The most striking thing about Lewis' thread is that there aren't actually any examples given of the BBC itself "suppressing" anything: all the examples cited are of pieces reformatted or cancelled due to the actions of external invited guests/interviewees, not BBC staff.
Helen Lewis is questioning Lewis Goodall on Twitter.
Her grievance boils down to:
- She wasn’t “allowed” to debate trans rights on Newsnight
- The evidence for this is that Freddie McConnell and Paris Lees exercised their right to withdraw their participation

The fallout from this week’s revelations could be a rallying call for progressives in the media - and an opportunity for some to claim they were pressured into writing gender critical stories.

An utterly shocking, although sadly unsurprising account of bullying and harassment within BBC News.
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.
New piece from me.

There is absolutely no connection between mobile phone use and Brianna Ghey's death. None whatsoever. It's completely inappropriate that her memory is being co-opted for this campaign.
This campaign should stand on its own. Please, stop connecting it to a person murdered by transphobia.

On Brianna's 19th birthday, this morning I joined @cheshirepcc.bsky.social and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Phone Free Education campaign at the launch at Jodrell Bank of a new £150k initiative to make Cheshire the first county in the UK where ALL state high schools have lockable phone pouches.

Today is one of those days where, whether or not you have any opinion on what is going on in the news, isn’t the problem.
Days like today are awful because you know that the trans community who are going to end up picking up the tab. Things are only going to get worse.
I’m so fucking exhausted.
