I know this is also the opinion of some of the internet& #39;s worst twats but: I don& #39;t think this editorialising tone from the host of the show is a good idea https://twitter.com/robdelaney/status/1265573416909889538">https://twitter.com/robdelane...
I think he did, and you think he did, but "Dominic Cummings broke the rules" is not a hard fact and you cannot have the presenter stating it as such.

Not convinced by this. The problem with BBC reporting in those cases was false balance: undue prominence to poorly evidenced claims. You can fix that without having the host open the show by saying eg "Brexit will cost Britain a lot of money" to camera https://twitter.com/t0nyyates/status/1265645425790459904?s=20">https://twitter.com/t0nyyates...
HOWEVER, given the endless instances of lost objectivity elsewhere on BBC News that are apparently fine (Maitlis& #39; own comments on unions just the other day, for example), to cave so quickly here because she was criticising the government is pathetic https://twitter.com/BBCNewsPR/status/1265666465308573696?s=19">https://twitter.com/BBCNewsPR...
I mean, I can see what case one might make for the Cummings remarks being over the line and this not being but hoo boy, I wouldn& #39;t want to build a house on that distinction https://twitter.com/shirleymush/status/1262883692613156866?s=20">https://twitter.com/shirleymu...
Let& #39;s hope these staff are, uh, in the grip of the unions https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/1265674604774858752?s=20">https://twitter.com/OwenJones...
ROGER: (sotto voce) They& #39;ve had a row, she& #39;s refused to present the programme https://twitter.com/esmewren/status/1265726376365174790?s=20">https://twitter.com/esmewren/...
