Laura Kuenssberg wants to know if 'working people' are those who have "Scrimped and saved to buy a couple of rental properties". Won’t somebody think of the poor landlords? This ‘working people’ line of questioning is preposterous. #bbclaurak

Interesting framing from Kemi Badenoch re partygate. It was “overblown” - the law was to blame, it shouldn’t have been illegal. 🙄 #BBCLauraK

Graham Stuart demonstrates that the Tories have learned nothing from their failed experiment. Austerity is not "living within our means". Austerity doesn’t just damage public services, it widens inequality, limits opportunities and destroys faith in the future. #bbcqt

Incredible. Conservatives trounced in the local elections, but the bbc flagship politicial programme #bbclaurak lead “interview” is an unchallenged rant from the delusional, divisive, twice-sacked, right wing crank, Suella Braverman. Why was she platformed? #LauraKuenssberg

On #bbcqt Yasmin Alibhai-Brown points out “Stanley Johnson was a wife beater” Fiona Bruce helpfully explains “he broke his wife’s nose, she was hospitalised” “ it did happen, BUT it was a one off” What a defence - only occasional domestic violence 🤔

As #bbclaurak is trending, it is worth reminding ourselves that just 4 weeks ago, Laura had Mandelson on for the softest interview on her show. To add insult to injury, his client, Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit. Complicit?

This is what passes for political analysis on #bbclaurak Very highly paid TV presenters suggesting Starmer should go on I'm a Celebrity because this is how the public got to “know” “man of the people” Farage. Do me a favour.

Laura Kuenssberg blatantly framing the budget as an attack on class. Never mind poverty- “rightly or wrongly you’ve put taxes up on private jets and private schools” On the other hand Kemi Badenoch is introduced as the “bold and radical” new leader of opposition. #BBCLauraK

The softest interview imaginable with Nigel Farage on #BBCLauraK No pushback, no challenge, just nodding acceptance of populist rhetoric. Farage complains “We are getting poorer” Not challenged by Laura Kuenssberg on the role Brexit has played in UK economic downturn. Pathetic.
