what you have to understand is unlike predecessors who built careers on proper research and interviews and a lack of fear of asking straight questions she ( and Mason and Rigby and the others ) have built a careers on Tory contacts giving them "inside info" and soft balling Tory ministers they are now floundering in a new world of politics. I expect or two at least of the "bigger names" to leave for the world of podcasting

It’s subtle, but it’s there. Trying to infer that since Labour took control, everything is on a downward spiral when, by most metrics, we are not. So, out come the outliers.

Nothing but Tory shills who have lost their daily dose of ‘stories’ from their handlers.

I strongly suspect that see the writing on the wall for their time in charge at the BBC so have made it their mission to destroy and dumb down the BBC so the "Defund the BBC" can take up the baton.

Hard talk is probably the best news programme on there. Sackur doesn't hold back on anyone.

But Laura Kuenssberg lives!

For me, the biggest part of this is how Starmer can now tackle this head on, citing how the media, and their readers, have now decided that this is against public opinion and we now have to have a clampdown across the board.

Will be interesting to see how far he goes, but I’d suggest that the biggest losers will be those on the opposite side.

Poor sod. Must have a big mortgage or something, otherwise he would have found some self-respect, taken redundancy and gone to work for a serious programme outside of the beeb.

A corporate lack of self-awareness. "It's still bubbling" says an idiot with a kettle.

Radio 4 had a 5 minute item on what if the justice department had a £2m cut from its budget. "This is all speculation but we're doing it because we've no idea what's really going to be in the budget." Two more weeks of this...

Fucking hell, some may not like Wes Streeting, or Labour, but the way LK is interviewing him is like a lawyer treats a hostile witness.

Fucking hell, some may not like Wes Streeting, or Labour, but the way LK is interviewing him is like a lawyer treats a hostile witness.

I thought that - I don't like Streeting much, but I thought he did pretty well there.

That's 2-3 weeks in a row when LK has made a demand for an exact date when something will be done - a patently absurd question to pose.

She even pulled him up on ‘Labour being in the seat for barely 3 months’, stating ‘You’re now in your 4th month’. It was very childish, talking over him and not allowing a Secretary of State to answer the question as she wasn’t getting the response that she wanted.

People watch these things to see what the direction of travel is, and most accept that, from our current low on the NHS, it will take time to turn things around. Yet LK, and the BBC, just want a sound-bite rather than actual detail.

Yes, thought he did well, but the BBC need to step away from the previous Tory driven divisive politics. It’s pathetic and is one of the reasons why I rarely watch this shit.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Might as well continue the dumbing down of the BBC and rename it Tory Time with Laura K.
