Watching #BBCNews coverage of the Budget and wondering who this is actually aimed at? It just seems like pointless political masturbation. It will get rendered down into some simplified slop for the 18.00/22.00 news bulletins. No wonder we are where we are.

I would argue that the real current scandal for which the BBC should be held to account is its role in over-promoting a ragbag of right wing MPs who are front of the queue for its destruction

The malign right can't be allowed to destroy the BBC
Panorama made mistakes but this ‘scandal’ is the work of populists trying to control the airwaves. They won’t rest
