It continues

The spinning of who said what when, and to whom, in the BBC severance payments row continues, with The Sunday Times claiming Mark Thompson had written to BBC Trustee Antony Fry the day before the Public Accounts Committee, to stress his view that the Trust had been fully informed about "maximum payments" to Mark Byford and Sharon Baylay.

This set me musing on whether or not Ed Williams, UK CEO of Edelman, and former Director of Communications at the BBC, was still helping Thommo on BBC loose ends.

• Sideways research revealed that Ed is Deputy Chairman of the English National Ballet - where former BBC COO Caroline Thomson is Interim CEO, and former BBC Radio spinner, Sue Lynas is Communications Director.
