Asked for clarity on confusion, BBC said pride is fine if it is seen as a “a celebration”, but if the “trans issue" (as it was described) is involved then it passes as a protest and news and current affairs staff should not attend.— Benjamin Butterworth (@benjaminbutter) October 29, 2020

When Covid lockdowns put an end to his work as a wedding DJ, Jeremy Davis was free to launch himself into his other passion - trying to stop migrant boats heading from France to the shores of the UK.

She’s tagging them because they were all featured in a documentary she made (with Grace Dent?) on the topic. Obvs have not heard it but at least one of those accounts suggested it was fair to their cause, which seems like the bigger issue. It looks like she has made a couple of other docs on the same theme over the last two years for them.

i suspect this is mainly about Kieth playing the strongman (incredibly stupidly) on antisemitism, and any left wing people quitting the party in frustration and disgust is just a bonus
― big man on scampus (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 1 November 2020 11:14 (three years ago) link
Depending on what he has been suspended for, if they did kick him out, they might have to also kick out any member / MP supporting him or sharing a platform with him in the future, per the CST pledges that Starmer signed up to - though pledges obviously are flexible where he is concerned.
Rayner didn’t seem particularly clear on Newsnight aiui, idk what the briefing has been ahead of Marr et al today.

Starmer's done this because he lost his temper and lashed out and also because he's a control freak cop boss

Donald Trump's speech fact-checked
Does this happen domestically? Seems odd we'd devote so much time and resource to fact checking an outgoing foreign leader with a lengthy history of blatant lying while letting our local lads brief their favourite bbc stenographers on a daily basis.
― here we go, ten in a rona (onimo), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:06 (three years ago) link
I agree.
The UK PM is a corrupt pathological liar.
They do not treat this person as they do Trump.
They would be afraid to do so, even if they wanted to.

it's been doing this since May was PM although, yes, the focus has been on the us for the last few months, obv

That's different, though, from the way that Trump has been reported this week, with journalists in main reports enjoying saying and writing 'The President then repeated his baseless accusation that ...'.
There is something craven about doing this now, but not doing it earlier, and not doing to the equally lying scumbags in our own country.

onimo doesn't mention that, just the fact checking.
also, i've been through the first 12 pages of this and can't see anything like you're referring to:

I was shorthanding and not checking my facts tbh but I agree with the pinefox that this week has appeared different. It's like they saw CNN and MSNBC interrupt Trump's election night speech to call shenanigans on his bullshit and thought "we should do some of that, though obviously not with our guys, that would be bad form."

CNN showed the whole thing, sadly, although Cooper did call him an 'obese turtle', directly after.

considering the contorted relationship to facts evident in some US fact-checking (notably the WaPo), I'm not crying that the BBC are not using it
― plax (ico), Saturday, 7 November 2020 19:44 (three years ago) link
Fact checking as a weapon is a terrible approach for a nominally unbiased public broadcaster and I agree there's no need for it. We don't need a home grown Daniel Dale spending every waking hour going "the lying man lied again!"
However, a bit more of "presented by x as fact without evidence" might have counted as responsible journalism during Brexit/Indyref.
