What to make of Sebastian Gauka on Politics Live? His certainly, his fluency and the content scare me!

BBC still highlighting Reform Uk. Youseff on Politics Live and #wato. Sneering and supercilious.

Nearly two years ago, I wrote about the extraordinary influence of former Tory spin doctor Sir Robbie Gibb on the BBC. It's still a helpful backgrounder for what's going on now. New readers start here: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
How the government captured the BBC
A right-wing cabal, largely unaccountable, is waging war on the principles that made our public broadcaster great. It must not succeed

It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

Obviously Laura Trott hasn’t read the Curriculum Report by @beckyfrancis.bsky.social. I doubt she can be bothered because she opposes for the sake of opposing.

‘A’ level standard of English for immigrants to get jobs here?! A lot of people with English as a 1st language don’t know the difference between they’re, their and there. And you’re and your defeat too many. What’s an ‘A’ level standard anyway? Written or spoken English? Discriminatory?

Thrilled about ensuring schools have libraries. But it is not a one-off expense. Books have to be bought regularly by people (librarians?) who know and love children’s literature-fiction and non-fiction. And it’s predictable where a Tory/Reform axe would fall.

I'm not sure whether the Telegraph & the Tories are actually interested in Angela Rayner's residences or just obsessed with her. Meanwhile Nigel Farage has five houses..

Tories call for investigation into Rayner's tax affairs. They really hate her don’t they? They’re just nosy. And envious.

Unfortunately listening to a nasty Reform man. Zia Yousef. Stirring sh*t. How long before the dodgy data and sliding into ‘the British people’ defence is rebutted? Anna Foster trying so hard to pin him down. He sounds as if he’s in the pub.
