Why could Ben Myers find no expert witnesses to defend the insulin poisoning theory, whereas Mark McDonald has found plenty? Letby’s fate was effectively sealed at the pre-trial expert meeting, when experts on both sides agreed exogenous insulin had been given to two babies,

The IRS will soon begin enforcing Form 1099-DA, a major change in how digital assets are reported. The biggest shift: You’ll now have to track cost basis per wallet, not universally across all wallets. Here’s what that means and how to get ready...

As someone who has never much bothered to promote his rather excellent books, can I say how delighted I am that Sex, Sleep or Scrabble? had been translated into Portuguese. It has just been spotted in a pound shop in Porto. If anyone else has a copy, do let me know.

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻 In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year. Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it. ***** "I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often

Police allowed people into the Capitol on January 6. 300 people were permitted to enter through the Upper West Terrace doors. Watch the whole way as it gets better and better. I'm the guy with the US flag bandana that the officer opens the door for at 1:02. Follow me for more

"The chief prosecution expert in the Lucy Letby trial has called on the police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to 'set the record straight' over the death of one of the babies." Police & CPS have refused to give Evans' new report to the defence:

Wow! Prosecutor Nick Johnson KC: "We accepted unequivocally that Dr Evans had not in effect played by the rules." "Ultimately, my Lady, it really comes down to this, we submit, because Dr Evans gave evidence the way he did, that should have ruled him out as an expert in this

Very powerful, reasoned and detailed argument from @NathanJRobinson re Letby “There is, at this point, no compelling evidence that Lucy Letby is a serial killer, and she needs to be released from prison. To be clear: this does not mean Letby is definitely innocent. It is
"Lucy Letby Should Be Released Immediately: the nurse branded Britain’s most notorious serial killer is clearly not 'guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.'" @NathanJRobinson with a comprehensive breakdown of the escalating concerns over Letby's convictions:

While I respect your efforts to push back against misinformation in the media, I don’t think that’s possible with yellow press journalists. They are not journalists really - they are click-driven propagandists, more interested in headlines than truth. I worry that giving people

A week ago, having attended the premiere of Conviction: The Case of Lucy Letby in which lead prosecution medical expert in the Lucy Letby case, Dr Dewi Evans, featured greatly, I posted on X that I would publish my email correspondence with him. Here it is -
Having watched the film last night, I have decided that I will be publishing my email correspondence with Dewi Evans. So many lies. And I will tag @cheshirepolice and @CPSUK. They need to know what a mistake they made hiring him. Watch this space. Lucy Letby’s case must be

Lucy Letby – Murder or Mistake? (Channel 4, 29 September) was pretty much the Dewi Evans show, writes MD in the latest Eye. The lead prosecution expert declared the neonatal nurse to be “evil” and “guilty as sin”. He dismissed the Eye (“that well known scientific journal”) as

In today’s @PrivateEyeNews I reveal how Countess of Chester Consultants framed the arguments against Letby to “pique the interest” of the police, & what they disagreed about. It reveals the danger of allowing doctors to investigate collapses and deaths which may implicate them.

OK, so the “I’m right, everyone else is wrong, and I’m going to come up with some offensive phrases to show I’m so much cleverer than everyone else” continues… But I am worried that this is distracting attention from the many other culprits in this case... I am also concerned

Over the past year, I have spoken with numerous experts raising concerns about aspects of the Lucy Letby trial. Given the weight of people raising concerns, I believe the case should be retried with proper expert witnesses. My interview on TalkTV today: https://t.co/gv5CC1RTKR

In the Ch4 documentary I was asked: when did the prosecution know about the baby C X-ray problem. As I said the prosecution can be seen already trying to wrangle the paradox in their opening speech. The first document is the draft of the prosecution speech distributed to

I know what you’re thinking. He’s 63 and he can’t even brush his hair properly. How can he have anything useful to say on the case? Fortunately, I am completely blown off the screen by Dewi Evans body language. @PrivateEyeNews
