The "appropriate response" is to broadcast everything that Trump did and said on that appalling day for American democracy and then to tell this moron to sling his hook.
I might be wrong, but this stinks of Pharage involvement.

Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause.

The utter preposterousness of this interview. A media figure talking about BBC bias while describing the president as his "friend". A child could see trough it.
It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

As Ed Davey says, it's worth remembering this: 'Johnson’s pick for BBC chair, Richard Sharp resigned two years ago over his links to a secret loan of up to £800,000 to… Boris Johnson.'

If that case is winnable, and there is good reason to believe it is, the BBC should fight it.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child & even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, warning and no evidence base
🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government

Second there are years of media commentary about Trump encouraging an attack before the broadcast. So how would a Panorama programme, in Florida, have influenced an average member of the public?

I'm not about to go up against Joshua Rozenberg on legal analysis, but his assessment on Radio 4 right now seems a bit odd. First, BBC player *isn't* available in Florida, is it? That's why you need a vpn to watch the Beeb there.

After a decade at the BBC, Robbie Gibb joined the Tories in opposition, working for Francis Maude until 2001, when they backed the unsuccessful Portillo leadership effort.
In 2002 he rejoined the BBC, working on Newsnight, Daily Politics with Andrew Neil, Marr.
