I'm sure at some point the nature of her relationship with Johnson will come out into the open. At the moment it just looks like he's using her Twitter account.

The Sensible journos see any attack on the Beeb as swivel eyed but. I don't fucking understand how any fucker can defend Kuenssberg after this past month. I get the BBC might be trying to defend the license fee, but the hard right will kill it no matter how pliant they are.Comment

who is teaching Boris Johnson about technology BBC Political Editor
He did it. They did it.
Boris Johnson and his team, who beat the odds in 2016, have overturned the conventional wisdom again.
The EU said they would not budge; their former Tory colleagues and the opposition colleagues said it was all a sham.
But after a breakneck set of negotiations, a deal's been struck and the rest of the continent gave way on the controversial backstop, the feature of the former agreement that did for Theresa May.Comment

The backstop is back where it was three years ago, before fucking Tories came up with the All UK backstop. Vile fucking posh weegie stenographer.Comment

Today highlighted the limits of BBC radio news coverage. First time parliament has sat on a Saturday in 37 years and I was actually interested in keeping up with it as I went about the usual Saturday routine. 5 Live carried the rugby, no complaints. Radio 4 had usual news bulletins and regular programming. They could have used Sports Extra (which was running promotional barkers for itself) or 4 Extra (which is repeated spoken word material) but used neither. So they had four speech based networks to work with and still couldn't carry the debate.
Not directly connected but lately I've been listening to the World Service more in the car, to get actual news rather than "let's hear what the people of Mansfield have to say" or cutting off parliamentary coverage for all the build up to that night's Carabao Cup action.Comment

BBC World Service stayed with the debate* and vote instead of the first hour of their sports programme, which is waffle in the hour before the 1500 BST kickoffs, but this was because the result was announced around 1445BST. Had the debate dragged on an hour later, who knows?
I heard the result literally as I was pulling into my drive then went on to The Guardian live stream.
I did this from the US but suspect that I had I been in the UK, these would still have been my best options.I can understand why Five Live could not be used - the money they pay for football and rugby rights essentially tie them to that channel - but I'm not sure why they did not use Radio 4, with regular announcements that their regular material had been shunted to 4 Extra or could be heard on the web stream.
*Only the result was carried live, so "stayed with the debate" actually means that they talked about the debate in the studio with various punditsLast edited by Satchmo Distel; 19-10-2019, 20:12.Comment

No real complaints with 5 Live today specifically but it does show up the limitations of combining rolling news and sport. When 5 Live started in its current form it was like a dream radio station for me at the time but the saturation sport (and particularly football) coverage is wearing thin now, especially when there is news actually worth following on a rolling basis.Originally posted by Satchmo Distel View Post
Think the last straw for me was last season when they introduced a 15 minute slot at 7.45am on Monday's breakfast show to cover "the talking points from the weekend's Premier League", though they seem to have dropped that this season.
None of this explains why I didn't think to try the World Service this morning, particularly when, as I say, I've been listening to it a lot more lately.

There is a Today in Parliament episode up for today that should hopefully have all the key moments:

But I wonder if we could ever have several hours uninterrupted Commons on the radio with no studio chat, like we have on the web? Has it ever happened?Comment
