       Wow, so The Sun went ahead with the (basically false) story about Huw Edwards knowing his history of mental health issues and now he's in hospital? Fucking scumbags.

       @ianbetteridge I don't know why anyone would be surprised. There's a reason that The Sun doesn't have good circulation in Liverpool and nothing much has changed in the last 35 years.

       @SamJSharpe Yeah. Even so, I would have thought someone there would have asked "are we sure about this?"

       @ianbetteridge @SamJSharpe It doesn't matter whether they're sure. The damage they want gets done either way.

       @mansr @ianbetteridge @SamJSharpe Is the Independent Press Standards Organisation likely to punish #TheSun?  If so, will it be a price worth paying for the extra circulation and notoriety?  If they're not punished, I can see it causing another stink about press regulation.

       @markusl @ianbetteridge @SamJSharpe How much is the damage to the BBC worth to them? Probably a lot more than any slap on the wrist they might receive over this.
