I have just watched 15 minutes from about 8.45 of ITV's Good Morning. Piers Morgan & Susannah Reid interviewed Government Minister Simon Clarke & tied him in knots. It was stunning to realise that he had no concept of the difference between Statistics rolled out by his government and the numbers published in respectable newspapers regarding deaths due to Covid - 19.

This was in total contrast to the earlier deferential approach of Dan Walker & Louise Minchin on BBC Breakfast. We are all aware of the eggshells the "BBC" is walking on over any animosity towards the present government since the very future of "auntie" will be visited upon in the not too distant future, but there can be no excuse for the softly,softly approach currently being taken by BBC News.

Please let Paxman & Neil return to the fray daily so that the ill-informed and evasive characters purportedly governing our country can be more readily held to account.

I'm sure that the programme will be available on ITV Hub a little later today, probably within the hour, and can be highly recommended to any one of our colleagues who are unhappy with the way in which the editorial wing of the BBC is kowtowing to the Westminster incompetants.

There are lessons to be learned!
