Chris Mason lied about being a journalist. He studied Geography at Uni. He would have been a weather reporter but he couldn't be arsed to do the hard work. Why dont the BBC ever ask how Kami Kwasi was qualified for Chancellor, or Sunak for that matter? - ThreadSky

I had to turn the BBC news off it was irritating me that much 🤬

Or if Liz Truss ever qualified as a human being ?

IDS lied about going to Uni. Johnson was sacked twice for lying. Grant Shapps made his fortune running get-rich-quick schemes of dubious legality in the US...

Crickets.

A female labour chancellor possibly rounded up her work experience on her CV...

Cue days of pearl-clutching by the media.

It's amazing how these people suddenly become crack investigative reporters when the target is

a) Labour
b) A woman

(see also the confected nonsense about Angela Rayner's CGT affairs last year)

Or Hunt (or was it Shapps I always get those 2 mixed up).

Schapps has so many names Hunt or something rhyming with it is probably one of them

BBC teletext today - number one story, Reeves exaggerated her time at the Bank Holiday.

Possibly the biggest "so bloody what?" I've seen for a very long time!

This evening, she was reckless with her expenses.
I bet she wasn't, I bet she was 100 times more honest than any Tory minister.

... at the Bank Holiday ?! 🙄🫣
I really must take more water with it!

The tories flooded the BBC with stooges for the last 14 years. There isn't any impartiality in their journalists (with the one expection of Victoria Derbyshire).

Exactly. Why the sudden interest in NHS Hospitals. This is not a new story. It began when the Tories were in charge. Nor did they show the same interest in Braverman making a "dishonest statement out of self-interest to promote her career" as they are about Rachel Reeves.
