Spin the bottle-of-blame and it must point to the enthusiastically-nourished wee KKKaroline stamping those lyin' feet, which doubtlessly spill out over her navy-blue court shoes.

Upshot: the ambassador's Sunday lunch was ruined, Tim Davie is history, and the News CEO has also taken the bath. A shabby do, about which few care, such are the depths to which the BBC has fallen - or was pushed.

I shall be tuned in to LBC tomorrow at 10.59, just as the bloated Swiss tory hands over to a decent journalist who, as recently as last week, trained his sights on R4 Today.

Even considering his history with the Corporation, my guess is that the BBC is the hill he would die on.

Do fucking WHAT?!

They don't always get to resign though - IMO Milne was pushed and there are possibly others.

Robbie Gibb remains though.

If Gibb is ha-ha-stayin'-alive, you can bet 10 shekels that Trump's mobsters have been taking wider soundings.

Right on cue;

I wonder what stories Panorama are currently working on that somebody wanted closing down? Perhaps they have been doing some digging into Nigel Farage or Richard Tice. Or may be an investigation into the IDF.

Trump seems pleased with progress so far, I wonder who his pick for DG is? Laurence Fox is not swamped with work at the moment - just a thought.

It's like a reading the works of a hyperactive child, off their face on e numbers and fruit shoots.
