    Proud of my Guardian investigations colleagues for this nomination for their exposure of Tory cronyism during the pandemic. A real team effort by more people that I can fit in a tweet. But  and were particularly indefatigable.

    This ruling is a big deal. It is also vindication for and for bringing the legal challenge. And credit to and for bringing the apparent cronyism to light in the first place.

    Credit to The Times for publishing this investigation into shocking allegations against Charlie Hanson, who has been removed from Netflix. Notable that after the Noel Clarke story Hanson said abusive behaviour in the industry is “not confronted enough”.

    I get that politicians can’t always be trusted to be straightforward with the truth. But if Cummings is right here, it follows that scientific advisers and civil servants will presumably have known the truth and been complicit in misleading the public.
