Look at what these Tate monsters did to my super-talented producer @HayleyMortimer as a result of her simply investigating their cultish leader.. Funny how you went for my female colleague and not me. What cowards.

I wasn’t going to give this any attention… but here’s a taster of the abuse I’ve been receiving today for publishing a story about Andrew Tate. It serves as an important reminder of the hold he has over disillusioned young men & how misogyny runs deep

This thread is sharing some #RMO stories anonymised. They echo exactly what @TheBMA @TheDA_UK found in our survey, amd what @PaulKenyonTV found for Newnight and File on Four. It is long past these agencies getting away with it. It is long past hosts turning a blind eye.

Replying to @NDUK_Doctors
I take courage in the stories of others. I take my pen and write their stories. Fact checked, and anonymised of course, for not everyone can claim the bravery of those 2 Doctors mentioned in the recent BBC article.
