An update from me & @siennamarla:. As well as Politics Live, Newsnight also will not be broadcasting directly from the party conferences this year. Of the BBC's flagship political programmes, only Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg will do so.
w/@siennamarla:. The BBC doesn't plan to send Politics Live to party conferences this year, disappointing staff and prompting former culture secretary @JWhittingdale to urge the corporation to think again. "The decision. is a further erosion of their political coverage".

.@zoenora6 reports worry in government that resident (junior) doctor strikes, due to start Friday, could spread to other parts of the NHS workforce as the BMA, RCN & Unite prepare to ballot members . Whitehall sources hope these groups will be more “circumspect” and “reasonable”.
The government is reluctant to get its hopes up that it can avoid further strike action from senior doctors and nurses. But Whitehall sources tell @politicshome they expect other groups of NHS workers to be more “reasonable” than the BMA resident doctors.
