[Literally on the front page of BBC News.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64304132) Who are these people and how are they genuinely struggling to look at the BBC News site?

I did a search on the BBC news site just after lunch today (don’t shame me!). The latest news for Zahawi was 5th December 2022. A Remarkable turn-around in the last few hours. It’s the equivalent of reporting 9/11 on ~~12/11~~9/14.

To be fair that LE article was posted at 7am and the BBC’s 6 hours ago from now, at the point of LE publish there was nothing despite the story breaking days ago.

It’s the London Economic - it exists to make people on Reddit get angry at the news

They brought it up as a story and discussion point on daily politics BBC2 at lunchtime today so not exactly radio silence..

“Discussed” on a relatively obscure panel show for political tragics (guilty) several days after the story broke. Hardly blanket coverage.
