I’m really feeling the loss of Newsnight. Leaves a huge gap in the TV schedules for reports that go into more depth than a news segment, without the long lead time and investment required for a full Panorama-style investigation.

Kunsburg said in answer to why she & the bbc were SO keen to cover the Raynor story was because the Daily Mail was reporting it!

'Incorrect' is when you misspell someone's name.

What Julia means is that on this particular occasion her attempt to use a horrible incident thousands of miles away about which she (and us) knew nothing in order to stir up racism, hatred and division backfired.

An unexpectedly moving account of yet another unhappy consequence of putting our national destiny in the hands of ignorant & venal politicians. Their supporters, to whom most media still panders, will respond by saying:“Don’t care. Don’t like spaghetti.” theguardian.com/food/2024/apr/…

🚨personal news🚨I’ll be leaving the BBC at the end of May. Newsnight in its current format will end then, so most posts will go. I decided not to apply for other BBC jobs. Working there for 35 yrs has been life defining: an eyewitness to history collaborating with such brilliant…

Excellent from John O'Farrell

John O'Farrell pointing out why #BBCLauraK keeps on pushing a non-story about Angela Rayner. She did not like that one bit. See how quickly she tries to move on. 🔥😬

Hundreds of thousands fewer disabled people could receive cold weather payments under the Conservatives’ planned post-election disability benefit reforms, according to a leaked internal government report.

By me, for the Observer theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

Numerous article from the BBC on Rayner…

Including one from Kuenssberg that says:

“with the police investigating, Angela Rayner is in trouble.”

Yet zero articles on Conservative Party being fined by the Electoral Commission for underreporting donations

Why is that BBC News (UK)?

'We go now to Lord Lebedev of Siberia for comment'

This attack in Sydney, which claimed the lives of seven people was carried out by a white surfer from Queensland called Joel Cauci. It had nothing whatsoever to do with Islam or immigration.

Will Julia Hartley-Brewer delete this and apologise?

1/. Ten years ago, 276 Nigerian school girls were abducted by Boko Haram from their school in Chibok

A decade on, 82 of them are still in captivity

I had just started working for Amnesty International at the time & was reporting in the situation & the govt’s response

I defy anyone to read Jamie’s story and still persist with the belief that defunding NHS Practitioner Health is anything other than cruel, vindictive & horribly counter-productive.

Please read, Amanda Pritchard, Victoria Atkins, Jeremy Hunt.

Please don’t do this 🙏

In the Financial Times actor, Michael Douglas, says the following to Matthew Garrahan about Brexit.

He’s right. It’s crazy not to be questioning the ‘bill of goods’ people were mis sold.
