Just to clarify: the man who went to Whipps Cross hospital to make a political point and grandstand for cameras was not the father of a sick little girl being treated there.
It was the Prime Minister.

For a long time I've argued with people who accused the BBC of political bias. I've said time and again that they strive for neutrality and that the fact that I hear complaints from left & right demonstrates that.

I was wrong. Kuenssberg, Sands and Humphrys have proven me wrong.

BBC has a unique position

It is financed by a system where non-payment of a licence is a criminal offence

It has (had) a peerless reputation in the world

Its domestic news coverage needs to be better than amplification of Number 10 press office

There is something wrong here

'There are no press here' , 'I didn't say spaffing up the wall' '350m', 'Prorogation has nothing to do with Brexit', 'It's the chief whips decision to expel the 21' 'I'll lie in front of the bulldozers'...tell me that's not a pattern... https://t.co/YXBcOlGQjR

This perfectly illustrates how “civility” is used to silence women. Royston Jones is a dedicated and industrious poisoner of the Welsh political sphere. He distorts, he bullies, he attacks - but when the women that he torments dare to talk back, they are censured. Fuck this shit. https://t.co/bvvVQRS5T1

The beauty of the NHS is that it is blind to politics and status. It treats a child according to need, not whether its parent is a Tory prime minister or a labour activist. But it can only provide high-quality care for all if it is adequately funded, well run and safety staffed.

As promised - it's back. Reprint of David Nash: 200 Seasons at Capel Rhiw has arrived. Had a quick look and, yes, it's still a lovely book. https://t.co/BN0wnAEUig#Welshart #books #art #DavidNash #celf #Cymraeg pic.twitter.com/KP9NPmsnO7

Because there's a linear relationship between the amount of money you have and the environmental damage you inflict, in this week's column I propose something that might horrify you. Setting a limit on wealth. https://t.co/flpNNLG3ok

I fully endorse this article and argument by @GeorgeMonbiot. This is not ideological, it is not Marxist. It is simply that in a finite system, in a sustainable society and economy, you cannot have unlimited personal wealth. It should be bleeding obvious.https://t.co/UUaDskrJv6

If your child had nearly died in an underfunded, understaffed hospital & the Prime Minister had apparently been recorded lying to your face when you told him about it, how much weight would you expect/want the media to give to your political affiliations?

It wasn't Polish bus drivers who crashed the economy.

It wasn't Romanian nurses who decided to punish the poor for the mistakes of the rich.

It wasn't the French or the Germans who cut our public services.

Don't blame foreigners, blame those in power.https://t.co/egWNT16sul

Laura Kuenssberg is a leading political correspondent. Her job is to hold ministers to account when they, say, deliberately underfund our NHS.

Licence fee holders do NOT pay her £250k-a-year to dog-pile a parent of a sick child for holding a Tory to account.#SackLauraKuenssberg
