@MattChorley @DollarBilly777 @jimrobbins @patrickkmaguire @PronouncedAlva Chicken & egg that, Matt. BBC sadly part of this onslaught.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@rogermosey It is. Seems to me the media, social and traditional, has a lot to do with this.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@MatthewStadlen @MFIJake Is this the latest press / BBC narrative?

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@ThreshedThought This all seems a long way from the concerns of the public perhaps? Difficult issues for sure, but not sure that keeping everything co terminus really matters. That just suits the status quo when things need to change.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@maitlis @BBCRadio4 I’m ok with having one less outlet where I might be exposed to Chris Mason et al. A few years ago I would have supported the Beeb to the hilt. Not now.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@mrneilmorrow BBC News hasn’t earned the trust it should in the last ten years or so.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@ritula Perhaps too the Beeb should understand the challenges the audience faces when listening to / watching its news. Where opinion and set narrative is constantly presented as fact. All very sad but BBC has largely brought this on itself.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@Yorkshirefoxy1 @rogermosey It’s hard to support BBC News, particularly on national politics, isn’t it, even though you once did and would like to. It’s lost its way and just digs deeper.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@TomTugendhat @Muzzdobetter @KateEMcCann @DavidLammy Best to have left it at that.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@williamnhutton Mason is part of the reason for any ‘tottering’, and chooses to be.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@TimesRadio @KateEMcCann Slightly naughty questioning there, putting words in the Commissioner’s mouth. He did well to resist. Also impugning the motives of the Deputy Mayor, not there to answer.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@rogermosey @FraserNelson Yes. In fairness, quite a few politicians make substantiated claims. Where broadcasters have often failed miserably is pointing out which ones do and which do not.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@BBCNews This is interesting @rogermosey , is it not? I am not interested in the ‘Champions’ Lg final, and usually don’t know who wins the Premier League. But, though I have no skin in this particular issue, I do think integrity matters. This is good public service broadcasting, imho.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@bbcnickrobinson @Ofcom @katierazz @BBCr4today @GBNEWS You and many of your colleagues kind of are politicians. Certainly not some neutral or impartial force. Also more interested in tittle tattle and setting the agenda than policy.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@davidoncricket Enjoyable match.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@davidoncricket Didn’t they do well!

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@Suzysue8 Yes, and it wasn’t in the match.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@rogermosey I don’t think the Champions League final matters much Roger. It’s not even a tournament of actual champions, as far as I know, and it’s about money - a long way from football’s roots!

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@itvnews I don’t think all that many people are bothered about the ‘Champions League.’ Certainly not me, whoever is in it.

[Robin Hammerton @RobinHammerton]

@Keir_Starmer @HelenBa16838378 The Champions League doesn’t matter to most people frankly.
