Lammy has previous for being ‘deeply concerned’ but it didn’t stop his government providing arms & significant assistance to the aggressor, so I’m not sure his concern is a reliable barometer on his position.

There is also the choice of words that diminish Israeli actions. The difficulty for UK MSM is that comparisons can be drawn with reporting from Ukraine that has often been unequivocal.
And that still leaves the main thrust of @owenjones.bsky.social piece, editorial control & staff disaffection.

I agree strong views are good, but I had to take a subscription out for an Israeli newspaper to get objective coverage. That can’t be right. We shouldn’t have the BBC almost hiding significant stories on their websites. Sky have done the same.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on this, John. How damaged is the BBC by it’s coverage & framing of the genocide in Gaza?

I’ve logged out of there & have absolutely no intention of going back to it - even for a sneaky peak.
It’s a wee bit of a gamble coming here but it’s worth it so far 👍

“….is being investigated over funding to a parliamentary group that received £55,000 from lobbyists linked to the Christian right.”
Is there a bias if it is factual?
If it isn’t factual, I’m sure you can show how it isn’t 👍

It’s been the way all along with UK media.
I took a subscription out for Ha’aretz. Worth every penny because papers here don’t cover the real stories, just those they allowed to.

That would be a very different interview if Johnson was still flavour of the month & she had a seat in the “other place.” Everything would have been just peachy.
