Quick thoughts before today starts:
Tony Chambers is an absolute abomination. I honesty think he has diagnosable narcissistic personality disorder. Coming straight afterwards, Ian Harvey was bound to look sympathetic by simply being normal!
I think Ian Harvey has studied Tony Chambers and Alison Kelly and learned how to not look like a total bleep. Hence giving a half-decent apology, trying to answer questions directly, not pretending he was too important to do his own job etc.
But he had his moments. Twice he rudely refused point blank to give any answer, Letby style. There was also a lot of I don’t recalls, and pretending to not answer the questions.
He was happily launching the consultants under the bus for missing the insulin babies, and for not telling him about Baby K.
He stubbornly refused to listen to the barristers point that all the reviews they commissioned were categorically not designed and not likely to find wrongdoing.
Ian Harvey stubbornly kept saying that the reviews should have found *something*. He kept saying ut should have found the insulin babies - missing the point that as non-forensic investigations the reviews were limited to things that were known about. The insulin victims didn’t even collapse! No wonder they weren’t reviewed.
And the little that the reviews did find (like Jane Hawdon saying four babies needed forensic investigation), he still treated it as no evidence of Lucy doing harm.
I wasn’t sure if Ian Harvey is truly as ignorant as he seems (bearing in mind he was a surgeon!) or cleverly putting on a realistic show of ignorance.
But a lady who knows him sitting next to me has just confirmed Ian Harvey is a nasty arrogant wick who is just making himself look good. So I suspect he’s just very good at answering the questions and making himself look as reasonable as possible. He’s much more intelligent than the other bleeps.
I agree. IH in all the documentary evidence and others verbal evidence comes across as a grade A
bleep. Because he is. Tony Nigel Chambers is a cognitively challenged, egotistical Grade A
bleep (and Smelly Kelly seemed be suffering from a bit of brain fog too), but Harvey is a calculated Grade A
bleep. He is just a better communicator verbally than the others - anyone who can order 'all emails to cease' about people whistleblowing a serial killer is a
fool. I have had 28 jobs in my time from working in Superdrug to a Band 8a in the NHS and nobody, customer, colleague or stakeholder has ever told me to 'cease'. It's a terrible thing to order and very unprofessional.

I truly do not understand why they all just uncritically accepted the involvement of Mummy and Daddy Letby. HR and the unions should have been waving those red flags all over the place that it's not normal. There's clear enmeshment going on it that family and it would make me back off, anyone who lets their parents get involved in their work life to that level has not got a healthy psychological landscape and has most likely got an arrested development. It's totally bonkers how they all fell for it. The Letby's being disappointed and challenging the Chief Exec that their letter didn't get read out in the Board meeting is saying how
ducked up they and their serial killer daughter really are.

gutted I didn't get to thank him now (and on behalf of tattle) ha x
more waffle than Birdseye. 
Yes, people do need independent support and advocates if they are doing through these things, but bringing your dad in to shout at people in person and on the phone and your mum to cry and read out whiny statement should have been seen as unacceptable.
