Yesterday in two clips - breaking the news of Mike Jeffries' arrest. Then, hours later, prosecutor Breon Peace outlining the charges against him and the others accused during a press conference in New York. He has previously denied allegations of wrongdoing.

Congrats! to all those involved with C4’s coverage last night, which came out on top for me. It was as dynamic as it was informative — a hard slog over so many hours. Particularly impressed by the formidable and engaging @maitlis.
The audience data is in for the first part of #C4BritainDecides and we smashed it. Thanks to all those who watched and huge thanks to our amazing cast @krishgm @maitlis @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics @cathynewman @FryRsquared

As I write, this is at risk of being MASSIVELY overshadowed by events. But cabinet secretary Simon Case is meant to give evidence to #covidinquiry Thursday. Should have been last year but he was sick and only returned to work in January. Another long đŸ§”(sorry).

Lots of weird takes abt the nature of the Dispatches/Sunday Times collaboration as if it's a) a new thing b) some kind of establishment stitch-up. Papers & TV production companies have a long history of pooling resources on difficult, legally sensitive & costly investigations.

Anyone who works in investigations knows the care, consideration & resource that goes into breaking a story like this, inc. the legal checks that are rightly in place. Incredible reporting. Congratulations to @RosamundUrwin & colleagues @thetimes @C4Dispatches and @HardcashProd

Interesting day to be at the BBC. Whatever your view, I’m here for Joe Lycett’s wit.
I have informed the BBC that I am very much available for tomorrow’s #MOTD

There have been major leaks of public documents e.g. by Wikileaks and other sources in recent years - the press have worked in groups to redact where appropriate but make the docs searchable e.g. Panama Papers (icij.org/investigations/pana
). This is not that. This is cherry picking.

Katy seems lovely, so I’m (a bit) sorry to do this, but it’s been a while since my last super geeky numbers thread and apparently Mr Anderson still needs some help understanding @PregnantScrewed’s point Let’s start with take home pay and that student loan

Katy works for me. She is single & earns less than 30k, rents a room for ÂŁ775pcm in Central London, has student debt, ÂŁ120 a month on travelling to work saves money every month, goes on foreign holidays & does not need to use a foodbank. Katy makes my point really well.
