This story should really warrant as much widespread coverage as the Lineker story and is the real issue with impartiality at the BBC - and no doubt led to where we got last week. The BBC basically under the instructions of Downing Street telling reporters what language to use (so "lockdown" wasn't seen in BBC News articles) and then instructing them to be more sceptical of Labour plans. It is the people who parrotted these messages to BBC staff on behalf of the government whose positions should be reviewed, not somebody daring to have an opinion on a government policy widely criticised by independent organisations.
