Memo to BBC board: do not fold like ABC and CBS and Wall Street law firms when faced with Trump bully boy shakedown tactics. He does not to have a case, even in Florida. The Panorama splicing was a dumb mistake and the exec(s) responsible should have long ago been fired. There are serious issues in the BBC newsroom for the next DG to deal with but Tim Davie and the BBC board could make standing up to Trump and his $1bn lawsuit their finest hour

The Minister for Veterans this morning repeatedly refused to rule out former members of the IRA sitting on Labour’s proposed Legacy Commission

Should have been a fairly straightforward question to answer

(Excellent questioning from ⁦@KateEMcCann⁩)

The ‘full confidence’ of Keir Starmer proves to be the kiss of death once again. It’s uncanny.

One minute you’re with Prime Ministers and the Royal Family; the next you’re on your own. It really doesn’t matter how you do Remembrance. Just take a minute to remember all they sacrificed for what you enjoy today.

#neverforget

In June, a BBC teleprompter instructed presenter, Martine Croxall, to say ‘pregnant people’.

She, bravely, corrected this term by saying ‘women’.

Now she has been disciplined and suspended she should have been PROMOTED and Congratulated.

Shame on the BBC!

[Darren Grimes @darrengrimes]

It’s a sign of how far we have fallen that this is viewed as controversial. The BBC ought not even give this the time of day.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent World War One was over.
This Sunday is Remembrance Sunday.

Remembrance does not glorify war and its symbol, the red poppy, is a sign of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

remember when Martine changed the script from “pregnant people” to women?

Well, the BBC has UPHELD 20 complaints against her, for altering the script!

She was meant to read a LIE!

Alan Bates to get multi-million-pound payout over Post Office scandal.

Great news. All victims deserve a just settlement.

No contribution made by the Post Office, its execs; Fujitsu, lawyers, accountants.

No one prosecuted for hounding innocent people.

The UK government wants #pension funds to pour billions into housing — while also giving tenants new powers to challenge rents. Hard to see how that adds up to an “attractive investment environment.”

[Bruce Dalton @SHB1893]

@JosephineCumbo If ever there was a case for NEVER letting Labour (or any govt) determine where & how your money should be invested, THIS IS IT - CRAZY
