Did Baroness Harding just say that if we're not allowed to keep everything we own then we won't have anything to share? #bbcaq

Can any producers at #newsnight tell me the last time that GB News invited a BBC journalist on to one of their programmes? Or is this more of a one-way type of arrangement?

Poor management by #newsnight producers, on an anniversary that required a certain gravitas, to schedule a presenter so wholly unable to provide it

How long exactly has Laila been Reform's candidate for London Mayor? It feels like somewhere between 7 and 10 years #newsnight

Absolutely hilarious. Even whilst BBC channels are furiously minimising the significance of the Verbatim/C4 reporting Reform actually suspend the individuals most closely involved #r4today

Appointing as Chair Osborne, a man who did so much willful damage to culture as Chancellor, showed that the British Museum was now an institution that valued money and courting the wealthy above everything else - so this seems a logical conclusion. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Hi #BBCNews when did ‘private citizen makes travel plans’ count as absolutely anything you consider noteworthy?

I still don't understand why the BBC chose to debase a respected news and current affairs commentary programme but tonight's #Newsnight has reached the fullest realisation of the project

You wait an age for the BBC to commission new programming on the visual arts and it turns out that it's just another show about money #TheBigDeal

Having watched the extended #newsnight interview with Hunter Biden the obvious, albeit slightly parochial, question is, what possible relevance did it have for the average licence fee payer?

Grimly hilarious to hear Clegg whinging about 'moral superiority on #newsnight. It's hardly difficult to feel morally superior to someone who enabled a cruel regime of austerity before fucking off to take millions from Meta

Obviously I'd much prefer BBC Four to return to original programme making but, as repeats go, this does feel very appropriate (sadly).

Interesting choice by #newsnight producers to allow Matt Chorley to park his clown car in the studio only days after his incompetence gave Farage yet another penalty kick against the BBC
