Michael Gove has just given out the number for Downing Street on @bbc5live encouraging us to call Boris Johnson’s diary secretary to find out if he’ll sit down for an interview with @afneil - odd flex but here it is:

0207 930 4433 #GE2019 #GeneralElection2019
Context: he was asked to give a number for the likelihood of Boris Johnson doing the Andrew Neil interview. He replied with the phone number and encouragement above... #GE2019 #emptychair ?
Here’s the audio...

BBC bosses have pulled plug on politically sensitive reports into close ties between leading politicians & Russia. John Sweeney, a ex-BBC investigative reporter, turned whistleblower says in a complaint against BBC with Ofcom, the broadcasting watchdog.

Investigations into Labour’s Lord Mandelson, former Tory cabinet minister John Whittingdale, Brexit funder Arron Banks, oligarch Roman Abramovich and the far-right activist Tommy Robinson were all dropped. thetimes.co.uk/article/bbc-wh…
Reports into “the pro-Russian sympathies of Labour spin doctor Seumas Milne” were never even commissioned by BBC editors as were concerns about Boris Johnson’s links with Russian oligarchs. thetimes.co.uk/article/bbc-wh…

BBC 1 PM news edited out the audience laughing at Boris Johnson when he was questioned on trust. The key moment of the entire night. This is unforgivable journalism
Here is the original footage that BBC cut out. You can very clearly hear the audience laughing at Boris Johnson’s trust issues. Trust is central to the election outcome. Erasing this laughter from the clip is shocking BBC

I’m going to make a thread the the articles I personally loved writing and the stories I personally loved covering in the past 2 years. This might be a slightly long thread, so don’t hate me for it
Where I wrote about Pakistan’s 5th column warfare: The senate report on how to widen faultlines in India and how the media happily plays the role of Pakistan’s OGW happily

Where Yogi Adityanath shutting down illegal slaughterhouses created an outrage, but the actual ban on legal alcohol by Nitish govt was accepted without a peep

Boris Johnson has been Prime Minister for 50 days. He promised the UK would leave on 31st October, with no Election before Brexit, and to keep Corbyn out.

At @CapX I introduce "Downing Street Cluedo": which of these 8 cards might Boris try to play next?

@CapX By Oct 19th, the PM seems certain to face this unenviable "Boris Trilemma"

* Extend Article 50?

* Revive Theresa May's Deal?

* Resign - maybe letting Corbyn be PM?

He must make one of the biggest u-turns in political history to unlock a General Election. Which will he choose?
@CapX I would welcome Twitter hive-mind views on
- whether the Prime Minister has any other viable course of action that is not identified in my piece
- which choice the Prime Minister seems most likely to make (and what then follows from it)

NEW

Footage shows Boris Johnson told activists on Saturday the “rough shape” of his brexit plan looked like “the Brady Amendment, the Malthouse Compromise” - which KEEPS the Withdrawal Agreement absent the backstop
NEW

Footage also shows Boris Johnson wants renegotiate the arrangements over the Irish border DURING an “implementation period” - but how would he get that?
Boris Johnson faces questions from experts over how he can do this

Sam Lowe, CER
While there is lots of talk of the withdrawal agreement being dead in the water, Boris’s statement suggests that in reality he wants to change very little, with the exception of the Irish backstop.

@JosephineFormby @afneil So Neil is not biased and @OwenJones84 who does not present a #BBC flagship programme is?
1. He was a member of The Glasgow University Conservative Club
2, He was a member of the Federation of Conservative Students.
3. He briefly worked for the Conservative Party
@JosephineFormby @afneil @OwenJones84 4. He is the current chairman of Press Holdings Media Group, whose titles include The Spectator, and the ITP Media. The Spectator is known for its leanings to the Right!
@JosephineFormby @afneil @OwenJones84 In 2018 the The Spectator published an article online headlined ‘In praise of the Wehrmacht.’ Despite the copy being quickly changed, the original was screen-grabbed and shared on Twitter. I assume you know about the Wehrmacht?
