Apologies if it’s been mentioned - is their election night coverage being anchored from the atrium or are they still in the VR studio?

I think the BBC must be the only organisation or company that allows its staff to post critical comments about it on social media ?

Anywhere else such an action would result in a bollocking

What are you referring to?

Still in the main studio, with this as a secondary presentation area with Nina Hossain, Robert Peston and Anushka Asthana.

Oh they were, but they were still critical of the BBC, and were the seed of 'negative publicity' if you read the responces and reaction. Foot shooting!.

Freedom of Expression is a cornerstone principle that most BBC management are signed up to. They extend this to staff - within reason.

It's an interesting discussion where the limits of that should be!

I don't think the narrative this has gained in the public domain is beneficial overall to the Beeb
