Will post the Ofcom boss’s answers later. But it seems pretty clear GBNews have breached the rules. I’m looking forward to seeing what @Ofcom will now do. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m at the Commons Culture & Media Committee @CommonsDCMS getting ready to question @Ofcom boss Melanie Dawes about MPs working as interviewers. Rules versus GBNews reality. Why are we being subjected to an onslaught of right wing propaganda on air? https://t.co/5eAIBEd1DX — PolitiTweet.org

@DocHardie That is not, of course, what this policy is about. And if you want to reduce the number of asylum seekers crossing, we’d offer more safe routes to reunite families and offer sanctuary. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm often asked why I support independence. Making our own decisions on human rights is near the top of my list. Scotland should not be weighed down by Westminster's shame. This awful #AntiRefugeeBill should not be in our name. #RefugeesWelcome — PolitiTweet.org

Remarkable after 16 years in government. @YouGov poll also shows majority support for independence in every age group under 50. — PolitiTweet.org

Deepest apologies to @adamfleming but this picture was embedded by the BBC. Not my choice. Intelligent questioning is by the BBC’s Chief Political Correspondent. By contrast Tory answers came from MP Sir John Hayes. Worth a listen. — PolitiTweet.org

“While we know the words were not Fiona’s own and were words she was legally obliged to read out, this does not lessen their impact and we cannot lose sight of that.” @RefugeCharity statement.

There’s been an underlying snobbishness about #GaryLineker from many on the right. On @BBCRadio4 at the weekend I debated a Tory MP who thought Gary may not understand 1930s history and “should stick to football”. Pompous twaddle. https://t.co/wancb6I9fQ — PolitiTweet.org

BBC Chair Richard Sharp must now go. And it’s vital we clean up the UK system of public appointments which is tainted by sleaze. Keir Starmer must now promise that no Labour Party donor will be rewarded with a big public service job if he becomes Prime Minister. — PolitiTweet.org

On Saturday BBC bosses were saying #GaryLineker must apologise to get back on air. Today it’s Tim Davie apologising to Gary Lineker - reinstated without compromising. Instead a review of social media policy. “The BBC and myself are aware that Gary is in favour of such a review.” — PolitiTweet.org

@RosemaryC_Banks That wasn’t my experience of him. And, of course, he so terrified Boris Johnson that Johnson chickened out of an interview with him at the last election. — PolitiTweet.org

I asked BBC Chair Richard Sharp about this & in a farcical reply which made even the Director General snigger, he said Gibb hadn’t actually ‘liked’ the anti-SNP tweet. Apparently his finger had travelled down the screen on his electronic device & “touched the heart by mistake.” — PolitiTweet.org

Andrew Neil makes his right wing politics clear off air but was scrupulously impartial on air @markdamazer tells @bbcpaddy Agreed. But no-one suggests @GaryLineker is party political while broadcasting. Off air activity is the issue. And BBC bosses are flagrantly inconsistent. — PolitiTweet.org
