Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.

Good to hear BBC focus on support for NHS whistleblowing and reminded of my own 15 minutes of fame 10 years ago this week. A 75th NHS birthday wish: freedom to speak up shines its light in every corner of healthcare bbc.co.uk/news/health-66…
