A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I’m very touched that so many of you have supported my wee fund raiser for @nhslothcharity.bsky.social tonight.
Being a patient isn’t a fun experience, but the staff of @nhslothian.bsky.social have treated me so well this last six months.
