BBC: Is Robert Peston Sick? Illness And Health Update
No, Robert Peston is not sick. He is completely fine.
He is caught in the line of fire after he posted a status two hours ago regarding Allegra Stratton. He may have been trying to smother the flames she had been engulfed with; instead, he seems to have caught it.
The public had taken to Twitter to construe their opinion of him, asking him to speak up about that fateful day almost a year ago. However, after his status, many have decided they had had enough of his words.
He has elicited the fury of the public, and he has fallen in their eyes. One has responded in the thread as “This calls your judgment into question more than hers.”
I’ve known @AllegraCOP26 for years. She was a brilliant colleague on the show. As I would expect, she has done the honourable thing, and swiftly resigned. Whatever you think of what she said in the clip obtained by @itvnews, she is a model for many in modern politics…
