Hey. Please judge us in six months. The audience is there - and is supportive. We are improving every day. It’s a start-up. Thank you for your patience. If you don’t want to watch.. don’t. Sticks and stones.

No MP should be allowed to switch parties like that. It is for the electors to decide whether or not they remain an MP. He should have stood down.

As a former Royal Correspondent I take big issue with Harry’s claim that we were an extension of the Palace press operation. Neither we - nor they - thought we were. Quite the opposite. That’s why the job of Royal Correspondent was always regarded as one of the toughest ‘beats’.

‘In a rare and remarkable intervention, Royal sources described how King Charles and Queen Camilla are 'not worried but wearied' by the Sussexes' stream of criticism. An exasperated Palace source emphasised the word 'wearied'…. I think this goes for all of us.

Dear Omid, if I may. Your hypocrisy is astounding. You are no better than those of us who tried - honestly - to report on the Royal Family for years. But you apparently know better. Stop trashing those of us who have been in this profession for a while. We see you.

Wonder what new editorial courses journalists at the BBC will have to do now. Not one of the ones I worked will need to do them. They know forging documents is wrong. The jobbing reporters and producers are the best you will find. They are not the problem.
