Monica Lennon: “This ‘contest’ reeks of misogyny and male entitlement. That’s the road to nowhere.”

While my policy has always been not to comment on staffing matters, these allegations are completely untrue and defamatory.

I think when people make vexatious complaints or do hit jobs in the media, then that undermines genuine concerns and cases.

Our values mean nothing without vision, conviction and committed action.

I don’t understand what’s behind it, but what I do know is it’s untrue.
