On the subject of glitches, has anybody managed to work out what was happening with Theresa May's shambolic reshuffle yesterday morning? According to Guido, somebody tipped Grayling for party Chairman in a tweet & the BBC then reported the 'move' as fact - this despite the fact that the tweet was flagged:"HEALTH WARNING: One source only..." Somebody in Conservative Central HQ saw the BBC report, assumed it was correct and tweeted congratulations to Grayling on his appointment as Chairman. Has the BBC apologized for failing to check its sources? I missed it if it did & I spent much of yesterday watching the News Channel. Strange, you'd thing that an organization that is 'Always Reporting the Truth" would have rushed to retract such fake news...
