Would you like to work for the BBC?


What on earth is going on at the BBC?

Victoria Derbyshire heard that her programme was being cancelled after reading it in The Times.

And now, live on Twitter, one of the Today programme's longest-serving reporters, Sanchia Berg, is (understandably) spitting feathers after learning that her job is going via MailOnline:
I learn through @MailOnline that the job I’ve done for more than 20 years is to be closed. Thanks!
Here are some of the replies:
  • Gaetan Portal: Look after yourself Sanchia. The leaking of plans for cuts to staff and services is awful. Whoever is behind it should be ashamed of themselves. All best to you. 
  • June Kelly (BBC Home Affairs Correspondent): Gaetan is speaking for many of us. 
  • Jim Reed (BBC reporter): This whole process has been an absolute car crash. Know how you feel Sanchia and thoughts with you and Today team this week. Hoping it's not as bad as Mail makes out.
