15.09.2026 โข The Day the Letby Inquiry Found Babies Could Have Been Saved
โจ
Overnight scrutiny of Reform UK's ยฃ72m crypto donations lingered, with Farage insisting they were 'legal today', while attention turned to AI after Trump called safety fears a 'hoax' despite congressional pressure for guardrails.
By midday the Letby inquiry took over. The report into the Countess of Chester Hospital found a 'complete failure' of management and that three babies murdered by nurse Lucy Letby could have been saved if police had been called sooner. Coverage focused on missed warnings and criticism of a doctor described as putting Letby before patients.
The government responded with an 'urgent' plan for 'cot cams' in every neonatal unit.
Late coverage noted the resignation of the Reform Wales leader after arrest on suspicion of assault, and a return to the AI debate as Nvidia's chief rejected new laws and OpenAI's Sam Altman prepared to speak.
