Have asked the BBC why it doesn't appear to have reported Jennifer Arcuri's new revelations of a 4-yr affair with Boris Johnson & questions this raises about her benefiting from thousands of pounds in public money while he was London Mayor.

Hope press office doesn't ignore it 👀
And here's the response on #BBC News' lack of coverage of new revelations by Jennifer Arcuri:

BBC tells me "stories are chosen due to their editorial merit" & it "has covered the issue substantially when there have been newsworthy updates"

My questions to BBC related to Arcuri's new revelations of recent days about her sexual affair with Johnson & more details about their relationship.

Last time BBC News seems to have covered their relationship (which first emerged in 2019) was last May:

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
BBC Newsnight has run a segment tonight on how we can regulate public standards and ensure greater political accountability - mainly revolving around the conduct of the former Prime Minister David Cameron...

"Former colleagues say there is deep-seated reluctance to cover this & other stories that cast PM in a bad light, with one saying it's coming 'from the top'"

Eye-opening by @Baghdaddi after my enquiry to #BBC over lack of coverage of new Arcuri claims 🔽

Wow. Government's race commission concludes that Britain is a "model to the world" on diversity and that there is no evidence of institutional racism in Britain today. Just wow. This is a significant attempt to roll back decades and decades of hard-won progress in this country 🔽 Image
"Increasing 'diversity' does not, in itself, tackle racism when issue is a cultural, historic identity in which racism is embedded. To the contrary, it can be a smokescreen"

I wrote about difference between 'diversity' & institutional racism last week 🔽

bylinetimes.com/2021/03/25/div…
"What is concerning is not the issue of diversity per se but how it is increasingly being used to sidestep the systematic problems of race in Britain – which are being voiced more loudly and regularly than at any point in the past two decades"

Catching up on @BBCPanorama & surprised not to see more headlines around its key findings – including Government counting items such as cleaning equipment, waste bags, detergent & paper towels as PPE. And *each* individual glove counted, rather than pairs

bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
The @BBCPanorama report found instances of hospital staff being provided with aprons people would serve food in and boxes of masks with out-of-date stickers stuck over out-of-date stickers #COVIDー19
Ahead of #COVIDー19, Government bought no gowns, visors, testing swabs or body bags for its stockpiles. @Johnrashton47 told @BBCPanorama: Government failed to get a grip early, took advice from too narrow a range of people and now spinning story to say it ‘followed the science’

'How safe are British elections from foreign interference?' --> good to see @BBCNewsnight leading on this tonight. #GE2019 #ReleaseTheRussiaReport
Whitehall officials have told @BBCNewsnight that they feel Downing Street HAS had adequate time to clear the #Russia report for publication. Officials concerned that report has been suppressed due to worries about its 'weaponisation' - which has been put before national security
Dominic Grieve: "I very much fear that the report will never see the light of day" #ReleaseTheRussiaReport

"The Government’s place is not to be assisting people who think they can’t make it on their own, it’s an absolute last emergency order” --> the words of UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty & Human Rights @Alston_UNSR should shame Britain & need to be publicised. My THREAD:
Professor Philip Alston said that 14 million people are in poverty in the UK (a figure the Government disputes) and that child poverty rates are “staggering” and are predicted to go up significantly over the next couple of years. #poverty #humanrights #austerity
The UN Special Rapporteur said he saw “a lot of misery” during his trip to the UK & met “a lot of people who feel the system is really there just to punish them”. People who could have gotten help in "yesterday's Britain" can no longer count on it #poverty #humanrights #austerity
