What should @JohnSimpsonNews and @bbcnickrobinson actually *do* then? How best to defend the @BBC? Just denounce the political campaign? Or show that senior people take the editorial malpractice *very* seriously, speak up about it, condemn it, loudly and in detail.
Nick Robinson is exactly right: ‘…there is genuine concern about editorial standards+mistakes. There is also a political campaign by people who want to destroy the organisation that you are currently listening to. Both things are happening at the same time.’

My wife and I are grateful to Health Secretary Wes Streeting for reaching out after we shared our story of baby loss. It should be recognised that he was sat in the chamber until midnight for that debate, listening to every story. I have enormous respect for him for that.

Shocking cowardice in the face of blatant prejudice. The Conservative Party seems determined to swim in the sewer with Reform UK.
Chris Philp had 6 opportunities to condemn Reform MP Sarah Pochin’s racist comments. He refused. This is what the Tory Party has become. Too weak to stand up to Reform. Labour is clear - there is no place for this politics in the Britain we are building.

There is a moment at this time of year when the word ‘apricity’ really comes into view. For those who don’t know it, it was recorded only once, in 1623, before slipping out of view. Apricity is the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.
