My sister is a brilliant and humble presenter. Studio presenting’s chaotic. The breaking news, multiple interviews with an autocue you control, sometimes genuine mistakes happen. Horrible to read some of the vile messages she’s been receiving. Stop blaming her and move on.
Earlier we reported on some of the pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the weekend.We spoke about “several demonstrations across Britain during which people voiced their backing for Hamas”.
We accept this was poorly phrased and was a misleading description of the demonstrations.
