@EmPeeKay76 He’s only interested in lining his own pockets. He’s out to make as much money as possible! He doesn’t care about the rules, he doesn’t care about the working class or those less fortunate. It’s all about lining his pockets

@michaelsavage 4 of the worst broadcasters on TV anywhere! Turner is a rabid conspiracy theorist. Anyone who watches needs to give their head a wobble

[John Fitzpatrick @johnmfitzp]

@AmandaFBelfast Superb excellent analysis as always

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Outrageous. The ones who put American lives – and the lives of countless others – at risk were Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Don’t blame the UK for your catastrophic blunder.

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

Oh Nige…….

[Matthew Sweet @DrMatthewSweet]

Something dystopian about the US correspondent of a UK TV channel falling for a story as obviously fake as this. It wouldn't happen anywhere but @GBNEWS. @beverleyturner peddling falsehoods. Again. A glimpse, perhaps, of a post-public broadcasting landscape where lies flourish.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Let’s not forget why the BBC has to cut back excellent programming. 94% of UK adults use BBC services each month, including tv, radio, iPlayer, and Online.  And only 80% pay the licence fee. Is this a kind of shoplifting? Airlifting?

[David Banks @DBanksy]

They’ve penned the media in at the Scottish Parliament. This won’t end well.

As haters and critics circle, will anyone speak up for the BBC? Yes, a huge, loyal army of ordinary Britons | Lindsay Mackie https://t.co/4kVvUC3Aob

This is an absolute crime and must NOT become reality. BBC Local Radio commentary, home and away is incredibly important. Imagine BBC Norfolk having to take the BBC Suffolk comms on a derby at Portman Road? Cut management not the on-air output.

[Jason Bourne @JasonBourne1986]

Sad to hear suggestions coming out of BBC Local Radio this lunchtime that cuts could be made to live sport. Concerns internally of the idea to only broadcast from home games. Could mean, for example, BBC Derby taking BBC Solent commentary when Derby are away to Southampton.

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

To be clear @Moneybox on Saturday is not being cut. But its Wednesday sister programme Money Box Live is being axed. A very sad decision not just for the excellent presenter @FelicityHannah who has so made it her own and the great producers who have worked on it but for the growing audience it serves at such a low cost.

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

The public love the BBC and don’t object to the cheap licence fee. Who’d have thought it? https://t.co/X5oh7cxWET

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

I fully understand the BBC needs to live within its means but there are other way to save money. Staff salaries for example

Zoe Ball £515,000
Alan Shearer £440,000
Greg James £425,000
Fiona Bruce £414,999
Nick Robinson £414,999
Laura Kuenssberg £399,999

[Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick]

BBC News job cuts will delight people traffickers, fraudulent shop-keepers, grooming gangs, fraudsters, lazy civil servants and crooked politicians.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

This is so embarrassing

[Scott Bryan @scottygb]

What is overlooked in the BBC Radio 4 cuts is a simple fact:

94% of people use BBC content but only 80% of people are paying for it.

Until that funding gap is closed through Government Charter renewal, cuts like these are inevitable.

[Belfast Telegraph @BelTel]

Patrick Kielty linked to ‘Up for the Match’ as production company he set up lands lucrative RTÉ contract

@JuliaHB1 Wow that’s low even for a talentless grifting nonentity like you

[Mikey Smith @mikeysmith]

Incredible coincidence that @nigel_Farage watched the England game in the same spot in the same pub, with the same flags up, wearing the same top and standing next to someone wearing an identical top as he did during the Euros in 2024.

[The News Agents @TheNewsAgents]

"We already know what his job's going to be. He just needs to cut tape, doesn't he?" @lewis_goodall says.

Why is Prince George going to a £63,000 a year private school when his future seems set in stone already?
