So after complaining about the stream of semi conscious "brain" dump from the former culture secretary the BBC replied with this.
"Nadine Dorries was the first and only Cabinet minister and Boris Johnson loyalist to have given an interview since the Sue Gray appointment had emerged, and the programme was keen to press her on her reaction as well as what the appointment meant for the work of the Privileges Committee. In hindsight we agree that there should have been more challenge to Ms Dorries’s claims, especially around Sue Gray being a personal friend of Keir Starmer and the assertion that she had brought the Civil Service into disrepute by breaking its code and showing a lack of integrity.
Listeners who heard the full sequence will have been aware that Lord Kerslake did go onto question the claim that Ms Gray and Sir Keir Starmer were personal friends and he also defended Ms Gray’s professional integrity as a senior civil servant. He also made the point that other Governments have recruited senior civil servants to such a role in the past.
However we accept that the decision not to hear from Lord Kerslake directly after Ms Dorries’ interview, coupled with the lack of challenge by the presenter and the detail with which Ms Dorries set out her points, may have left some listeners with the impression that her claims were not contested."
Sounds like a candid admission that they got it a bit wrong.
Good for you for complaining.👍
So am I right in thinking it came across as partial rather than impartial?
Nadine Dorries has form for making things up - there was all that stuff about the channel 4 documentary where she claimed everyone was a paid actor.
Everyone interviewing her should begin with the assumption that she is lying.
