1625491281530212354 | @RobBurl @mikenoller There are a few journalists who really need to stick their heads above the parapet eg @AlStewartOBE @GloriaDePiero and say whether they are comfortable being the lipstick on the GBNews pig. @DrMatthewSweet is a hero. | 15 |
1626189964181397514 | @bradleysp @Eques4 @Caspurs1 @davidyelland @DrMatthewSweet @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS It doesn't require @OFCOM to ultimately uphold a complaint, the issues it causes in the meantime IMHO encourages the Broadcasters to 'play safe' &self censor. The @MarkSteynOnline situation is I think a good example of it & the noticeable recent subtle changes of @GBNEWS output. | 13 |

1624762880934420480 | @AlStewartOBE @benhabib6 @GBNEWS Utter tosh from Norman Baker Brexit meant leaving the CU/SM as confirmed by Osborne, Gove & Cameron. Anyone thinking the Ditchley Park meeting (with Mandelson in the chair) was an attempt to "get Brexit done" needs to give their head a wobble. | 9 |
1625980760887902212 | @AlStewartOBE And I didn’t say it, @AlStewartOBE. No pig simile came from me. If you’ve just put the wrong glasses on and misread it, fine. But I really think it would be best for you to delete both your tweets about me. Particularly the accusation of deception. That’s rather serious | 9 |

1625968608382779407 | @AlStewartOBE Seriously, what happened to you? You’re the face of the news for millions of people growing up and had been (rightly) credited for being balanced and professional. Such a shame. | 134 |
1625955530299609104 | @DrMatthewSweet @mrjamesob @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Grim how newsreaders etc you used to think were OK are grifting for a few coins over on GBNews. The dying embers of their career ebbing away. | 130 |
