Maitlis his since publically stated that she was not 'replaced' but 'asked for the night off'.
Emily Maitlis: I asked for night off from BBC's Newsnight
Presenter Emily Maitlis had been told her remarks about Dominic Cummings breached BBC guidelines.www.bbc.co.uk
It still stands though that then BBC thought she 'did not meet the required standards of due impartiality'.
I think she reflected the current mood of the nation pretty well!
Yes, Emily, of course you asked for the day off. (where's that "rolls eyes" emoji when you want it)?
In a perverse way, I quite admire Cummings for his brazen cheek in batting off all the criticism when he's so clearly in the wrong. The left wing media are so desperate to get rid of him but if he can see this one out, he'll probably be invincible, job-wise!
