The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

It’s called the Overton window which has currently been bricked up left, right and centre and now just brings borrowed light from Moscow to the Nazi memorabilia in the east wing extension of Nigel’s mansion.
Our entire political conversation - under a labour government - has taken a huge shift to the right.

Prescott's claims that the BBC has a pro-trans bias are even flimsier than you might imagine. He thinks all positive stories about trans people represent bias unless some ghoul from Sex Matters is invited to say that they are awful actually. Crackpot green-ink stuff
So the Telegraph’s “BBC bias dossier” - supposedly written by ex-BBC adviser Michael Prescott - is being used to claim there’s a rogue LGBT+ unit “censoring” gender-critical voices inside the BBC.
Let’s look at what’s actually in it. Spoiler: it’s nothing but recycled transphobic talking points!
🧵

For reference - Here’s the Telegraph article with the Prescott memo complaining about the BBC published in FULL.
Obviously, it’s an archived link which circumvents their paywall - as there’s no way I’m gonna give that transphobic rag any clicks or coin! 😣

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

Love this photo of two of our greatest PMs at the Cenotaph today.
Boris looks trim, fit and very much in good health.
Liz Truss looks as though she’s had a lot of pork recently and might be trickling down for the nation again.
God bless them both!

€88.80 to be precise, at that link. About £77.
For which you get a full month's unlimited travel within an area the equivalent of roughly Reading to Canterbury to Colchester.
Less than the cost of one anytime return to London from Portsmouth.
For shame.

In Paris, you can get a monthly public transport pass for the city and its surroundings (Île-de-France) for less than 100€/month, and your employer has to reimburse at least half of it.
