Lightly revised, but it's still Reform PR, with no scare quotes or negativity implied. They are trying to ride this one out, but it's a clear breach of journalistic standards, IMHO.

They seem to realise they've been caught out (sorry, 'made an error of judgement') on this one, and are backtracking, bit by bit, seeing how little they can get away with.

Haha, unlikely, but lots of moaners on Bluesky, quite a few of whom have emailed the BBC to complain.

Sambrook is a former Director of BBC News, not some provincial trumpeter on NCAP.

Not disputing the poor reporting, but, shouldn’t such cuts to welfare be a vote loser, given the numbers in receipt of benefits?

The same way Trump's policies *ought* to be vote losers amongst the people who keep voting for him.
But all they see is "tax cut" and they think "Hey, let's vote for that - it's gotta be good for me, hasn't it?"

Hmm, yes, similar to what I have said elsewhere.
I wonder if the majority of Clacton voters are significant income tax payers?

Yeah. Similar to what I have commented elsewhere. “I am a deserving case” basically.

I hope not. This place is biased enough.
