What irritates me is when you quote Labour MPs without giving any indication as to how many. There are over 400 MPs and it is well known that 10% are constant critics of Government. You never indicate if this percentage is growing and it it always the usual suspects who appear to get air time
Not sure that those of you inside the Westminster media bubble realise how over the top your reportage has been perceived and how it has damaged the reputation of journalists. People may not be fond of politicians but they do not expect reporters to act as commentators on what is being reported.
Honestly Alastair, nobody becomes a journalist to be popular. Reporting on politics will always make some people cross: that’s not a reason not to do it, quite the opposite
I think there's a difference between not liking a report and not trusting the person who delivers it though. Without mentioning their names, I think two particular BBC figures have lost their integrity as journalists this week.
Can I point out I've never lost a phone charger?
Ahahahahaha
Can I point out that I have never lost a phone charger or a coms director.
In my view, you’ve steered a credible course through this storm but a couple of your colleagues, who operate in the visual media, have not.
Thanks Barry - I do think about this a lot
