Evidently, Britain’s journalistic hacks see no need to scrutinise ‘Dirty Farage' his insistence that he is not a racist, his associations with Nathan Gill, or the murky circumstances surrounding the purchase of his Frinton property.

Indeed. This is not the BBC's job and to make it worse, in the same piece, Chris Mason again lurches into opinion and gives government carte blanche when he absolutely should not have!
No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for!

Yes, I heard this this morning and thought WTF. He seemed to have made a real effort to find something he could claim was misleading. If they'd done that between 2019 and 2014 they would have broadcast nothing else.

100% I've also noticed he does self insert himself a lot more then his predecessor.
Similar tone to his reform conference piece where he spent the first few paragraphs saying how awed he was by it.

Fucking hell! “Misled”! Has anyone seen what the Tories and Farage promised with #Brexit that currently costs £1.7billion a week! I’m not defending anyone here but the elephant in the room is still Brexit. That’s causing the biggest hole of all in the economy.

#R4Today piece about chancellor not being honest in recent statements. It’s a shame Farage, Johnson, Gove, Cameron, every single member of the ERG, et al weren’t held to the same standards over promised #Brexit benefits.

I heard him on R4 this morning airing his views and did wonder why he was always so reluctant to do so when Boris Johnson was in power.

I seem to recall that in those days the line was “it’s not on us to tell you if a politician is lying.”

Not that Reeves is lying.

Labour should absolutely be gunning for Mason. He's just admitted bias in his reporting.

Chris Mason is not a columnist. He's there to report. There are conflicting views on what Reeves said and meant and I actually think it's pretty outrageous what he's saying here. That's not his job at all.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.

The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.
