I've had a lot of respect and liking for Emily Thornbury for years, regardless of differing affiliations and policy preferences. But for answering a question about the PIP bill saying "it's a big document, its all financial detail rather than organisational, I haven't read it properly yet and when I comment it will be an informed comment" (approx words, not a transcript) she gets a gold star from me.

Politician in "Saying they don't have an informed opinion answer yet" shock! She's exactly the kind of politician we need RN. Tho' I'm almost glad Starmer didn't give her a ministerial job, as it opens up what she can say a bit more. (To be clear, when she DOES have an informed answer, IMO it's rational, based on facts and solid principles, and often particularly insightful and cogent. Even if she DOES come to the wrong conclusion, I respect how she got there.)

#BBCNewsnight is going on endlessly about winter fuel payments, about which nothing is known yet. Compare #Channel4News excellent fact checking of Trump's shocking ambush of Ramaphosa.

Sigh #BBCNewsnight going on endlessly about trivia. And normalising the far right (GBNews) is not a great idea. It isn't long since #Newsnight used to do good investigations. Now it's just yet more talking heads. Very sad.

I've been watching #BBCNewsnight for many years. In the past, it's done some excellent investigations. But the Tory placemen forced on the BBC have turned into yet another cheap panel show.

#Musk is now posting a hashtag "TwoTier Keir"

This is a direct reference to a claim that the police have a two-tier system to arrest individuals: one for the blacks, one for the whites.

Such a claim was made on last night's #BBCNewsnight by Andrea Jenkyns

So, I ask you once more, close your shitter account.

Aj is talking about two tier policing in the police like #Frogface did earlier today

She said on #BBCNewsnight today that, " police stood around whilst our beautiful Queen Victoria statue was damaged."

Statues are objects of adoration and veneration. Edward Colston made his fortune in the slave trade and Queen Vic gave him the licence to do so.

They were both part of the system of mass murder, torture and human suffering.

#BlackMastodon

Andrea Jenkyns is told on #BBCNewsnight that, "People are saying that a direct line can be traced from your government's position to the rioting we are witnessing over this last week. Where asylum seekers were dehumanised."

AJ replies people were rioting in 2001

She is corrected with "2011, surely"

But AJ will have none of it as she believes she is right ABOUT ALL THINGS and says 2001 and 2011

The dumbing down of Newsnight accelerates, Tom Harwood for Christ sake a boy so empty headed he probably still needs dressing in the morning.

A shyster pollster almost weeping at how malicious' politicians in America are to each other.

The pitiful theme of how badly Trump has been treated, Victoria Derbyshire signalling with her eyes that she was being held captive in the studio.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR FAIZA SHAHEEN TO APOLOGISE.

#BBCNewsnight

Jon Stewart's Jewish, I'm Jewish, many other Jews watched that clip back in the day and recently in the last day or so. This Jon Stewart clip addresses the #ApartheidIsraeliLobby

The #weaponisationofantisemitism, weaponising our historical pain ...even to the extent of targeting progressive Jews, for the benefit of #Zionist #farright political gain and to repress any criticism of #ApartheidIsrael is in and of itself antisemitic because it says our pain is not important, it's only useful as a tool against progressive/antigenocide politicians, artsts, academics, etc.

Enough is enough!

Why are rural commnities turning to #France's #farright?

#extremedroite #rightwing #JordanBardella 🤮 🤮 🤮

A few minutes of #bbcNewsnight and I feel like I’m on the edge of an anxiety attack. Heart rate went way up. That’s a deliberate stylistic choice. Reminded I just can’t watch political coverage on tv anymore. NN in particular was problematic before but now it’s toxic trash.

The British rightwing establishment are screaming at the top of their lungs at the risk of them losing control of the propaganda tools The Telegraph and The Spectator. Heaven forbid either of those titles are published by disinterested foreigners beyond their influence. #BBCNewsnight #telegraph

I'm sorry Andrew Neill. Saying you covered Trump. I just think you're one of the few people physically large enough to do that. #bbcnewsnight
