I can't imagine one of my presenter colleagues getting away with saying on-air that someone was faking suicidal feelings.
Chiefly because we - & most other outlets - aren't TV clickbait for the lowest common denominator.
Ambivalent re Meghan herself, but pretty angry right now.

Well, as someone with quadriplegic cerebral palsy from the moment I entered this world 31 years ago, I've come to rely on it.
It's curtailed a lot of things, but not my capacity for empathy.
I find it hard to believe this week’s
@IpsosMORI
survey which says that the biggest concern of young people today is the NHS. I’m not in any way denigrating the importance of the NHS, but what young, healthy person goes around worrying about the health service all day?

As the producer of the paper review on the other side, I'm 95% sure I can answer this, Jo.
While - obviously - I can't speak for what did/didn't happen at the Beeb last night, we at Sky quite often withhold from pages from air until we can stand them up/offer right of reply.

:
How does an extension to June 30th do anything other than appease hard-line Brexiteers? Go for two years, then leave when you're good and ready - even if it's only after six months. May, though, seems to like impending doom.

We'd get 7-8m viewers on primetime BBC1 and it was genuine public-service broadcasting - and really good fun!
To see it relegated to a One Show sub-brand is a crying shame.
Martin Lewis has quite a speech here lamenting how the BBC relegated consumer journalism to a section in The One Show, when such issues affect millions of lives

As if the expected response is: "Well, I haven't been dissuaded from a 20-year career career in journalism until now, but some wazzock with nine digits in his username has swayed me, so I hereby resign."

Good luck to GB News who have announced that they are doing an Alternative Match of the Day today programme with pundits…

What happened last night was not funny. Far-left activists disrupted the event, which then had to be stopped for security reasons.
This is done to intimidate people and suppress free speech. I won't stand for it.
Would we see the same reaction if the activists were far-right?

My grandmother's love of the written and spoken word is something I've been fortunate enough to inherit. A short time ago, she slipped away.

My analysis as a wheelchair-using journalist, who - full disclosure - gets PIP...
At roughly 23% on-average in polls, I'm not sure this is the game-changing vote-winner the Tories might be hoping for.
Maybe done in hope of wooing back Reform-ers to try for a hung parliament.

RIP to Sir Frank Williams - the first wheelchair user I ever saw on TV not as part of a mawkish charity appeal, but rather as a role model.
