BBC News 24 provides a round up and analysis of the following day's UK press every evening at about 11.30 - the Saturday event is always longer because the Sunday broad sheet press is worthy of considered analysis and comment. This is usually done by an experienced journo who can cut through crap and fillet the stories to expertly expose what will feed the public's thirst for knowledge and

There is a promotional ‘ad’ seen often on BBC News 24 where the Vatican correspondent makes the statement that the Vatican ‘works in centuries not in years’ and if that is indeed the case, then the current papal incumbent will not have been at all surprised to have just been served with a lawsuit pertaining [...]

There were two newsreaders on BBC News 24 on Tuesday night who didn't recognise the symbol/flag of Yorkshire - the white rose...I should be appalled, but I'm not...it's typical of the BBC.

The good news is that Radovan Karadzic has been arrested. He should meet the charges against him and is one of many war criminals involved in the breakup of Yugoslavia. The BBC has this . The bad news is that for several hours all BBC News 24 did was report on that, so whatever other news there was went unreported, including a review of the news papers. This is appalling. Whilst this story is very...

Michael Portillo (cue: Knives in back) has called for Caroline Spelman to be sacked as Tory chairman, according to be BBC News 24 (or is it called something else these days'). Michael Crick says that "a number of Conservative MPs" have approached the 1922 committee with similar requests. (That could mean two MPs, by the way). Newsnight has now reported further revelations based around Sally

BBC News 24 and Sky News are reporting that ministers are going to forego their pay rise next year. The reason for this, we all suspect, is because of the announcement that 11 years of New Labour has left us with a 3.3% inflation rate, which means no more interest rate cuts and more hardship for [...]

BBC News24 interviewed the representatives of the “winners”, Keith Vaz and the leader of the parliamentary DUP. Keith Vaz looked like someone who was eating a mouthful of shit while trying to cover up his innate gagging response. He claimed he would have voted against it, if not for the “concessions.” He’d better hope he gets paid back handsomely for his vote in the next reshuffle or he’ll have shown...

Whilst working late yesterday, I was watching BBC News 24's coverage of the primary elections. There was footage of Hillary Clinton shaking hands with her supporters, and smiling that far-too-fake smile; the one that looks as though she's a guppy fish that's just been told that it's won the lottery. The reporter said something to the effect of, "Hillary Clinton looks very upbeat here. Maybe she thinks...

It was like a donkey sanctuary,” said the Telegraph nark infiltrated into Boris Johnson's victory party in the Millbank Tower. “Lots of very drunk public schoolboys alternately booing and cheering at BBC News 24 as first Boris then Ken came on.
