The Guardian has done a gushing interview with dullard podcaster Jon Sopel. When asked about his public and constant support for Huw Edward as The Sun first reported allegations last year, Sopel ran out this old chestnut: “I’ve known Huw a long time, but we weren’t mates, hadn’t seen each other socially.” That’s not what was said back then…

In fact, Sopel is widely reported as being Edwards’ “friend.” Quite a change from “I don’t know what went on at The Sun… it was nonsense” to“I’m not going to defend anything that he’s done. It’s absolutely abhorrent.” Jon’s going to be rolling back for some time…
