Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Robbie Gibb once suggested that reporters should reflect if they were getting more retweets from one side than the other - a braindead analysis that ignores that fair and impartial reporting of education might get more Tory retweets than say, criminal justice.
Stephen really does have the best take on this. It’s not clear that the BBC Board or indeed the rest of the News team really understood the message of the previous reviews, which were about getting detail right. Instead they wanted to know what was ‘biased’ or not like they were blotting out stains.
The impossible dream some people on the British right are chasing is that you can have a BBC News operation that retreats from detail and expertise, that takes dictation from the government, but this will only create incompetence and failure when it suits you:

A reminder to the next DG of the BBC that Bargain Hunt has over twice as many viewers than the Daily Mail has readers. Don't fucking forget it. #BBC

Is it ok to celebrate the downfall of a truly terrible #BBC DG - if he resigned for the worst possible reason in the world? 🤔

there you go, that's what I was trying to word. Saved me the editing.
All kinds of reasons Davie should have resigned before, but one whiff of anti-right-wing scandal and off he pops.

If you’re thinking about #Christmas shopping then take a look at Gail’s website. Lots of gorgeous things and present ideas. I’m going to get my cards and wrapping paper again from her this year.
It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.

So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

So much for togetherness, for being a ‘family’ & being ‘luckiest man in the world’

A year ago today Rob Edwards’ Luton lost 5-1 at the Riverside. If only he’d remembered the position he was in before #Boro. If only he’d taken his own words on board

The romantic in me will always give Mogga a look.

Cancer free, "one last job" at his team etc.

But I've always been impressed with the work of Liam Rosenior. Would be happy with him. #Boro #UTB

This needs projecting onto the sides of The Riverside and Molyneux for the next fortnight - He's not Steve Bull or Billy Wright. #Boro #Wolves
And another thing: all this 'local hero' dream move to #Wolves bollocks... he played a hundred games over four seasons & later coached the U23s. It is not like he is a legendary Mogga figure. It is like #Boro fans being asked to embrace the emotional return of Robbie Stockdale as boss. #UTB

Given everything that's happened this week and this morning, that's undoubtedly #Boro's best and biggest win of the season so far.

Great result & great to be there.

You know I believe football is corrupt but ref performances like that underline that belief.

Missed the foul for Their goal, missed two good pen shouts for us & Beadle horse collaring Bill at the end.

All obvious - all missed. Incompetence doesn't cover it. #Boro

For someone who is Mr LinkedIn and Mr High Performance and Mr Ice Baths at 4am, there is something quite comic about Rob Edwards’ dream job being the manager of Wolverhampton fucking Wanderers. #Boro #UTB
