“Of all the hills to die on this is got to be the most ridiculous”

Writer, George Monbiot says the government have no intention of implementing the Rwanda Policy, but instead are using it as a distraction

Completely agree - & how those series have all stood up to the test of time

@misskaren1981 I feel blessed to have been of the generation to have sat and watched that as it transmitted and had to stifle my tears as a teenager until I got a quiet minute to myself. Powerful finale but what an amazing trilogy 2,3 and 4 were.

@BBCPolitics Wow - the definition of how to polish a turd.

Trainstopping

@BBCSport @BBCArchive Just brilliant observations by Ali and the genius of Parkinson to just let him speak

[James Else @jelse76]

Sat sipping rose on the Algarve - the commentary is so evocative it’s makes you want to be in Birmingham

Almost!

[BBC 5 Live Sport @5liveSport]

Scenes in the comms box 😍

Watch @isaguha and @ejrainfordbrent reaction to Broad's second wicket in two balls 🔥

A great morning for England, with Australia on 78-3 at lunch 👏

@shitscaredmum Was there last year with my dad - hold that hand, squeeze it, stroke it one more time those small almost undetectable touches resonant beyond anything after the inevitable happens

[James Else @jelse76]

@rexgoldsmith The best display yet

[James Else @jelse76]

Absolute sense being spoken here - if only there was a group of people who could legislate to readdress the balance!?

[Tom Kerridge @ChefTomKerridge]

Companies should of course make profit, but when energy companies are making billions more than even they expected, whilst small businesses are getting squeezed in a death grip by utility bills surely something is wrong…? 🤷‍♂️

The truth is a cruel mistress

[TheChelseaFishmonger @rexgoldsmith]

Good morning

[James Else @jelse76]

Jesus this is a good summary and take down of the absurdity of the position all got themselves in. Ironically it’s behind a Murdoch paywall!

What a tread - it deconstructs the nonsense of the argument with intelligence and facts

[James Else @jelse76]

‘risks’?!?!?!

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

NEW: Broadcast union @bectu which represents many BBC staff says: “This is a deeply concerning decision from the BBC…taken with the ongoing controversy over the appointment of the BBC chairman…it risks given the impression of double standards on these issues.”

[James Else @jelse76]

I won’t be holding my breath

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

Presumably BBC will be asked to explain which of its guidelines were broken and why other regular presenters, contributors, comedians, actors who tweet political views are not in breach. Hard to see Lineker coming back now.

[James Else @jelse76]

It’s a good job you’re so right wing

[Joe Lycett @joelycett]

I have informed the BBC that I am very much available for tomorrow’s #MOTD

[James Else @jelse76]

Completely agree

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Labour: “The BBC’s cowardly decision to take Gary Lineker off air is an assault on free speech in the face of political pressure. Tory politicians lobbying to get people sacked for disagreeing with Government policies should be laughed at, not pandered to. BBC should rethink.”

[James Else @jelse76]

@jessphillips doing a Jess Phillips - deconstructing the absurdity of this policy with inconvenient facts

[James Else @jelse76]

Insightful, clinical takedown of this morally deprived policy

[dave ❄️ 🥕 🧻 @mrdavemacleod]

this guy totally gets to the heart of the real Tory strategy on stop the boats 👏 #bbcqt

“They can’t run on their governing record, sewage in the rivers, living standards, they can’t run on personalities, so what do they have left? Division, us vs them”
