Outgoing BBC Head of News Deborah Turness has insisted that BBC News “is not institutionally biased” and that their “hard-working” journalists are not “corrupt“. On why the mistakes weren’t dealt with on Trump, anti-semitism and women’s rights, she said: “I’m sure that story will emerge.” Still awaiting the BBC’s apology…
Justice minister Alex Davies-Jones told the Today Programme it wasn’t ‘appropriate’ to ask whether or not David Lammy was shopping prior to DPMQs instead of trying to sort out the released prisoner:
“He was preparing for Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions. He was preparing to stand in for the Prime Minister, the first ever black person to do so… He cracked a joke because his poppy had fallen off this suit, which he also addressed during the Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions… I don’t think it’s appropriate to get into the weeds of if he was shopping or not in the morning.”
