So … if Wes Streeting had said that there definitely was a leadership challenge set to go, it would have meant that there definitely wasn’t?
Is that how it works?

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

I wasn’t very keen on PHSE or pastoral care when I taught teenagers. The only social lesson I felt I’d taught well was how being polite and friendly could - and usually would - help you get away with anything, whereas being a sulky git was a hiding to nowhere.

The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*.

The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.
Tory culture spox demanding the BBC "grovel" to Trump is baffling. Who is this supposed to chime with?

Just a bizarre line that no one who doesn't use X would ever think.

Perhaps the BBC could offer Trump one of his beloved deals: they'll apologise for broadcasting sections of his speech, if he apologises for trying to overthrow an election, lying about the result, pressuring election officials, urging a crowd to "fight like hell" & pardoning those who did just that.

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

What about hanging, drawing and quartering? Public executions? Displaying the severed heads of the executed on spikes at the city walls? You forgot to ask about these vital issues.

The government must surely be tempted to simply hand over to everyone who knows so much better than they do how to fix everything.

For as many years as anyone been counting two or more inmates been mistakenly released from British prisons most weeks. Record does not make it acceptable. System needs to be fixed. It does leave me asking why BBC now gripped by end-of-civilisation hysteria heard on Radio 4 Today programme.

It's all leading to this isn't?

And all of this crap on the end of programmes from the BBC about being grateful that they're publicly funded is meant to paint over their drift to political right.
