#bbcbreakfast it is not a U turn, a repositioning! 6 months is a common probation period when assessment of the suitability of a new employee can be made. 2 years was just a ridiculous amount of time for an employer to sack people without redress

Reasons #IDcards are a non-idea.
*the only reason anyone can work illegally is if their employer is not following due process.
*eVisas brought in by the Tory's already act as ID cards, if you aren't a British citizen you need one and a share code to be able to work legally in the UK.

My partner just had a reply to a complaint about over platforming on BBC. They say they take account of poll numbers & MPs. Well where’s the middle ground here? Should the LibDems with 18x the no of MPs be getting at least equal coverage to Reform on 4 but leading the polls? I don’t see any parity!

I can't understand why Chis Mason has just said immigration is the number 1 issue in opinion polls on #BBC lunchtime news. Who is carrying out the polls, and who is being asked?
