So it's beginning to look like the "No. 10 briefings" against Streeting and Milliband were originated by Chris Mason and other disingenuous so-called journalists.
The BBC is meant to report the news, not originate it.
Mason should go (to BeeBeebies).

"The man who sparked chaos at the BBC by criticising Panorama’s ‘misleading’ edit of a Donald Trump speech also doctored Trump’s quotes himself in his controversial report, making them seem far more benign than they actually were."

Too many Rejoiners try to skirt around Freedom of Movement. Seeing it as a weak point in the argument for rejoining. This has failed. We need to make FoM our number one demand and take it head on.

A simple rule of thumb: Any politician who proclaims to be pro-EU while avoiding supporting re-entry to the Single Market is afraid of mentioning Freedom of Movement. Many have been playing that game for 10 years, and pro-EU voters are wise to it. Anything without Freedom of Movement is still Brexit
