Agree. Can’t believe it took so long.
Fantastic news this.
There is, however, a "but."
Andrew should have been stripped of his titles, his privilege and his place in the pecking order years ago.
This is the Firm desperately and ruthlessly distancing itself from its most obviously toxic member... because it has to in order to survive.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.
I'm talking about something very different.
Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.
Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.
But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿♂️

Sounds like Labour now!
When the LibDems got into power after 100 years, they went back on every promise they had ever made and helped the Tories inflict the suffering of austerity on ordinary people for the recklessness of the banks.
Never forget that.

“Free speech is an inalienable right.”
Unless you want to protest genocide, refer to someone with their correct pronouns, criticise someone for being a bigot, boycott an organisation for their human rights abuses, etc. Then politicians aggressively try to regulate and police speech. It’s perverse.

Starmer abandoned all principles and betrayed most who voted for him despite being handed a majority that could have been truly transformative, he’s given us more of the same and the culture wars feel worse than they have ever been.
Piers Morgan, "It's a shambles"
"Most people in this country feel like Labour has lost control, don't really know what they're doing, the country is rudderless, and they're crying out for proper leadership"
Feels like Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak all over again 🤷♂️

Anyone wondering how Germany ended up with Hitler and gas chambers?
It was having this sort of stuff normalised.
America is in a dark place that this could be said on a mainstream station with no repercussions.

We’ve seen posts on social media claiming the @premierleague is “banning” rainbow laces and armbands this season.
It’s no longer taking part in Stonewall’s ‘Rainbow Laces’ campaign, but rainbow laces haven’t been banned.

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me.
His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.
