According to Laura Kuenssberg, this week has been a 'shambles' because of a leadership challenge that never happened and an income tax rise that was never formally announced

Yet both were speculated on endlessly

Maybe the media is the real problem?

Chris Philp. Again!

This guy bankrupted several businesses, backed Liz Truss's mini-budget, reckons the Rwanda scheme worked and is a proven liar

Yet the tories still think people will take a word he says seriously

That's impressive levels of delusion

Laura Kuenssberg immediately goes into defensive, panic mode as soon as there is any mention of any current issues facing the UK having been caused by her tory chums in the previous govt

In case you were wondering how it's going, the media is spending the morning asking government ministers to speculate on the fact that their own previous speculation might have been wrong

Quality journalism

Quite a mealy-mouthed apology from The BBC, considering the damage they've done

There had never been so much as a hint of impropriety before this, and now Donald Trump's reputation as a man of decency, honesty and integrity lies in tatters

Shame on you

I noticed The Unutterable had just racked up its 25th anniversary last week

Mind you, there is probably nearly always a time that represents some kind of Fall anniversary or other

This is a cracker anyway

"I'm sorry Ed Miliband, we're just not interested in your positive, good news stories. We have a clear editorial directive at The BBC to talk the country down at every opportunity, so let's just move on to other subjects please."

Ed Davey points out that the last Govt are responsible for the decline of impartiality at The BBC, & correctly highlights the presence of Robbie Gibb as one of the ongoing sources of the problem

Also calls out Farage for his role in egging on Trump

Chris Mason rocks up for the shit-stirring, unfounded speculation and anonymous tittle tattle slot, to the surprise of absolutely nobody

Not the smartest week to do it

The BBC really has become its own worst enemy

Ed Davey is correct

Robbie Gibb should be nowhere near BBC News

His political connections with the tories should have prevented his appointment in the first place, and his involvement with the Jewish Chronicle's fake news scandal should have seen him gone

Been quite enjoying all these bastions of impartiality & integrity such as Laura Kuenssberg, Henry Zeffman, Chris Mason, Nick Robinson & co, discussing BBC editorial bias over the last 24 hours

If only we could figure out where the problem lies

All very well losing Director General Tim Davie, but the rot runs deep at BBC news, as has been witnessed by the ongoing departure of many of their most credible journalists

Getting rid of Robbie Gibb would be a good next step. Been nothing but trouble

For those who have been periodically following the frankly mental adventures of Hull man Karl Bushby, and his attempt to walk around the world

He's due to make it back to #Hull next year

A mere 28 years after setting off

Are the BBC still implying antisemitism over a ban on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans?

Despite intelligence from Dutch police, confirming they were violent & dangerous?

Despite Israeli police themselves cancelling one of their matches due to public safety?

Ok

I know it's not the highest of bars, but I would certainly have preferred to hear from Rishi Sunak at #PMQs, rather than the vacuous Helen Whately in the studio

Poor show, #PoliticsLive

I presume Robert Jenrick was absent from representing the tories at #PMQs, because everyone in the house would have torn him a new one, if he'd had the brass neck to commend the bravery of those rail employees, given his past comments about them

James Cartlidge, opens his account by asking David Lammy to apologise for something which he then points out he already did apologise for

Great start

Strength in depth not a feature of the tories then. Or any strength at all

Out of interest, has Nigel Farage now resurfaced because he thinks questions about Russian bribery, tax, houses in Clacton & the like, have all now gone away?

Because I'm pretty sure they haven't

@thenerve.news seem to be well on the case with future revelations

Reform's economic vision? Lol

Your regular reminder that Reform is made up almost entirely of former tories, and as such, unless you are part of the wealthy elite, Nigel Farage, Zia Yusuf, Richard Tice and co are not, and never will be, on your side

#PoliticsLive

Today is probably not the day for folk who specialise in creating division and hatred, and spreading misinformation and fear

But that's not stopped Laura Kuenssberg from having the unelected beaurocrat Zia Yusuf on her show. Again
