I think the people that suspected the bias would get worse - are probably right.

The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically motivated attack. With these resignations, it has given in | Jane Martinson
The corporation should have stood up to the Telegraph, Trump and the Tories. Now, its enemies know how little it takes for it to fold, says Jane Martinson, professor of financial journalism

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:
“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

He's right.
But also: this was exactly how some of us warned the Terrorism Act 2000 would be used when it was passed, by the government in which Peter Hain was a minister. He and all the others either ignored or dismissed our warnings. It's very frustrating.

The unprecedented vote to proscribe Palestine Action marks a dark day for our democracy — and demonstrates how far this authoritarian government is willing to go to suppress dissenting voices to their complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

A Labour government is driving disabled people into poverty.
This is a scandal, a stain the party will never be able to wash itself of.
Every Labour MP who votes for this disgraceful legislation must be voted out and replaced by someone who stands up for the struggling.

It's inappropriate for the BBC to call Ephraim Mirvis 'The UK's Chief Rabbi' when he is absolutely not: he only represents an Orthodox sect. This misrepresents a right-wing, pro-Israel political project as uniformly accepted by UK Jews, while it is opposed by a large portion of UK's Progressive Jews
Personally, I'd reserve overheated rhetoric like "national shame" for our (and the international community's) failure to take action to halt systematic war crimes and the deliberate murder of starving civilians, not what some rappers said at a music festival.

This principle should run through journalism like the words in a stick of rock. Yet somehow, day after day, it seems to evade the BBC's finest minds.

The full explanation offered for how these people went in maybe three weeks from shit-hot excellent politicians offering the brilliant policies the people yearn for - playing blinder after blinder - to comically shit no-hopers, appears to be “they have been inconsiderate to MPs”.

The government has announced a two-tier benefits system.
Under its plans, you can keep your benefits if you are disabled now, but not if you become disabled tomorrow. How is that fair?
A reminder: The Independent Alliance stands by its own amendment, and we will not back down.
