    The fraudian can hardly contain themselves:

    Apparently scowling and rolling your eyes at Labour interviewees sends the right signals.

    That article is packed full of things that me roll my eyes:

    The hires were made by the programme’s new editor, Esme Wren, who joined from Sky News last year, making it one of the first major BBC current affairs shows to be edited and presented entirely by women.

    Barnett has established herself in recent years after joining the corporation from the Daily Telegraph,

    SKY and the Torygraph. Sounds right up the beeb's street.

    Maitlis, who was recently named network presenter of the year at the RTS Television Journalism awards,

    Emily’s promotion is testament to the journalistic excellence, passion and interview style that saw her recognised as network presenter of the year at the recent RTS Television Journalism awards.

    Everyone getting gongs from the RTS. Who would have thunk it?

    The show has also been aided by the decision to cut back the length of BBC One’s News at Ten by 10 minutes, ensuring the main news bulletin does not overlap with the more analytical equivalent.

    Less info, more propaganda.

    Should keep her in knee length porno boots for a while.
