They do themselves no favours, and I am an advocate of the licence fee (until a better funding model is proposed)

What aboutism is no defence.

The water is this full of 💩

Can we look into the CV of Baroness Alderley Edge. She appears to have gained a place in the Lords, that we pay for, despite only being an intern. If the BBC carried out a similar investigation to that of Reeves we might get some answers

🤔 Boris + Young Woman = Baroness 😉

The double standard and misogyny is infuriating

I'm old enough to remember cabinet ministers resigning because they had an affair. Which isn't illegal. Can somebody explain why it's ok for a chancellor to have commited fraud in a previous job. We should be raising the bar higher not dropping to the level of the tories

I think one of the right wing media's strategies is to generate apathy with a "they're all the same" narrative.

If this happened in 2008 how come no action was taken by HBoS?

Grant Shapp’s cv, Stella Braverman’s cv, Boris Johnson’s serial lying, wallpaper and holidays, Richie Sunak’s green card, Matt Hancock’s Covid pal, the VIP lane, cash for peerages, Nadhim Zahawi’s tax affairs, cash in suitcases for Prince (now King) Charles ….. should I go on?

And the key question Hardeep is this, which needs to be put to the BBC,

"On what basis of wrongdoing have you decided to make this two of the lead stories on your front page?"

remainvoter.bsky.social•92 days ago

Why weren't the BBC and others this keen to follow up stories about members and ministers of the previous governments? There were plenty of questionable things which should have been properly investigated, but for some reason they seemed to disappear quite rapidly from public view. 🤔😒

BBC news and political analysis are a pathetic joke. Unwatchable, unlistenable.

kennyholmes.bsky.social•90 days ago

Been that way for years. Spent half a decade smearing the only politician representing real change in this country on a daily basis.

Or Lebedev, Owen etc etc

It does appear that the BBC are attempting a character assassination of Rachel Reeves.
I wonder how many BBC’s reporters LinkedIn accounts accurately record their employment history after 20+ years.

poetsue.bsky.social•92 days ago

This is the BBC trying to find something to hang Rachel Reeves with rather than being in the public interest. All media and newspapers have done their best to try and destroy Rachel Reeves since she got in. Could it be anything to do with the fact she is a woman???????

nicolalcb.bsky.social•92 days ago

So mad about this - the BBC should hang their respective heads in shame!

niklg.bsky.social•92 days ago

Seems there is no year they won’t look back too to find something negative about any Labour politician, and yet they seem incapable of remembering that the Tories were ever in Govt. for 14 years. They have a selective blank in their collective minds…

hornist24.bsky.social•92 days ago

To cover up an upturn in the economy, ie good news for Labour, the BBC shows its true, increasingly far right colours. Robbie Gibb, sidekick Tim Davie, and the Etonian board are desperate to see Farage in No 10, now that their Tory mates have been shown to be totally inept and clueless. Pathetic.

crosstherubycon.bsky.social•92 days ago

It’s almost as if the BBC is operating under orders to get Reeves.
