Whilst it's looking increasingly unlikely that Huw Edwards will not return to presenting on the BBC in the near future, I find talk of his permanent departure premature.
It took the police just a few days to declare that no criminal offence had been committed relating The Sun's supposed allegations against him, which we know we're highly ambiguous anyway.
What we're waiting for is for the BBC to conclude their internal investigation into him. However, the way the BBC has completely disallowed any use of archive footage that includes him I find extreme.
This article from early September said that Huw is "still medically unfit to work" and also says this:
"Two months on, little is known about Edwards’ wellbeing or whether he plans to take legal action against The Sun or the BBC, which some believe is a possibility if he loses his job over the scandal.
Edwards has a reputation for defending himself robustly and few think he will go quietly should he make a good recovery from his mental health issues."
