The Angela Rayner Fan Hitter shows the power the Daily Mail et al have to influence the BBC agenda and the police. We need the grown ups to realise when they are being manipulated.
@davidyelland You’d think the police had many many other more serious historic cases to worry about..
@davidyelland The grown ups do. Unfortunately they, like @MarkUrban01 @jonsopel @maitlis etc have been leaving the BBC
@davidyelland “Influence the BBC agenda?’ Whatever can you be inferring David?
@davidyelland " were there any parties in No10?" " er, no" . " Where were you living?" Are you sure?
@davidyelland BBC spent months on a cake agenda 😂

@davidyelland @SimonPease1 There is an organisation that links all three: the Tories, it’s a political attack orchestrated by the Tories. If just the Tories, then fair enough it is a normal part of the rough and tumble of politics but allowing the police to be influenced by the Mail & BBC is very wrong.
@davidyelland @RobertTNewton Many of us do and have stopped watching/listening to any mainstream political shows. The BBC and Sky are the worst offenders but they're not alone. We've been let down by our media for years.
@davidyelland This is what you get when you have people in charge motivated solely by greed and sloth. The two things they accuse everyone else - doctors, train drivers, teachers, civil servants et al - of being.
@davidyelland Spot on! Whilst, from a PR perspective, this could have been avoided or nullified by being more open.
@davidyelland @KJJStarr And @bbclaurak gave a very petulant and immature response to that when it was raised this morning
