Trending on Twitter.

I'm assuming we can use this name given it’s a nonentity.

Has anyone been following? I’m disgusted but not necessarily shocked. Vile man.

Can you explain more?

I don’t want to get the thread pulled but I’d urge you to google/ investigate Twitter. Martin Branning is an alias for an odious journalist who appears to have been up to no good for quite some time.

This link has already been posted elsewhere on Mumsnet:

SEX SCANDAL: Dan Wootton latest Presenter to face allegations – DemocracyUnlocked

Thanks! I searched both names earlier and couldn’t see anything.

I don't think there's another thread, OP. He was just mentioned on a HE/PS thread.

See also Popbitch and Carol Vorderman on Twitter (CarolVorders).

I see that it has been trending on Twitter.

I’m surprised there’s not more being said given how vocal he was about PS. The alleged blackmailing and filming people having sex without their knowledge is absolutely shocking, never mind the predatory behaviour!

Dan Wotton? Couldn't happen to a nicer person.

Bloody hell. You’d think he would have stayed well away from the Schofield stuff!

Oh he's an absolute turd this doesn't surprise me ! Saying that in the link that has the email it.doesn't mention a Martin Branning but Mac who is a character in eastenders. 😄

Live by The Sun, Suffer from The Sun. Move along now DW, I expect the D Mail still has room for you. For now.

Somebody is definitely protecting him.

Perhaps legal concerns - or being protected, as a pp said.

As for him being very vocal about PS, 'the lady doth protest too much, methinks'. It's all got an air of distraction, smokescreen and hiding in plain sight about it.

He’s really awful. Tries to be Piers Morgan and Megyn Kelly. It’s a race to the bottom to see who can be the most hateful.

I think you mean pseudonym.

What's the carol Vorderman connection?

Hah, you beat me to it. 😁

Carol V also thinks he's a vile misogynist and he has insulted her often. She calls him out on twitter.

LizzieSiddal · 15/07/2023 05:54

@MoChridhe how brave of that man to come forward.
Dan Wotton has a lot of questions to answer and it sounds like the police should be asking them.
