Great work by the @chloehadj this couple should be ashamed
Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with The Salt Path: the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. It became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.
But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.

This depressing news. The end of Hardtalk on BBC News. @stephensackur created the gold standard in how to conduct an accountability interview - speaking truth to power. Thanks to you and the Hardtalk team for the incredible public service over so many years.

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

It was more by luck than design that I ended up right in front of Huw Edwards as he arrived at the magistrates court in what was one of the worse press scrums I've been in for a long while. #HuwEdwards #bbc #news #court #police #pressphotography #thetimes

In a rare interview Rupert Murdoch has said he thinks print newspapers will end in 15 years: "You get on a train.. you see anyone with a paper? You see no one. Now they're reading all the facts on their phones". He also said AI "will put people out of work"skynews.com.au/business/medi…

One of our finest broadcast journalists set to leave Newsnight and the BBC. It would be less of a moment if the Corporation was committed to offering audiences what Mark has done. To allow so much ability to disappear and not be replaced is to betray public service broadcasting
🚨personal news🚨I’ll be leaving the BBC at the end of May. Newsnight in its current format will end then, so most posts will go. I decided not to apply for other BBC jobs. Working there for 35 yrs has been life defining: an eyewitness to history collaborating with such brilliant colleagues. But it’s time for a change
