@lountons It’s not a fact at all. Her letter was in the context of a whole host of lies she’d been told - and lies told to her brother who had, as a result introduced Bashir to Diana. — PolitiTweet.org

What happened to the crucial BBC document revealing that Martin Bashir had lied to secure his Diana interview? It’s gone missing. Did Tony Hall destroy it? @CommonsDCMS https://t.co/cr4NWypnHN — PolitiTweet.org

Much appreciated Decky. @CommonsDCMS — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

When suspicions were raised about Martin Bashir’s methods, why didn’t his boss Tony Hall pick up the phone and call Earl Spencer himself and talk? It’s basic journalism. Check facts. Follow the story. @CommonsDCMS https://t.co/VqM7jJldP5 — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

Former BBC boss Tony Hall claims he didn’t monitor the rehiring of Martin Bashir as Religion Correspondent - despite knowing he was a serial liar. Seems implausible to me. His rehiring was the talk of the newsroom. @CommonsDCMS https://t.co/HoBemfJjCB — PolitiTweet.org

@roryms @CommonsDCMS Thanks. I’m not. Apparently, after four years, it was decided that I was too left wing and anti Brexit for the channel. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you. Select Committees are a good opportunity to pin down the powerful (or formerly powerful) and hold them to account. It can be revealing, as we witnessed today. — PolitiTweet.org

@lountons It’s about journalistic ethics and a long cover up. And we don’t know whether she’d have done the interview had it not been for the forged documents produced to induce her to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Mr Nicolson said the Dyson report cost £1.4 million as a result of Lord Hall's 'negligence' and asked if he thought a 'forfeit of some of your lavish BBC pension would be appropriate?' https://t.co/Ln0o9ToN09 — PolitiTweet.org

The issue of the amount of work carried out by Bashir following his re-hiring was also put to Mr Davie, with Nicolson asking the BBC boss if he was aware the journalist spent "more prime time on Celebrity X Factor than on television reporting religion". https://t.co/NXRq0r0TO9 — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

John Nicolson, SNP MP and former BBC News presenter, said BBC journalists were stunned by Bashir’s return. He called on Lord Hall to hand back his gold-plated BBC pension after presiding over a botched investigation. https://t.co/X8GT9mdZqo — PolitiTweet.org
