Key figures in BBC crisis to be questioned by MPs https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jepgyl2jwo

an mp bothered about the leak to telegraph- who

I believe that was Cameron Thomas, Lib Dem. Pointlessly hostile against Prescott I felt.

3:30pm
Caroline Daniel
Michael Prescott

4:30pm
Dr Samir Shah CBE (Chair at BBC)
Sir Robbie Gibb
Caroline Thomson

Agree

Prescott sounds bemused and incredulous about it all tbh.

Prescott feels there could be a culture issue in the bbc. He’s not sure but some of the things he’s outlined points towards that and that it was getting worse

I'd also say that Prescott started off reasonably defensive of the BBC but is being more critical as he's getting cheesed off.

Prescott's on fire i feel privileged to watch this

He really is.

Who is the Chair. I like her.

He’s got a really good view of the whole thing it feels

“DG job is too big for one person.”

which imo makes sense

I read something this morning on the BBC News website that there's going to be a Deputy DG.

Dame Caroline Dinenage, Conservative, is the chair.

Thanks. That won't go down well in certain areas, will it?

I assume that the question about whether Prescott know a certain person is another smear attempt. How depressing, is all they can do is ignore the real issues.

I think the niggling and attempted gotchas are what's cheesing him off.

I'm not surprised. They're pissing ME off

And me

Lady with the top with the pink V is Vicky Foxcroft, Labour I think.

Maybe it's V for Vicky.

Basically when ppl complain, as we well know, there’s no consistent rigorous strategy to make sure balance and basic journalistic correctness happens

This guy just isn't getting the point

More attempted gotchas from Cameron Thomas, Liberal Democrat. Does he think his role today is to defend the BBC?

If this footage gets to Trump he'll be more motivated to sue.

Oh, no. It's now Dr Rupa Huq, Labour.

Well she's thick

No he really wasn’t.

Donald’s sexual harassment convictions doesn’t mean the bbc can misrepresent a speech he made
