Probably the most important story I'll ever get to tell. Possibly also the hardest to read. Think it could never happen in your family? So did the parents of every single person who talked to me about being sexually abused as a child by an older brother.

“I’m Gemini with a Cancer moon, so I’m a control freak, but I am getting better.”

NEW - Comedian who worked with Russell Brand tells #Newsnight he had reputation for “getting angry or a bit nasty” if women wouldn’t sleep with him. Cole Parker first met RB in 1999 - & then worked with him for couple of yrs. His candid interview on tonight 1030pm BBC Two

Sad to see how many people say they resent the paywall to read our Russell Brand investigation.

It took 4 years. It took a team of top journalists, editors, lawyers and many more.

Investigations are not cheap. But they are v important - and we should all support them.

1./ Is the Russell Brand takedown a plot by the mainstream media? Of course not. In Plain Sight was a rigorously constructed and brilliantly made example of British current affairs documentary-making; in the finest tradition of Channel 4 Dispatches.

People who cheered and gave Russell Brand a standing ovation after the rape allegations need to give their heads a wobble.

Sickos.

A difficult read, but for journalism students, an example of how to do public interest journalism. Attention to sources, details, corroboration and opportunity to reply thetimes.co.uk/article/russel…

It’s ludicrous how many journalists are questioning why the Brand story didn’t happen sooner.

For those who genuinely don’t know - these sorts of stories need to be stood up with lots of evidence. The bigger the allegations and the bigger the personality the longer that takes

🔺 EXCLUSIVE: Russell Brand has been accused of rape and sexual assaults by women who have broken their silence on alleged attacks between 2006 and 2013

This is a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches
