Unlike Clarkson, or Sugar, Andrew Neil actually fronted BBC politics programmes, at the same time was the publisher of a right-wing Conservative magazine and freely expressed his very right wing opinions on Twitter.

Jeremy Clarkson regularly wrote political columns backing the Conservatives and conservative views, was personal friends with David Cameron and called the then Labour Prime Minister a "one-eyed idiot" on air.

A reminder that when Gary Lineker was under fire a couple of years back for criticising the Conservatives while a BBC presenter, the channel said, by contrast, it was fine for Lord Sugar to repeatedly endorse the Tories because he was "free to say, as a business person, what he wants to say."

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Yes - hold the government to account and do it robustly. But partisan news coverage has leaked into mainstream from the GB news sewer.

@edconway.bsky.social quick question Ed. When would the Chancellor have found out that the OBR intended to do a productivity review? It strikes me that her level of culpability for the budget problems partly swings on this. Obviously she has a certain amount of bad luck in them doing it at all.
