Baby P: the failures and the fallout new
It is no surprise that heads have rolled, albeit belatedly, over the death of Baby P.
Ed Curran: Thanks Jonathan Ross, for making BBC clean up the airwaves
It’s an ill wind ... I am hopeful that a new sense of responsibility and concern for public taste will now emerge out of the ashes of the broadcasting standards which you and your friend, Russell Brand, set on fire.

Virginia Ironside: Why there should be no shame in standing by your man.
