Adrienne Mann<p>As unsavoury as it is, the more people are talking about the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BBCpresenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BBCpresenter</span></a> story (including the BBC themselves) the less we're talking about Boris Johnson's contempt of parliament, the George Osbourne email story, that inflation is at 8.7%, the UK water company debacle, the Michelle Mone PPE scandal, the fact that an MP was arrested four times and accused of rape, but still has the Tory whip and is standing for election... It's all deflection and distraction, and Rupert Murdoch is right there.</p>
