Apparently the biggest news story of the year is going to break over the weekend

[HuwEdwardsBottom]

It’s all overTwitter, or X as it’s now called. One of the Sunday papers is working on a massive story and all staff weekend leave has been cancelled. Channel 4 is showing an episode of ‘Dispatches’ tomorrow night at 9pm but haven’t said what it’s about and lots of people are putting two and two together and saying it’s in conjunction with the following days papers.

Who really cares about the private life of some comedian?

apparently It’s the times running it on Sunday. So it’s sounding bigger than a c list celeb

Agreed, not to mention the government of Niger being overthrown and weakening stability in the whole Sahel. Celebrity shenanigans barely qualifies as news let alone the biggest story of the year.

I've read my popbitch mail and had the sudden realisation that I've been subscribed for about 20 years now. Maybe more? Shocking. But funny.

But I still can't figure out any of the mystery hints.

We finally have evidence that David Icke is right?

MR TUMBLE IN TUMBLE WITH MELANIA TRUMP - SAYS IT WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL

Is it news news?

Or celebrity scandal news?

He was my thought at Justin as well😁

Does the times do celeb scandal?

If it's Savile level, then yes. :(

I don't know if it is Savile level, btw.

A celebrity scandal is going to be the biggest news story of the year?

If only that was the state of the world. Sadly there are far more important things in the news.

Fiver on David Williams if so

If the 'celeb' in question were important enough, maybe?

Maybe he’s been caught selling weed to the Mice on the Mouse Organ? 🤔

If it's celeb scandal I don't think it's that interesting. Something political would be.

🤣

Could be a #MeToo type scandal in the political world? I’m always more surprised when MP’s don’t cheat on their partners!

Dispatches is a serious and well respected current affairs programme. I doubt they would devote a 90 minute special to celebrity shagging or rehashing Schofield's questionable but legal goings on with an intern. Or a comedian being a bit of a perv. And even if it was as serious as Savile, if it's somebody still alive they couldn't reveal much as it might prejudice legal proceedings.

Don't tell me they've given Nadine Dorries a peerage after all...

If it's a 90 minute programme on C4 at 9pm on a Saturday night, then I'd say it's pretty big.

This was my first thought too.

Twitter/X seems to think it’s a fairly high profile politician though

Surely it's more likely to be political since The Sunday Times is running it? Unless it's another massive BBC/Saville type scandal, the ST would run that too.
They'd also run anything on Boris. Most of their readership detested him.

Yeah.

If it is a celeb scandal, I bet it is a very well known children's author and comedian.

I predict it will be that I finally hoovered the house after 5 weeks
