise funds to go private.
Sofia Jones had endometriosis - which was so bad, some days the pelvic pain she experienced meant she couldn’t get out of bed or walk.

Judging from @BBCNews viewers today, it’s not quite true *no one* cares about the refurbishment of the Downing St flat & what that says about standards/integrity/transparency when it come to the PM...
Sue Hayward wrote: it does matter because I’m a council employee as a carer. Every year I have to make a declaration that I haven’t had any loans or gifts that may have a council interest . And it needs to come from the top.
Veronica Tippins wrote: as long as it’s been paid for by the PM it’s of no interest to me if it’s a late declaration or not.
