Deportation has taken away the father I once knew and given me back a person I no longer recognize.

Michael Prescott's report makes vital points about the importance of being accurate, and also how difficult that is. For instance, he describes himself as having been Political Editor of the Sunday Times for 10 years, which is not what the Guardian reported when he left the job.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

This report from RCEM, one of our coalition partners to end corridor care, should send shockwaves through govt.
It shows that standards have fallen so far that many no longer expect to be treated in clinically appropriate spaces.
We need data & transparency on how widespread corridor care is now.
