"The hard truth about underfunding palliative care is that people who are at their most vulnerable – the dying – suffer more pain, more indignity, less choice & less autonomy than they might have." Incredibly, only 30% of hospice care is NHS funded - a national travesty.

Is this satire? A discussion about a hyphen. 🤦 He should be Andrew Windsor, nevermind the pomposity of Mountbatten. #wato

The Newsmax guy is on regularly and he talks in a very measured reasonable tone. But most of what he says is pure lies, coming from an alternate reality where, of course, Trump is the victim. #r4today

Now all we're going to talk about is the sodding Trump bullshit. Instead of the BBC issues. #r4today

Sources say Robbie Gibb amplified criticisms of Trump, Gaza and trans rights coverage, and had ‘a lot of oxygen in the room’

It's as bad as we thought. It absolutely was a coup, using the utterly biased personal ramblings of an right wing internal 'assessor.' That Robbie Gibb is neck deep in it. And that Furness was going to front up for the Trump edit mistake, but Shah stopped her. #r4today #wato
"Working at the BBC, I felt that there was a strong awareness to be checking potential liberal left biases – and few coming from the other direction," says @lewis_goodall. Memo leaks claim the BBC has been captured by left wing politics. What's going on? https://t.co/gOKSrhN1I1

'They created an AI actress...then signed her to their own talent agency. #TillyNorwood is 99% press release. And everyone swallowed it.' Even you guys, unfortunately. 😬 Though I loved Mike's super sarky Editorial. @SightSoundmag

Prescott rather gave the game away by professing himself “shocked & alarmed” that the BBC didn’t match this Panorama with an equally “aggressive” film about Kamala Harris. That’s his idea of editorial “balance”. Maybe he should stick to corporate PR #bbcpm

The BBC only has itself to blame for its handling of a serious error in a documentary on Trump. But its demise—as the US media landscape shows—would leave us all far worse off

It's funny that Prescott is concerned about the BBC on three of the biggest obsessions of the Right. Trump, Israel and trans.. #wato
