Scott Mills has still not issues any public statement

Okay, so some updates now on the Scott Mills scandal, he still has not issued any public

statement. He is reported to have completely shut down following the news, leaving colleagues

and those close to him blindsided. BBC staff were informed via an internal email from

Lorna Clark, the director of music, describing the departure as sudden and unexpected, noting

it would come as a shock to loyal listeners. She promised further updates on show plans

when possible but declined to comment more. At the time, Gary Davis has continued to host

the breakfast show in the short term with O.J. Borg also covering, no permanent replacement

has been announced, betting odds currently favour Vernon Kay as the front runner, with

other names including Gary Davis, O.J. Borg, Ryland Clark and Clara Ampho in speculation.

The story continues to develop rapidly with widespread coverage, focusing on the timeline,

the prior police probe and the broader implications for the BBC, admit admit,

admit, should say, other recent presenter-related controversies. But this remains the primary

and most recent news involving Scott Mills, no other major developments really. So basically,

for most of the day, the only new information was that a charity that he was working with

has sort of parted company. And the other one is really just the news that the BBC has

finally admitted that it didn't investigate a second sort of complaint. And that's about it,

really. So nothing else to report there. So we do have some other news going on.

Rupert Myers is saying that unless there is a lot they aren't telling us, it looks like the BBC

has found a whole new way to mess up these incidents, in this case potentially, by overreacting

and following zero due process. Because the police have said in the last sort of three hours

that it's not received any new evidence related to Scott Mills. At this time, we have not received

any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation. As with any other matter,

we will assess new information. So it sounds like the police have not had any new information. So

the BBC has sacked Scott Mills based on the thing from 10 years ago. It's really weird.

Now Paul Embry on the issue of Trump who's been slugging off Britain all day,

it's amazing, he says, how so many people with the British flag in their bio are willing to

egg on a foreign leader, saying the most disparaging things about their country and its armed

forces. And that is so true. Back on to the Scott Mills, the BBC sacked Scott Mills after learning

of the investigation. This is politics UK. And the case was dropped because of a lack of evidence.

What else do we have here? Furken. This is back to the Trump thing. Massive, geopolitical shift and

expert confirms that the UK-US relationship has hit its lowest point since 1956. Washington is

launching daily attacks on the British government and the historic security alliance is completely

unraveling. The American Empire is isolating itself, he says. And the royal family has issued

this 10 hours ago on advice of his majesty's government and at the invitation of the president of

the US, the King and the Queen will undertake a state visit to the USA. The majesty's program

will celebrate the historic connection and the modern bilateral relationship between the UK and the

US. So as Simon Horne and he says, I am more than happy to be corrected, but I cannot recall when

I have seen this sort of post beginning with on advice of HMG. On this goes the point that

oversees royal travel is not by personal whim or choice of the monarch. The government has advised

the King to make the visit. It sounds like the King doesn't want to go, but he's being forced to go

by Keastama. Very interesting times.
