How many editors took hospitality from Al Fayed or worse? The very papers who attack the CPS today. The very papers that attack Starmer for going to a football game. Historians: Go back and look at those UK papers that printed Fayed’s lie that MI5 had killed Dodi and Diana. Ask

The wait is over—here’s the official video for “Love is Enough.” Working with the Bath Philharmonia Young Carers’ Choir on this song has been so special.
